Corrective Taxation for Curbing Pollution and Promoting Green Product Design and RecyclingSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 25 - Trang 477-500 - 2003
Thomas Eichner, Rüdiger Pethig
In this paper we consider a competitive economy with flows of materials from
extraction via recycling to landfilling which exhibits distortions due to
pollution, external landfilling costs and inefficient product design. The
allocative impact of tax-subsidy policies aiming at internalizing the
distortions are analyzed when the pertinent tax-subsidy rates were successively
raised from zero toward t... hiện toàn bộ
Climate Policy Under Uncertain and Heterogeneous Climate DamagesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 54 - Trang 79-99 - 2012
Matthias G. W. Schmidt, Hermann Held, Elmar Kriegler, Alexander Lorenz
We highlight that uncertainty about climate damages and the fact that damages
will be distributed heterogeneously across the global population can jointly be
an argument for substantially stricter climate policy even if uncertainty and
heterogeneity in isolation are not. The reason is that a given climate risk
borne by fewer people implies greater welfare losses. However, these losses turn
out to ... hiện toàn bộ
Permit Markets with Political and Market DistortionsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 82 - Trang 227-255 - 2022
Alex Dickson, Ian A. MacKenzie
This article investigates cap-and-trade markets in the presence of both
political and market distortions. We create a model where dominant firms have
the ability to rent seek for a share of pollution permits as well as influence
the market equilibrium with their choice of permit exchange because of market
power. We derive the equilibrium and show the interaction of these two
distortions has conseq... hiện toàn bộ
Impacts of CO2-Taxes in an Economy with Niche Markets and Learning-by-DoingSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 28 - Trang 367-394 - 2004
Reyer Gerlagh, Bob van der Zwaan, Marjan W. Hofkes, Ger Klaassen
In this paper, we analyse the impact of carbon taxes on emission levels, when
niche markets exist for new carbon-free technologies, and when these
technologies experience ``learning-by-doing'' effects. For this purpose, a
general equilibrium model has been developed, DEMETER, that specifies two energy
technologies: one based on fossil fuels and one on a composite of carbon-free
technologies. Initi... hiện toàn bộ
Stochastic Integrated Assessment of Ecosystem Tipping RiskSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 65 - Trang 573-598 - 2016
Thomas S. Lontzek, Daiju Narita, Ole Wilms
One of the major potential consequences of climate change is damage to earth’s
ecosystems, damage which could manifest itself in the form of tipping risks. We
establish an economic growth model of ecosystem tipping risks, set in the
context of possible forest dieback. We consider different specifications of
impacts arising from the forest dieback tipping point, specifications such as
changes in th... hiện toàn bộ
How Disagreement About Social Costs Leads to Inefficient Energy-Productivity InvestmentSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 60 - Trang 521-548 - 2014
Achim Voß
Public energy-productivity investment influences the amount of future energy
consumption. If a present government expects its successor to value the social
costs of fuel usage differently, this adds a strategic component to its
investment considerations. We analyze this governmental time-inconsistency
situation as a sequential game. In particular, we show how the expectation of a
more conservative... hiện toàn bộ
Any Signs of Green Growth? A Spatial Panel Analysis of Regional Air Pollution in South KoreaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 80 - Trang 719-760 - 2021
Erik Hille, Bernhard Lambernd, Aviral K. Tiwari
Focusing on air emissions in South Korean provinces, we investigate whether
economic growth has become greener since the implementation of the national
green growth strategy in 2009. Given the relevance of regional elements in the
economic and environmental policies, the focus lies on spatial aspects. That is,
spillovers from nearby provinces are controlled for in a SLX model by means of
the Han–P... hiện toàn bộ
Environmental Quality, Medical Care Demand and Environmental Tax InteractionsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 37 - Trang 431-443 - 2006
Çağatay Koç
Assuming that improvements in environmental quality lead to lower demand for
medical care, it has been shown that general-equilibrium interactions with the
tax-distorted labor market reduce the benefits from such improvements, and thus
lower the second-best optimal environmental tax. This paper provides some
insights on how the link between environmental quality, individual’s health
capital, and t... hiện toàn bộ
