The impact of a carbon tax on manufacturing: evidence from microdata
Martin, Ralf; de Preux, Laure B.; Wagner, Ulrich J. - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2014

Industry compensation under relocation risk: a firm-level analysis of the EU emissions trading scheme
Martin, Ralf; Muuls, Mirabelle; de Preux, Laure B.; … - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2014

The impact of ‘clean innovation’ on economic growth: evidence from the transport and energy industries
Martin, Ralf; Vaitilingam, Romesh - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2014

Decentralization schemes, cost-benefit-analysis, and net national product as a measure of social well-being
Dasgupta, Partha; Maler, Karl-Goran - London School of Economics (LSE) - 1998
This paper is about net national product (NNP). We are concerned with what NNP means, what it should include, what it offers us and, therefore, why we may be interested in it. We show that NNP, properly defined, can be used as a gauge for project evaluation, but we also show that it should not...
