Think Globally, Act Globally : Opportunities to Mitigate Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Low- and Middle-Income Countries

Glennerster, Rachel; Jayachandran, Seema - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

Reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are a global public good, which makes it efficient to act globally when addressing this challenge. We lay out several reasons that high-income countries seeking to mitigate climate change might have greater impact if they invest their resources in...

Does Unilateral Decarbonization Pay For Itself?

Bilal, Adrien; Känzig, Diego R. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2025

This paper shows that unilateral decarbonization pays for itself in large economies. We estimate economic damages from global temperature shocks and combine them with a climate-economy model to construct Domestic Costs of Carbon: $226 per ton for the United States and $216 per ton for the...

Uncharted Waters : Effects of Maritime Emission Regulation

Hansen-Lewis, Jamie; Marcus, Michelle M. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

Maritime shipping emits as much fine particulate matter as half of global road traffic. We are the first to measure the consequences of US maritime emissions standards on air quality, human health, racial exposure disparities, and behavior. The introduction of US maritime emissions control areas...

On the Geographic Implications of Carbon Taxes

Conte, Bruno; Desmet, Klaus; Rossi-Hansberg, Esteban - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

A unilateral carbon tax trades off the distortionary costs of taxation and the future gains from slowing down global warming. Because the cost is local and immediate, whereas the benefit is global and delayed, this tradeoff tends to be unfavorable to unilateral carbon taxes. We show that this...

The Macroeconomic Impact of Climate Change : Global vs. Local Temperature

Bilal, Adrien; Känzig, Diego R. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

This paper estimates that the macroeconomic damages from climate change are six times larger than previously thought. We exploit natural variability in global temperature and rely on time-series variation. A 1°C increase in global temperature leads to a 12% decline in world GDP. Global...

Voluntary Emission Restraints in Developing Economies : The Role of Trade Policy

Caliendo, Lorenzo; Dolabella, Marcelo; Moreira, … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

We study the role of trade policy in one of the most pressing climate policy challenges that developing countries face: meeting voluntary emission restraints (VERs). To do so, we develop a general equilibrium trade model that extends Caliendo and Parro (2015) in three dimensions. First, we model...

The Use of Group-Level Approaches to Environmental and Natural Resource Policy

Kotchen, Matthew J. - 2020

Policies to address environmental and natural resource management are often implemented at the group level. The defining feature of such policies is that penalties or rewards are based on group rather than individual performance, or rights are allocated to a group rather than to individuals....
