This book was released on 2016 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of three essays related to my research on environmental policy, emissions leakage, and public policy. In the first essay, I address how open economies respond to environmental policy instruments under uncertainty. I develop a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model for a small open economy (SOE) and evaluate the macroeconomic fluctuations in response to cap-and-trade, pollution tax, and emissions intensity standard under two shocks: productivity and terms of trade. My findings suggest that cap-and-trade policies are most effective in dampening macroeconomic volatility from productivity shock. However, under the terms of trade shock, pollution tax, and intensity target policies are as effective as the cap-and-trade policies in reducing the macroeconomic volatility of consumption and employment. The second essay addresses the effects of a general fall in service trade costs on emissions leakage. I develop a two-good (manufacturing and services) general equilibrium model of a SOE to evaluate emissions leakage from an emissions tax increase. Under free trade in manufacturing and no trade in services, no leakage occurs. Allowing for trade in services, a positive leakage is driven by income, output, and terms-of-trade effects. Calibrating the model to the Canadian macroeconomic data, I find that the emissions leakage is about 18 % lower when using trade friction levels estimated from the literature rather than assuming no trade frictions in services. In the third essay, using a data panel for American states from 1987 to 2010, I evaluate the effects of rainy day funds (RDFs) on state gross domestic product (GDP). RDFs are intended to smooth taxes and spending to alleviate fiscal stress during recessions.While RDFs are not intended to affect the business cycle, they may do so through fund accumulation during periods of economic expansion and through fund disbursement during periods of economic contraction. Using an Arellano-Bond estimator, I find that the RDFs average output multiplier is about l.5. The multiplier during recessionary periods is about 3.4 and during election years is as big as in recessionary periods.

This book was released on 2000-10-27 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses the magnitude of the effects of trade liberalisation on welfare and the environment in the context of a small open economy, and the degree to which these effects are influenced by environmental policy. It is expected that the results of this study will provide some direction for trade and environmental policies, and will help to fill part of the empirical vacuum in this field. These results will be widely applicable to open-market-based economies and to countries embarking on major liberalisation programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the demand for environmental quality is increasing and as the current GATT rules monitored by the WTO are not very suitable for environmental protection, either a new international environmental organization may be formed soon or new environmental regulations may be added to GATT. In either case, understanding of the interactions between trade and the environment will be vital. Trade and the Environment presents both the theoretical and empirical exposition of (i) the impact of trade liberalization on environmental quality; (ii) the impact of environmental regulations on international competitiveness; and (iii) strategic trade and environmental policies. An important feature of Trade and the Environment as compared to earlier books is that it brings together the reciprocal interactions between trade and the environment. It can be used as the main or complementary textbook for a course on trade and the environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowhere has the divide between advocates and critics of globalization been more striking than in debates over free trade and the environment. And yet the literature on the subject is high on rhetoric and low on results. This book is the first to systematically investigate the subject using both economic theory and empirical analysis. Brian Copeland and Scott Taylor establish a powerful theoretical framework for examining the impact of international trade on local pollution levels, and use it to offer a uniquely integrated treatment of the links between economic growth, liberalized trade, and the environment. The results will surprise many. The authors set out the two leading theories linking international trade to environmental outcomes, develop the empirical implications, and examine their validity using data on measured sulfur dioxide concentrations from over 100 cities worldwide during the period from 1971 to 1986. The empirical results are provocative. For an average country in the sample, free trade is good for the environment. There is little evidence that developing countries will specialize in pollution-intensive products with further trade. In fact, the results suggest just the opposite: free trade will shift pollution-intensive goods production from poor countries with lax regulation to rich countries with tight regulation, thereby lowering world pollution. The results also suggest that pollution declines amid economic growth fueled by economy-wide technological progress but rises when growth is fueled by capital accumulation alone. Lucidly argued and authoritatively written, this book will provide students and researchers of international trade and environmental economics a more reliable way of thinking about this contentious issue, and the methodological tools with which to do so.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research projects at Fondazione Mattei have for some time now been dealing with the international dimension of environmental policy. Indeed, most environ mental phenomena have international implications, which stem from a number of factors: physical ones, such as the transnational or global consequences of pollution and resource conservation; technological factors, such as technological cooperation and diffusion; and economic factors, such as trad~, plant localiza tion and migrations. Even in the absence of transnational pollution, therefore, the environmental issues involve substantial interdependence among countries. This volume, edited by Carlo Carraro, presents some of the research which we carried out in international environmental policy, focusing on the relationship between trade, innovation and the environment. The papers in part one discuss the impact of international trade and institu tions on environmental resources. Those in part two deal with the importance of innovation when attempting to solve the major environmental problems. The papers in part three, finally, focus on specific policy issues stressing the impor tance of institutions and property rights. The whole set of contributions can be seen as progress in environmental economics. The different chapters highlight the close relationship between envi ronmental issues and economic development and they merge the literature on the environment with the literature on innovation, economic growth, trade, plant localization, institutions, etc.

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.
