Based on a case study on Bombay, we argue that urban infrastructure, like the sewage system and the municipal waste collection, is an important instrument for urban environmental policy. We develop a spatial general equilibrium model of a monocentric city, where infrastructure serves as a public...

In a bilateral trade framework, we examine the impact of tariff reduction on the optimal pollution tax and social welfare when pollution is transboundary. Strategic considerations lead countries to distort their pollution tax in the non-cooperative equilibrium. Trade liberalization changes the...

Economists have tended to view emissions pricing (e.g., cap and trade or a carbon tax) as the most cost …-effective approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This paper offers a different view. Employing analytical and numerically solved …. This advantage more than offsets the disadvantages of the CES when relatively minor reductions in emissions are called for …

The paper presents a polycentric general equilibrium model with congestion externalities and distortionary labor taxation calibrated to fit the key empirical regularities of the regional economy and transport system of Randstad conglomeration. In line with more stylized models, marginal external...
