Linking Emissions Trading Schemes
This paper critically assesses the potential for linkage of emissions trading schemes (ETS) designed to curb greenhouse gases. Based on current negotiations in order to link domestic schemes, we highlight the institutional barriers that exist due to different design options. Among these barriers, we highlight the potential negative effects on environmental integrity that arise from linking a rate-based system with an absolute system. Our results therefore suggest that increasing interests in linking ETS shall not be exempt from careful regulatory appraisal ex ante. Besides, we raise new questions by demonstrating how the linking process has an impact on agents' choices of technology and pollution levels.
Cooperation in Green R &D and Environmental Policies
This article compares taxes and standards as environmental policies in a duopoly model where production generates pollution. To lower their emissions, firms invest in upstream green R&D (in the presence of technological spillovers) either cooperatively or non-cooperatively, and then compete in quantities. The outcomes of the two policies are identical when firms do not cooperate in R&D; R&D cooperation under taxes always improves social welfare while R&D cooperation under standards pushes firms to reduce production, which is harmful for consumers but better for the environment. When the choice of the policy instrument is endogenized, R&D cooperation under an environmental standard never emerges as an equilibrium strategy of the game.p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
Public Capital, Growth and Welfare
Laying a solid foundation of economic facts and ideas, this book provides a comprehensive look at the critical role of public capital in development.
Human Capital and Economic Growth
This edited collection explores the links between human capital (both in the form of health and in the form of education), demographic change, and economic growth. Using empirical as well as theoretical perspectives, the authors investigate several important issues in the context of human capital, namely population ageing, inequality, public policy, and long-term economic development. Ultimately, they demonstrate that the accumulation of human capital is of crucial importance to long-run economic growth.
Econometric Analysis of Carbon Markets
Through analysis of the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) and the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), this book demonstrates how to use a variety of econometric techniques to analyze the evolving and expanding carbon markets sphere, techniques that can be extrapolated to the worldwide marketplace. It features stylized facts about carbon markets from an economics perspective, as well as covering key aspects of pricing strategies, risk and portfolio management.
