Emission permit banking, pollution abatement and productionヨinventory control of the firm
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we present a dynamic model modified with emission permit banking and pollution abatement, and investigate the effect of emission permit banking and pollution abatement on the production–inventory strategy of the firm. After introducing emission permit banking and pollution abatement, the cost function consists of the inventory holding and production costs, the cost of investment in abatement capital goods and the emission procurement/selling cost. Furthermore, the inventory holding costs are linear, production costs are non-decreasing and convex functions of the production level, and the costs of investment in abatement capital goods are increasing and convex functions of the investment level. We compare the optimal production–inventory strategy before emission permit banking and pollution abatement and thereafter. The mathematical investigation is based on the Arrow–Karlin model. & 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Market Power in Tradable Emission Markets: A Laboratory Testbed for Emission Trading in Port Phillip Bay, Victoria
In theory, competitive emission permit markets minimise total abatement cost for any emission ceiling. Permit markets are often imperfectly competitive, however, if they are thin and dominated by large firms. The dominant firm(s) could exercise market power and increase other firms’ costs of pollution control, while reducing their own emission control costs. This paper reports a testbed laborat...
متن کاملThe Choice of Policy Instruments to Control Pollution under Costly Enforcement and Incomplete Information
We analyze the cost of enforcing a system of firm specific emissions standards vis a vis a transferable emissions permit system in the context of complete and incomplete information. We also examine the optimality of a transferable emissions permit system when abatement costs and enforcement costs are considered. We show that under incomplete information, regulation based on each firm-specific ...

The South Pars zone in Iran encompasses the largest gas refineries and petrochemical complexes in the world. In the South Pars zone, elevated concentrations of reactive hydrocarbons co-emitted with nitrogen oxides from industrial facilities lead to substantial ozone production downwind. To understand the role of these emissions on the ozone formation and, to formulate appropriate control st...

When the US federal government first began regulating major sources of air pollution in the 1960s, the conventional approach to meeting air quality standards involved establishing maximum emissions rates or technology based standards for regulated stationary sources.
