Pollution Emissions, Environmental Policy, and Marginal Abatement Costs
Pollution emissions impose serious social negative externalities, especially in terms of public health. To reduce pollution emissions cost-effectively, the marginal abatement costs (MACs) of pollution emissions must be determined. Since the industrial sectors are the essential pillars of China's economic growth, as well as leading energy consumers and sulfur dioxide (SO₂) emitters, estimating M...
متن کاملMarginal Abatement Costs of Carbon-Dioxide Emissions: A Meta-Analysis
In this paper we carry out a meta-analysis of recent studies into the costs of greenhouse gas mitigation policies that aim at the long-term stabilization of these gases in the atmosphere. We find the cost estimates of the studies to be sensitive to the level of the stabilization target, the assumed emissions baseline, intertemporal optimisation, the choice of control variable (CO2 only versus m...
متن کاملTechnical change and pollution abatement costs
There is continuing interest in the trend of costs associated with pollution abatement activities. We specify an environmental production technology to model the joint production of good and bad outputs. The joint production model calculates pollution abatement costs and identifies changes in these costs associated with: (1) technical change, (2) input changes, and (3) changes in bad output pro...
متن کاملBiotechnology in Environmental Monitoring and Pollution Abatement
In recent years, the demand for the use of sustainable and eco-friendly environmental processes is rapidly growing subjected to economic, public, and legislation pressure. Biotechnology provides a plethora of opportunities for effectively addressing issues pertaining to the monitoring, assessment, modeling, and treatment of contaminated water, air, and solid waste streams. In this context, sour...
متن کاملEmissions Trading, Electricity Industry Restructuring, and Investment in Pollution Abatement
This paper investigates the relationship between economic regulation and rmsresponse to the incentives created by an emissions trading program. The NOx State Implementation Plan (SIP) Call Rule was designed to facilitate cost e¤ective reductions of nitrogen oxides emissions from large stationary sources (primarily electricity generators) in 19 eastern states. I estimate a discrete choice mode...
