A Public Finance Perspective on Climate Policy: Six Interactions That May Enhance Welfare
Siegmeier, Jan; Mattauch, Linus; Franks, Max; Klenert, David - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2015

Bartolomeo, Giovanni Di; Acocella, Nicola; Pauwels, Wilfried - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004

Dynamic Controllability with Overlapping targets: A Generalization of the Tinbergen-Nash Theory of Economic Policy
Bartolomeo, Giovanni Di; Acocella, Nicola; Hallett, … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2005
We generalize some recent results developed in static policy games with multiple players, to a dynamic context. We find that the classical theory of economic policy can be usefully applied to a strategic context of difference games: if one player satisfies the Golden Rule, then either all other...

Tinbergen and Theil Meet Nash: Controllability in Policy Games
Bartolomeo, Giovanni Di; Acocella, Nicola - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2005
This paper generalizes the classical theory of economic policy to a static LQ-strategic context between n players. We show how this generalized version of controllability can profitably be used to deal with policy ineffectiveness issues and Nash equilibrium existence.
