Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dissertation examines several theoretic and empirical issues in resource and environmental economics. Chapter One of this dissertation discusses a dynamic trade problems of a resource-scarce and capital-short open economy. In this economy, exhaustible resources are traded for foreing capital. Different from previous researches on the similar topics, we allow for endogenous export renevue. The optimal trade behavior of the economy is discussed here. The efficiency conditions for the optimal trading under different assumptions are derived. Those conditions are corresponding the famous Hotelling rules in a closed economy. Finally, the policy implications of the results are indicated. Chapter Two analyses the properties of cumulative public good or externality. The public good represents some major concerns in environmental economics, such as "greenhouse" effect and ozone layer depletion. I set up a theoretic model of cumulative public good which reflects the dynamics process like global warming. I show that when the time discount factor of agents in the model goes to one, the paths of Pareto optimal allocations and competitive equilibria converge. Further more, under certain conditions, when the time discount factor of agents goes to one, any gains by a unilateral deviation from the efficient path by an agent becomes arbitrarily small. Namely, a Pareto optimal allocation can be supported by an e-Nash equilibrium, where e goes to zero when the time discount factor of agents goes to one. I also discuss the policy implications of the above properties. Chapter Three balyses the free-riding behavior in the international cooperation in dealing with global warming issues within the framework of a general equilibrium model of economic growth and global warming developed by W.D. Nordhaus (1992). I test the theoretic properties of cumulative public good proved in Chapter Two here. The testing results show that the severeness of free-riding behavior is decreasing when the time discount factor of the nations goes to one. Based on the above results, I suggest an incentive compatible policy package, with punitive taxation and environmental bonds as the components, supporting the international cooperation in controlling the emissions of global warming gases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Dales pointed out that traditional economic and legal solutions to pollution and resource problems were never going to be satisfactory and that a "third way" was needed. Today, all environmental economists of my generation recognise the debt we owe to Dales's work, as one of the intellectual foundations for emissions trading that began in California in the 1970s and now extends across the world. It is a work of immense influence which deserves reprinting.' - David Pearce, University College London, UK In this classic book, originally published in 1968 by University of Toronto Press, John Dales proposed a new policy instrument for tackling pollution problems, namely 'markets in pollution rights'. Dales was one of the first economists to put forward such a solution, and in subsequent years a system of emissions trading has evolved which is now a centrepiece in international discussions of how to address the problem of global climate change.

This book was released on 2008-07-25 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, the public attention has turned toward the intricate interrelation between economic growth and global warming. This book focuses on this nexus but broadens the framework to study the issue. Growth is seen as global growth, which affects the global environment and climate change. Global growth, in particular high economic growth rates, imply a fast depletion of renewable and non-renewable resources. Thus this book deals with the impact of the environment and the effect of the exhaustive use of natural resources on economic growth and welfare of market economies as well as the reverse linkage. It is arranged in three parts: Part I of the book discusses the environment and growth. There, Greiner and Semmler incorporate the role of environmental pollution into modern endogenous growth models and use recently developed dynamic methods and techniques to derive appropriate abatement activities that policymakers can institute. Part II looks at global climate change using these same growth models. Here, too, the authors provide direct and transparent policy implications. More specifically, the authors favour tax measures, such as a carbon tax, over emission trading as instruments of mitigation policies. Part III evaluates the use and overuse of renewable and non-renewable resources in the context of a variety of dynamic models. They, in particular, consider the cases when resources interact as an ecological system and analyze issues of ownership of resources as well as policy measures to avoid the overuse of resources. In addition, not only intertemporal resource allocation but also the eminent issues relating to intertemporal inequities, as well as policy measures to overcome them, are discussed in each part of the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cette thèse est composée de trois chapitres qui traitent de la problématique de la régulation optimale des émissions de carbone pour atténuer le changement climatique. Dans le premier chapitre, nous analysons les interactions stratégiques entre un cartel, exportant une ressource non renouvelable génératrice de pollution, et deux pays importateurs hétérogènes qui souhaitent atténuer les dommages dus à la pollution. Les pays importateurs différent selon leur demande de la ressource et selon leur degré d'exposition au stock (mondial) de pollution. Les pays importateurs fixent de manière non coopérative des taxes carbone sur la consommation de la ressource polluante et le cartel exportateur fixe son prix à la production. En utilisant équilibre de Nash en boucle ouverte, nous obtenons des solutions explicites des trajectoires temporelles des taxes carbone, du prix au producteur et du stock de pollution. Nous montrons que lorsque les pays importateurs agissent de manière non coopérative, à un temps fini, le prix à la production bondit et le pays importateur le plus touché par la pollution cesse de demander la ressource. Nos résultats numériques basés sur la caractérisation explicite de l'équilibre non coopératif montrent qu'une plus grande symétrie par rapport aux coûts de la pollution conduit à une augmentation plus rapide du stock de pollution en début d'horizon temporel, mais à un stock de pollution de long terme plus faible et un bien-être total plus élevé. Dans le deuxième chapitre, Nous analysons les effets des ajustements carbone bilatéraux aux frontières sur les taxes carbone dans un jeu non coopératif entre deux pays symétriques ouverts ayant des firmes en concurrence imparfaite en présence de pollution transfrontalière. Nous comparons également dans ce chapitre les résultats de ce jeu avec ceux de deux benchmarks (soient, le jeu non coopératif sans ajustements carbone aux frontières et la solution efficace). Nous constatons que lorsque les pays souffrent peu de la pollution, seuls des équilibres symétriques existent. En revanche, si les pays souffrent suffisamment de la pollution, seuls des équilibres asymétriques existent. Les taxes sur le carbone en équilibres symétriques sont plus élevées que les taxes efficaces, tandis que l'inverse est vrai pour les équilibres asymétriques. Dans tous les cas d'intérêt, le bien-être total à l'équilibre du jeu non coopératif avec ajustements carbone aux frontières est supérieur à celui du jeu non coopératif sans ajustements carbone aux frontières. Lorsque les coûts de la pollution sont suffisamment bas, il existe un niveau d'ajustement carbone aux frontières tel que les taxes d'équilibre non coopératif sont efficaces. Enfin, dans le cas où les pays souffrent suffisamment de la pollution, le niveau optimal d'ajustement carbone aux frontières peut être partiel ou total selon les paramètres du modèle. Nous étudions enfin, dans le dernier chapitre, un jeu de pollution frontalière non coopératif entre respectivement deux pays et trois pays fixant des taxes carbone en présence d'ajustements carbone aux frontières et avec présence d'une concurrence imparfaite sur le marché international des biens polluants. Les pays sont asymétriques quant à leur volonté de payer pour la réduction des émissions mondiales de carbone. Dans nos modèles, seul le pays le plus touché impose un ajustement carbone aux frontières. Nous montrons que, contrairement à la littérature existante utilisant des modèles à deux pays avec un seul marché, le pays le plus touché préfère très généralement utiliser un ajustement carbone total aux frontières (c'est-à -dire un tarif qui ajuste exactement les écarts entre sa propre taxe carbone et celles des autres pays) à un ajustement carbone partiel aux frontières. De plus, un ajustement carbone total aux frontières est optimal pour le bien-être global dans la plupart des cas d'intérêt.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most serious environmental problems of the twenty-first century have the potential to alter the course of life on this planet. Global warming, toxic waste, water and air pollution, acid rain, and shrinking energy supplies are frightening challenges that may threaten our future if we do not face up to them.p Global Environmental Challenges provides important information and gives us hope about the environment. This book first helps us to grasp these difficulties, then shows us the choices we can make. How long to leave a light on, whether to take the car, the train, or bicycle to work, whether to recycle or throw away, whether to vote to curb continued suburban sprawl-all of these decisions can make a difference.p This collection of some of the best essays and articles on the environment comes from a variety of sources, including journals, magazines, websites of ecological/conservation organizations, and other publications.p Five major sections investigate the interaction of population growth,consumption, and environment; the emerging crisis in freshwater around the globe; global climate and atmosphere (including global warming); biodiversity loss; and the concept of sustainable development-using natural resources to place future human development on a sustainable path. The final section on sustainable development reveals how we can take action. As individuals, we can make a difference readily and easily without making huge personal sacrifices. As societies, we can work together in a global community of interest to sustain the earth.p This valuable resource offers readers a better understanding of our environmental problems and presents solutions to improving the health of theplanet.p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of three applied essays on environmental and resource economics. The essays study consumer and local government responses to exogenous shocks: randomized environmental messages, variation in international mineral prices and a widely publicized food-borne disease outbreak. In particular, this dissertation focuses in three broad areas: (i) investigating whether environmental messages can increase energy efficient technology adoption by poor populations and understanding the characteristics of the individuals who respond to these messages, (ii) testing whether increases in municipal income translate into additional environmental investments and policies in developing countries and, (iii) studying the role of food borne disease outbreaks on consumer purchases and preferences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last human generation we have learned that life existed on our earth for more than three billion years, yet man has done more to change the earth and its ability to support life in the last few centuries than preceding life forms have over hundreds of millions of years. And nearly all of these changes were brought about as unforeseen or unconsidered side-effects of our technologies.The editors of this book feel that rather than accepting environmental degradation as the wages of progress, today we are seeing "a more widely accepted idea that concern for the environment is simply good economics and planning."In a series of essays written by environmental, economic, and social scientists from around the world, Changing the Global Environment looks at the ecological problems facing us as we move into the next century and examines possible solutions suggested by such new techniques as remote sensing and the implementation of worldwide computer-based data systems.
