Abstract:
... Industrial green development (IGD) is a critical response to the over-consumption of natural resources and pollution caused by modern industry. Innovation-driven IGD has generated great interest in recent years. However, relatively less attention has been paid to the various aspects of IGD and the moderating role of regional factors, including the developmental stage of IGD, government-scale, and ...

Abstract:
... The paper examines the issue of international pollution control under a dynamic framework involving heterogeneous countries and a critical threshold. We propose an appealing specification for this type of problem, and its novelty is illustrated by the fact that countries use linear strategies in equilibrium, although their utility and damage functions are highly convex. The stock of pollution unde ...

Abstract:
... We analyze equilibrium emission taxes under international Cournot duopoly in the presence of asymmetric information between firms. When each firm does not know the production cost of its rival located in the other country, the government of each country can use its emission tax as a signal of the competitiveness of its domestic firm. We show that, owing to this signaling effect, the equilibrium em ...
