Output-based rebating of carbon taxes in the neighbor’s backyard. Competitiveness, leakage and welfare
(Discussion papers;783, Working paper, 2014-06)We investigate how carbon taxes combined with output-based rebating (OBR) in an open economy perform in interaction with the carbon policies of a large neighboring trading partner. Analytical results suggest that whether ... -
Pareto-efficient climate agreements
