Exploring the General Equilibrium Costs of Sector-Specific Environmental Regulations

The Stringency Of Environmental Regulations And Technological Change: A Specific Test Of The Porter Hypothesis

High - Technology Subsidies in General Equilibrium : A Sector - Specific Approach

We use a specific-factor model to exarnine the conditions under which policymakers are able to increase aggregate production of high-tech goods by production or R&D-subsidies in the short and long-mn. The difficulties for the policy-makers in designing a subsidy scheme that succeeds in expanding aggregate high-tech production involve taking into account the trade-off between resources used in R...

Assessing the Economic Effects of Environmental Regulations: A General Equilibrium Approach

I describe standard macroeconomic methods for assessing the effects of policy on allocations and welfare. I then embed a version of a benchmark industry equilibrium model into an otherwise standard version of the one sector growth model and describe how this setting provides a useful structure for the analysis of environmental regulations that impact on one particular sector but which might rea...

Social Costs of Jobs Lost Due to Environmental Regulations

This paper estimates the social costs of job loss due to environmental regulation. Per job lost, potential social costs of job loss are high, plausibly over $100,000 in present value costs (2012 dollars) per permanently lost job. However, these social costs will typically be far less than the earnings associated with lost jobs, because labor markets and workers adjust, increased leisure has som...

the effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...
