A Damage Based Tax Mechanism for Regulation of Non-Point Emissions
Tập 12 Số 1 - Trang 99-112 - 1998
In a recent paper Segerson (1988) proposed a novel incentive mechanism for
stochastic non-point emissions based on ambient pollution concentrations in
nature. For specification of the mechanism when the damage function is
nonlinear, the regulator must know polluters’ cost and emission functions. The
mechanism also gives incentives to form coalitions among polluters, which, if
they are formed, rend...
Managing the international commons: Resource use and pollution control
- 1995
The simultaneous management, in an international context, of free-access
renewable resources and transboundary pollution, is examined in a dynamic game
framework. First-best outcomes under international cooperation are determined
and compared to noncooperative outcomes when countries follow linear Markov
strategies. An international policy consisting of taxes on emissions and
harvesting, with inte...
Nuclear Power, Externalities and Non-Standard Pigouvian Taxes
Tập 11 Số 2 - Trang 177-195 - 1998
The external effects arising from the use of nuclear power are, in a fundamental
way, related to uncertainty. In this paper we locate these external effects and
derive a dynamic Pigouvian tax in order to make the decentralized economy
support the command optimum. Another interesting result is that a small constant
energy tax (which we interpret as a second best policy) can take the
decentralized e...
Is Ecolabelling a Reliable Environmental Policy Measure?
Tập 18 Số 1 - Trang 113-127 - 2001
The rationale of ecolabelling is to enable firms to reap the
willingness-to-payfor the environmental attributes of goods by helping consumers
toidentify ``green'' products. By so doing, ecolabelling is expected tostimulate
spontaneous environmental innovation and to reduce aggregatedpollution. Our
analysis however outlines situations under whichecolabelling could induce
perverse effects, namely in...
A Green Energy Plan for Denmark
Tập 14 Số 3 - Trang 431-440 - 1999
Several political regulation instruments -- such as CO2 taxes -- have been
suggested to implement CO2 reduction policies. But normally the cost of
implementing CO2 reduction policies is considered to be a threat to both
economic growth and employment. But to some extent, strategies can be developed
which implement CO2 reduction goals by creating jobs and such strategies could
help economic growth....
An Economic Analysis and Simulation of Woodfuel Management in the Sahel
Tập 19 Số 3 - Trang 285-304 - 2001
This paper presents an economic framework and a computationalmethodology for
assessing the evolution of woodfuel supply costsand the spatial distribution of
biomass in a Sahelian woodlandsetting. Spatial data on standing stock and the
costs oftransport to market are used to construct a supply curve for fuelto a
fuel-consuming location. Given an exogenously specifieddemand, the model
simulates, per...
Decentralization Effects in Ecological Fiscal Transfers: A Bayesian Structural Time Series Analysis for Portugal
- 2018
Portugal has a unitary system in which the central government transfers funds to
lower government levels for their public functions. In 2007, Portugal introduced
Ecological Fiscal Transfers (EFT), where municipalities receive transfers for
hosting protected areas (PA). We study whether introducing EFT in Portugal
incentivized municipalities to designate PA and has led to a decentralization of
cons...
Structural Decomposition Analysis of Physical Flows in the Economy
Tập 23 Số 3 - Trang 357-378 - 2002
Many environmental problems can be attributedto the extraction and emissions of
physicalsubstances. Increasing our understanding of theeconomic and
technological driving forcesbehind these physical flows can contribute tosolving
the environmental problems related tothem. The input-output framework is a
usefulsetting in which to integrate detailedinformation about economic structure
andphysical flo...
