Internalizing negative environmental impacts from wind power production : Coasian bargaining, offsetting schemes and environmental taxes
Greaker, Mads; Hagem, Cathrine; Skulstad, Andreas - 2022
On the one hand, wind power production is necessary for decarbonizing the electricity sector. On the other hand, we risk replacing one environmental problem with other environmental problems, that is, stopping climate change in exchange with increased loss of pristine land and biodiversity. The...

Gathering support for green tax reform : evidence from German household surveys
Ploeg, Frederick van der; Rezai, Armon; Tovar, Miguel - 2021
Green tax reform is unpopular because, typically, the poor are hurt most by the higher prices of carbon-intensive commodities. If revenues from a carbon tax are recycled, it may be feasible to gain popular support for green tax reform. To investigate this, we estimate an EASI demand system from...

Medema, Steven G. - 2018
Economists typically locate the origins of the theory of externalities in A.C. Pigou's The Economics of Welfare (1920, 1932), where Pigou suggested that activities which generate uncompensated benefits or costs—e.g., pollution, lighthouses, scientific research—represent instances of market...

Seeking Alpha : Excess Risk Taking and Competition for Managerial Talent
Acharya, Viral V. - 2016
We present a model where firms compete for scarce managerial talent ("alpha") and managers are risk-averse. When managers cannot move across firms after being hired, employers learn about their talent, allocate them efficiently to projects and provide insurance to low-quality managers. When...
