Alternative designs for tariffs on embodied carbon. A global cost-effectiveness analysis
(Discussion Papers;682, Working paper, 2012)In the absence of effective world-wide cooperation to curb global warming, import tariffs on embodied carbon have been proposed as a potential supplement to unilateral emissions pricing. We systematically consider alternative ... -
Combining CGE and microsimulation models: Effects on equality of VAT reforms
(Discussion Papers;No. 392, Working paper, 2004)Abstract: The effects on the degree of equality of reforms in indirect taxation are analysed by using a microsimulation model of the Norwegian economy subsequent to a CGE model. The two main reforms studied are substitution ... -
Compensated variation in random utility models
(Discussion Papers;No. 299, Working paper, 2001)Abstract: In this paper we introduce the notion of random expenditure function and derive the distribution of the expenditure function and corresponding compensated choice probabilities in the general case when the ... -
Cost-benefit analysis and the democratic ideal
(Discussion Papers;No. 205, Working paper, 1997)In traditional cost-benefit analyses of public projects, every citizen’s willingness to pay for a project is given an equal weight. This is sometimes taken to imply that cost-benefit analysis is a democratic method for ... -
Cost-effective unilateral climate policy design: Size Matters
(Discussion Papers;No. 664, Working paper, 2011)Abstract: Given the bleak prospects for a global agreement on mitigating climate change, pressure for unilateral abatement is increasing. A major challenge is emissions leakage. Border carbon adjustments and output-based ... -
The Global Effects of Subglobal Climate Policies
(Discussion Papers;634, Working paper, 2010)Individual countries are in the process of legislating responses to the challenges posed by climate change. The prospect of rising carbon prices raises concerns in these nations about the effects on the competitiveness of ... -
Green serves the dirtiest : on the interaction between black and green quatas
(Discussion Papers;581, Working paper, 2009)Tradable black (CO2) and green (renewables) quotas gain in popularity and stringency within climate policies of many OECD countries. The overlapping regulation through both instruments, however, may have important adverse ... -
On the value of households' recycling efforts
(Discussion Papers;No. 316, Working paper, 2002)Abstract: Do households' recycling efforts represent a social cost, which should be taken into account in cost-benefit analyses of alternative waste treatment systems? Some argue that it should not, since recycling efforts ... -
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 ... -
Price and welfare effects of emission quota allocation
(Discussion Papers;No. 661, Working paper, 2011)Abstract: We analyze how different ways of allocating emission quotas may influence the electricity market. Using a large-scale numerical model of the Western European energy market, we show that different allocation ... -
Project evaluations and decision processes

Smart hedging against carbon leakage
(Discussion papers;920, Working paper, 2019-11)Policy makers in the EU and elsewhere are concerned that unilateral carbon pricing induces carbon leakage through relocation of emission-intensive and trade-exposed industries to other regions. A common measure to mitigate ... -

The Assumption of equal marginal utility of income : how much does it matter?
(Discussion Papers;No. 241, Working paper, 1998)In most applied cost-benefit analyses, individual willingness to pay is aggregated without using explicit welfare weights. This can be justified by postulating a utilitarian social welfare function, along with the assumption ... -
The political man and contingent valuation : motives do count
(Discussion Papers;No. 180, Working paper, 1996)In addition to his role as a consumer pursuing his own interests, an individual may also regard himself as an ethical observer, judging matters from society's point of view. It is not clear which of these possibly conflicting ... -
Welfare effects of trade liberalisation in distorted economies : a dynamic general equilibrium assessment for Norway
(Discussion Papers;No. 251, Working paper, 1999)A disaggregated intertemporal CGE model is used to simulate the welfare effects in Norway of the recently implemented trade reforms including the WTO agreement, the EEA treaty, the EFTA fishery agreement and an anticipated ... -
