Empirical evidence supports the existence of pollution abatement possibilities at negative costs, the so-called 'no-regret options'. We provide a microeconomic rationale for the existence of such potential at the firm level. An econometric application confirms that pollution abatement cost...

The paper analytically explores the optimal allocation of investments into mitigation and environmental adaptation against climate change damages at a macroeconomic level. The economic-environmental model is formulated as a social planner problem where adaptation and abatement investments are...

In this paper, we analyze the relationship between technological greening, eco-efficiency and no-regret strategies. By using a simple theoretical model we evaluate the effects of technological greening on creation value, pollution level, and eco-efficiency. We show three contrasting effects of...
