Environmental taxes and quotas in the presence of distorting taxes in factor markets

Article Abstract:

Environmental policies tend to enhance the welfare cost of tax distortions in the labor market by increasing the prices of consumption commodities such as coal, gasoline and pesticides. This was concluded after the effect of environmental quotas to pre-existing tax distortions has been determined using a single-period model. The empirical results further proved that using environmental quotas to reduce labor taxes undermines the revenue-generating effect of environmental taxes.

Environmental policy choice: pollution abatement subsidies

Article Abstract:

A model created by Bernheim and Winston (1986) and Grossman and Helpman (1994) was employed to assess existing pollution control subsidies. The model considered a situation wherein government environmental policy was leveraged by environmental groups through campaign contributions. Current abatement policies are shown to be inadequate since pollution taxes negatively affect industry profits and lead to diminished support for government policy.

Coasean bargaining with symmetric delay costs

Article Abstract:

Research was conducted to examine the concept of delay costs in Coasean bargaining. The study specifically focused on how six different specifications of symmetric discrete and continuous delay costs influence bargaining efficiency and wealth distribution. Results indicate that efficiency was relatively robust to discrete and increasing marginal delay costs. However, it declined substantially with nonincreasing marginal delay costs.
