Border Adjustments for Carbon Emissions: Basic Concepts and Design

Mechanism Design: Basic Concepts

The setup is similar to that of a Bayesian game. The ingredients are: 1. denote a typical type of player i. (q (m) , t (m)). All of these are to be chosen by the mechanism designer. We call the pair Γ = (M, φ) a mechanism. We will consider dominant strategy equilibria in these Bayesian games as well as Bayesian Nash equilibria. Whichever solution concept we adopt, we call φ (m) = (q (m) , t (m)...

Some Basic Design Concepts Experimental Design

Sir Ronald Fisher, the statistician, eugenicist, evolutionary biologist, geneticist, and father of modern experimental design, observed that experiments are ‘only experience carefully planned in advance, and designed to form a secure basis of new knowledge’ (Fisher, 1935: 8). Experiments are characterized by the: (1) manipulation of one or more independent variables; (2) use of controls such as...

Border adjustments under unilateral carbon pricing: the case of Australian carbon tax

In the absence of a global agreement to reduce emissions, Australia has adopted a carbon tax unilaterally to curb its own emissions. During the debate prior to passing the carbon tax legislation, there were concerns about the challenge that Australia’s emissions intensive and trade exposed (EITE) industries may face in terms of decreasing international competitiveness due to the unilateral natu...

ion level n+2 abstraction level n+1 1.2 Design methodology 7 ping of the design model and its design notation onto a formal model is called the formal semantics of the design model and its design notation, respectively. In this way, the formal model allows the use of mathematical models to compare, analyse and manipulate designs. Section 2.3 elaborates on the relationships between a design mode...
