Vertical fiscal externalities and the environment
Böhringer, Christoph; Rivers, Nicholas; Yonezawa, Hidemichi - 2014
We show that imposition of a state-level environmental tax in a federation crowds out preexisting federal taxes. We explain how this vertical fiscal externality can lead unilateral statelevel environmental policy to generate a welfare gain in the implementing state, at the expense of other...

Economic and environmental impacts of raising revenues for climate finance from public sources
Böhringer, Christoph; Schneider, Jan; Springmann, Marco - 2017
In response to anthropogenic climate change, developed countries have committed themselves to raise 100 billion USD a year from 2020 onwards for addressing the needs of developing countries. In this paper, we investigate the economic and CO2 emission impacts of four alternative options for...

US climate policy : a critical assessment of intensity standards
Böhringer, Christoph; Garcia-Muros, Xaquín; … - 2015
Intensity standards have gained substantial momentum as a regulatory instrument in US climate policy. Based on numerical simulations with a large-scale computable general equilibrium model we show that intensity standards may rather increase than decrease counterproductive carbon leakage....

The efficiency cost of protective measures in climate policy
Böhringer, Christoph; Garcia-Muros, Xaquin; Cazcarro, … - 2016
Despite recent achievements towards a global climate agreement, climate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions remains quite heterogeneous across countries. Energy-intensive and trade-exposed (EITE) industries in industrialized countries are particularly concerned on stringent domestic...

Efficiency, compensation, and discrimination : what is at stake when implementing the EU emissions trading scheme?
Böhringer, Christoph; Lange, Andreas - 2004
In 2005, an EU-wide emissions trading scheme covering major CO2 producing sites shall come into power. The key … objective of the trading scheme is to promote cost-efficiency of carbon reduction within the EU. We identify policy … EU emissions trading scheme through National Allocation Plans. …
