Dahlberg och Forslunds (1999, 2000) studie av undanträngningseffekter fokuserar på resultat från det andra steget i den GMM-metod som utvecklats av Arellano och Bond (1991). Tidigare Monte Carlo simuleringar samt simuleringen för det aktuella datamaterialet visar dock att de skattade...

Over the last decades, waste quantities have grown steadily in close relation to economic growth. To tackle the problem of continuing waste growth within the EU, waste prevention was listed among four top priorities in the EU Sixth environment Action Programme. A Computable General Equilibrium...

In this paper we evaluate how the environmental and health risks posed by a contaminated site affected the probability that it would receive funding for remedial action under a Swedish subsidization scheme, the Local Investment Programme (LIP). The LIP, effective between 1998 and 2002, had a...

A cost-effective policy instrument to attain the Swedish carbon emission target, suggested by the Government’s commission on flexible mechanisms of the Kyoto protocol, is the purchase of emission allowances within the EU trading scheme, instead of reducing domestic CO2 emissions at higher...

The interim targets of the Swedish environmental quality objective “A non-toxic environment” emphasize that remediation of contaminated sites should progress at a high speed. Since remediation is an expensive venture, it is valuable to gain knowledge about where in the remediation process...

By using an applied general equilibrium model of the Swedish economy, this paper examines how an in-troduction of a kilometre tax will affect economic growth (GDP), industry structure and emission levels of nitrogen oxides (NOx). According to our findings, the GDP will decrease by 0.1-0.3 per...

We estimate firms’ probability of technological adoption based on an unbalanced firm level panel data set from four major sectors during the 2000-2003 period. Technological adoption is measured by environ-mental protection investments (EPIs), and we focus particularly on differences between...

Konjunkturinstitutet (KI) producerar både kortfristiga prognoser för 2–3 år framåt i tiden och medelfristiga prognoser som sträcker sig ytterligare 5–10 år framåt i tiden. För att understödja sina prognoser och analyser har KI valt att arbeta med allmänjämviktsmodellen KIMOD. I...
