An Economic Analysis of Mixing Wastes
Aalbers, Rob F.; Vollebergh, Herman R. J. - 2005
Using a general equilibrium model with heterogeneous waste, this paper studies optimal waste policy when households have to exert separation effort to produce near-homogeneous waste streams suitable for recycling. Our model explicitly allows for changes in the composition (quality) of waste...

Sharing the cost of cleaning up a polluted river
Li, Wenzhong; Xu, Genjiu; van den Brink, Rene - 2021
Consider a group of agents located along a polluted river where every agent must pay a certain cost for cleaning up the polluted river. Following the model of Ni and Wang (2007), we propose the class of alpha-Local Responsibility Sharing methods, which generalizes the Local Responsibility...

The Pollution Effects of Mergers and Acquisitions: Asymmetry, Disaggregation, and Multilateralism
Swart, Julia; van Marrewijk, Charles - 2011
This paper studies the impact of cross-border Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As) on Carbon Dioxide emissions. Carbon Dioxide is the main anthropogenic greenhouse gas. A global problem that requires a multilateral solution. To take this into account we introduce an institutional variable, which...

Competing Recombinant Technologies for Environmental Innovation
Zeppini, Paolo; van den Bergh, Jeroen C.J.M. - 2010
This article presents a model of sequential decisions about investments in environmentally dirty and clean technologies, which extends the path-dependence framework of Arthur (1989). This allows us to evaluate if and how an economy locked into a dirty technology can be unlocked and move towards...

Unanimity bargaining determines the water allocation and monetary transfers. We translate International Water Law … rationing solution. In both cases the optimization problem is separable into two subproblems: the efficient water allocation …

Should Pollution Taxes Be Targeted at Income Redistribution?
Jacobs, Bas - 2017
This paper analyses optimal corrective taxation and optimal income redistribution. Under general utility functions, the Pigouvian pollution tax is higher if pollution damages disproportionally hurt the poor due to equity weighting of pollution damages. Moreover, optimal pollution taxes should be...
