1. An Economic Analysis of Earth Orbit Pollution

Author:
Adilov, Nodir; Alexander, Peter J.; Cunningham, Brendan M.
Source:
Environmental and resource economics 2015 v.60 no.1 pp. 81-98
ISSN:
0924-6460
Subject:
economic analysis; issues and policy; models; pollution; probability; remediation; satellites; taxes
Abstract:
... Space debris, an externality generated by expended launch vehicles and damaged satellites, reduces the expected value of space activities by increasing the probability of damaging existing satellites or other space vehicles. Unlike terrestrial pollution, debris created in the production process interacts with firms’ final products, and is, moreover, self-propagating: collisions between debris or e ...

2. Climate Policy with Technology Transfers and Permit Trading

Author:
Helm, Carsten; Pichler, Stefan
Source:
Environmental and resource economics 2015 v.60 no.1 pp. 37-54
ISSN:
0924-6460
Subject:
simulation models; prices; subsidies; emissions; issues and policy; climate
Abstract:
... In this paper, we analyze technology transfers (TT) and tradable emission rights, which are core issues of the ongoing climate negotiations. Subsidizing TT leads to the adoption of better abatement technologies in the South, thereby reducing the international permit price. This is beneficial for the North as long as it is a permit buyer; hence it chooses to subsidize TT. By contrast, the permit se ...

3. Emissions Taxes and Abatement Regulation Under Uncertainty

Author:
Christiansen, Vidar; Smith, Stephen
Source:
Environmental and resource economics 2015 v.60 no.1 pp. 17-35
ISSN:
0924-6460
Subject:
emissions; issues and policy; taxes; uncertainty
Abstract:
... We consider environmental regulation in a context where firms invest in abatement technology under conditions of uncertainty about subsequent abatement cost, but can subsequently adjust output in the light of true marginal abatement cost. Where an emissions tax is the only available instrument, policy faces a trade-off between the incentive to invest in abatement technology and efficiency in subse ...

4. Evaluating Change in Objective Ambiguous Mortality Probability: Valuing Reduction in Ambiguity Size and Risk Level

Author:
Watanabe, Masahide; Fujimi, Toshio
Source:
Environmental and resource economics 2015 v.60 no.1 pp. 1-15
ISSN:
0924-6460
Subject:
accidents; issues and policy; models; mortality; risk; wildlife
Abstract:
... This article develops a valuation model to evaluate mortality probability changes under objective ambiguity, where multiple mortality probabilities are exogenously given. We construct the valuation model based on α-maxmin expected utility to evaluate the reduction in ambiguity size and risk level as well as estimate the subjects’ ambiguity attitude. Our model can bring an interesting policy implic ...
