Prices Versus Quantities with Incomplete Enforcement
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 454
Book Description
I study whether incomplete enforcement of a regulation has any impact on the choice between price (e.g., taxes) and quantity (e.g., tradeable quotas) instruments. Results indicate that a second-best design accounting for incomplete enforcement can be implemented equally well with either instrument as long as the benefit and cost curves are known with certainty. If these curves are uncertain to the regulator, however, the quantity instrument performs relatively better than the price instrument. The reason is the effective amount of control under the quantity instrument is no longer fixed, which makes this instrument come closer to a non-linear instrument.

Implementing Adaptation Strategies by Legal, Economic and Planning Instruments on Climate Change
Author: Eike Albrecht
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3540776141
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
The causes and effects of climate change are just as varied as the proposed solutions and approaches for dealing with the problem. Given the global character of climate change, comprehensive global cooperation is called for that leads to effective and appropriate international action in accordance with the respective responsibilities. These will inevitably differ depending on the capabilities and the social and economic situations of the respective actors. The contributions in this book present a variety of ideas, approaches and tools regarding the adaptation to climate change in specific countries and regions. In addition to examining (existing) legal instruments, they also focus on the implementation of economic instruments and planning tools, as well as their (further) development. Rather than simply discussing strategies to counteract climate change by reducing emissions, the authors also search for ways of actively adapting to climate change.

Prices Versus Quantities with Incomplete Enforcement
Author: Juan-Pablo Montero
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
This paper extends Weitzman's (1974) "Prices vs. Quantities" to allow for incomplete enforcement. Whether the regulator uses prices (e.g., taxes) or quantities (e.g., tradeable quotas), a first-best design is always inefficient in the presence of incomplete enforcement. A second-best design that incorporates incomplete enforcement, and where cost and benefit curves are known with certainty, can be implemented equally well with either instrument. If benefit and cost curves are uncertain, however, a quantity instrument performs better than a price instrument. In fact, if the slopes of the marginal cost and marginal benefit curves are equal, quantities are always preferred over prices. Results are consistent to alternative enforcement policies.
