Carbon taxation when climate affects productivity
Based on a numerical model where climate change affects productivity, the second-best optimal carbon tax is found to exceed marginal social damage by 53 percent, and " marginal private damage " (aggregate households' marginal willingness to pay) by 73 percent. Annual welfare gains from carbon taxation are estimated at $3.58 billion when marginal damage is $40 per ton; employment also increases....
متن کاملHow IEQ Affects Health, Productivity
his article, a summary of Fisk,1,2 estimates the nationwide improvements in health and productivity potentially attainable by providing better indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in U.S. buildings.

متن کاملA productivity analysis considering environmental pollution and diseases in China
Environmental pollution and human health problems are becoming serious issues in China. This research focuses on regional differences in productive inefficiencies and attempts to clarify the determinants of inefficiency, accounting economic, environmental and health-related factors. Our dataset includes information of 29 areas in China from 2003 to 2009. We find that after accounting for enviro...
متن کاملEmission Tax or Standard? The Role of Productivity Dispersion
We use a general equilibrium model to address the question whether a regulatory emission standard or an emission tax yields higher societal welfare for any given target on aggregate emission. The key feature of the model is that the plants are heterogeneous in productivity and monopolistically competitive in the production of dirty-goods whose by-product is emission. We nd that the standard yi...
متن کاملEnvironmental pollution affects genetic diversity in wild bird populations.
Many common environmental pollutants, together with nuclear radiation, are recognized as genotoxic. There is, however, very little information on pollution-related genetic effects on free-living animal populations, especially in terrestrial ecosystems. We investigated whether genetic diversity in two small insectivorous passerines, the great tit (Parus major) and the pied flycatcher (Ficedula h...
