Decentralized Environmental Regulations and Plant-Level Productivity
Ghosal, Vivek; Stephan, Andreas; Weiss, Jan F. - 2018
Using a unique plant-level dataset we examine total factor productivity (TFP) growth and its components, related to efficiency change and technical change. The data we use is from Sweden and for their pulp and paper industry, which is heavily regulated due to its historically large contribution...

CO2 mitigation in road transport: Gasoline taxation and/or fuel-efficiency regulation?
Pethig, Rüdiger - 2009
Although gasoline taxes are widely used (nearly) efficient CO2 emission controls, additional fuel-efficiency regulation is applied e.g. in the USA and in Europe. In a simple analytical model, we specify the welfare implications of (i) gasoline taxes, (ii) of 'gas-guzzler taxes' (iii) of...

Getting cars off the road: the cost-effectiveness of an episodic pollution control program
Cropper, Maureen L.; Jiang, Yi; Alberini, Anna; Baur, … - 2010
Ground level ozone remains a serious problem in the United States. Because ozone non-attainment is a summer problem, episodic rather than continuous controls of ozone precursors are possible. We evaluate the costs and effectiveness of an episodic scheme that requires people to buy permits in...

Assessing China's energy conservation and carbon intensity: how will the future differ from the past?
Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2010
As an important step towards building a 'harmonious society' through 'scientific development', China has incorporated for the first time in its five-year economic plan an energy input indicator as a constraint. While it achieved a quadrupling of its GDP while cutting its energy intensity by...

Breaking the impasse in international climate negotiations: A new direction for currently flawed negotiations and a roadmap for China to 2050
Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2011
China's unilateral pledge to cut its carbon intensity by 40-45 percent by 2020 relative to its 2005 levels raises both the stringency issue, and given that China's pledge is in the form of carbon intensity, reliability issues concerning China's statistics on energy and GDP. Moreover, as long as...

Assessing China's carbon intensity pledge for 2020: Stringency and credibility issues and their implications
Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2010
Just prior to the Copenhagen climate summit, China pledged to cut its carbon intensity by 40-45% by 2020 relative to its 2005 levels to help to reach an international climate change agreement at Copenhagen or beyond. This raises the issue of whether such a pledge is ambitious or just represents...
