Agricultural trade, biodiversity effects and food price volatility

Bellora, Cecilia; Bourgeon, Jean-Marc - 2015

when agriculture becomes more specialized. We show in a Ricardian two-country trade setup that production specialization is …, governments face a trade-off: they are tempted to restrict pesticide use compared to under autarky because domestic consumption …

Optimal pest control in agriculture

Christiaans, Thomas (contributor); … - 2005

defined and characterized that depends on the farmer’s use of fertilizer and on the mice population which, in turn, is … farming is shown to depend on the prices of pesticide and grain. It is either optimal to use no pesticide or a moderate amount … of pesticide or to apply a chattering control. Pest eradication is never optimal. On the other hand, if the farmer takes …

Charging NOx emitters for health damages : an exploratory analysis

Mauzerall, Denise L.; Sultan, Babar; Kim, Namsoug; … - 2005

We present a proof-of-concept analysis of the measurement of the health damage of ozone (O3) produced from nitrogen oxides (NOx = NO + NO2) emitted by individual large point sources in the eastern United States. We use a regional atmospheric model of the eastern United States, the Comprehensive...

Regulating untaxable externalities : are vehicle air pollution standards effective and efficient?

Jacobsen, Mark R.; Sallee, James M.; Shapiro, Joseph S.; … - 2022

What is a feasible and efficient policy to regulate air pollution from vehicles? A Pigouvian tax is technologically infeasible. Most countries instead rely on exhaust standards that limit air pollution emissions per mile for new vehicles. We assess the effectiveness and efficiency of these...

Self-financing environmental mechanisms

Breitscheidel, Jörg (contributor); … - 2005

We explore the design of self-financing tax/subsidy mechanisms to solve hold-up problems in environmental regulation. Under Cournot competition, announcing the subsidy rate seems to be preferable to announcing the tax rate. Moreover, for constant marginal damage the hold-up problem can always be...

City size, pollution and emission policies

Pflüger, Michael - 2020

This paper develops a model with an endogenous number of cities to explore whether local governments establish the optimal city size when key activities in the city are associated with emissions that harm consumers. In contrast to extant research, our model is fully micro-founded with respect to...

Can revenue recycling kill green technology?

Holtsmark, Katinka - 2024

Carbon tax revenue recycling – returning tax revenue to firms or households that are covered by the carbon tax – can potentially increase political acceptance for carbon taxation and prevent undesirable distributional outcomes and off-shoring. This paper uses a stylized theoretical model to...

Morality-induced leakage and decentralized environmental policy

Eichner, Thomas; Runkel, Marco - 2025

Within a two-country model, this paper identifies a novel emission leakage channel that is caused by moral behavior of (atomistic) consumers. In a non-cooperative emission tax game between the countries, the leakage effect lowers the governments’ marginal benefit of emission taxation, so...
