The Paris Agreement's very ambitious mitigation goals, notably to 'pursue efforts' limit warming 1.5°C, imply that climate policy will remain a national affair for some time. One key obstacle is makers perceive this be in competition with major goals of fiscal policy, such as public investment or debt reduction. However, may actually contribute these other objectives. Importantly, many implications substantial carbon prices, which are essential stringent targets the 1.5°C goal, have long...
A model for traffic flow in street networks or material flows supply is presented, that takes into account the conservation of cars materials and other significant features such as jam formation, spillovers, load-dependent transportation times. Furthermore, conflicts coordination problems intersecting merging are considered well. Making assumptions regarding permeability intersection a function conflicting queue lengths, we find self-organized oscillations similar to operation lights.
Imperfect altruism between generations may lead to insufficient capital accumulation. We study the welfare consequences of taxing rent on a fixed production factor, such as land, in combination with age-dependent redistributions remedy. Taxing enhances by increasing investment. This holds for any tax rate and recycling revenues except combinations high taxes strongly redistributive recycling. prove that specific forms land --- transfer directed at fundless newborns or subsidy allow...
A model describing the electrooxidation of H2−CO mixtures on rotating Pt electrodes is presented together with a bifurcation analysis for main experimental parameters. We discuss dynamic instabilities partly caused by chemical autocatalysis stemming from CO subsystem and an electrical electrode potential as essential positive feedback variable. Hence, system contains two different pairs activator−inhibitor loops. Depending parameters, one interaction schemes dominant, we find either...
Financing productive public capital through distortionary taxes typically creates a trade-off: the optimal investment is determined as compromise between efficiency-enhancing and perturbing market efficiency, but never socially optimal. In contrast, such trade-off can often be avoided if financed by taxing rents of fixed production factor, land. Here, we provide macroeconomic version Henry George Theorem. Specifically, prove that level stock reached land rent tax, provided more important...
Storage devices and demand control may constitute beneficial tools to optimize electricity generation with a large share of intermittent resources through inter-temporal substitution load. We quantify the related cost reductions in simulation model simplified stylized medium-voltage grid (10kV) under uncertain wind output. Benders Decomposition Method is applied create two-stage stochastic program. The informs an optimal investment sizing decision as regards specific 'smart grid'...
By taxing rents, governments can avoid a trade-off between productivityenhancing public investment and efficiency losses from raising funds.However, it is unclear whether the rents present in growing economy are sufficient to finance its socially optimal level.We prove that social optimum be attained if income share fixed factor, such as land, exceeds requirement.We thus translate Henry George Theorem urban economics neoclassical endogenous growth settings: here, land rent tax rate below 100...
Imperfect altruism between generations may lead to insufficient capital accumulation. We study the welfare consequences of taxing rent on a fixed production factor, such as land, in this setting. prove that is welfare-enhancing it increases investment. This holds for any tax level and recycling revenues except combinations high taxes strongly redistributive recycling. Specific forms redistribution land – subsidy or transfer directed at fundless newborns allow reproduce social optimum under...
Carbon pricing regulates emission flows and collects rents from underlying fossil resource stocks. The resulting investment shift implies lower climate policy costs improved welfare if capital is underaccumulated. We prove that under trading, such a beneficial macroeconomic portfolio effect between stocks induced some permits are auctioned. Alternatively, carbon tax also induces effect, but cannot simultaneously implement given mitigation path collect an arbitrary rent share. Finally,...
Abstract Climate policies, including removing fossil fuel subsidies or imposing carbon prices, can be designed in a way that is both efficient addressing climate change and results fair distribution of the associated costs.
Climate change economics mostly neglects sizeable interactions of carbon pricing with other fiscal policy instruments. Conversely, public finance typically overlooks the effects future decarbonization efforts when devising instruments for major goals policy. We argue that such a compartmentalisation is undesirable: design taking into account interdependencies may enhance welfare and distribution mitigation costs within across generations. This claim substantiated by analyzing six between...
Der Beitrag prüft Argumente dafür, dass weiteres Wirtschaftswachstum mit Klimaschutz nicht zu vereinbaren und angesichts negativer gesellschaftlicher Auswirkungen erstrebenswert sei. Von einer gegenwärtig inadäquaten Regulierung kann jedoch auf die Unmöglichkeit adäquaten in der Zukunft geschlossen werden. Selbst wenn gegenwärtiges Wachstum förderlich für manche gesellschaftlichen Ziele ist, folgt nicht, man diese durch weniger besser erreicht.
