Some Inconvenient Truths About Climate Change Policy

+2

web.mit.edu –

Instead of efficiently pricing greenhouse gases, policy makers have favored measures that implicitly or explicitly subsidize low carbon fuels. The authors simulate a transportation-sector cap & trade program (CAT) and three policies currently in use: ethanol subsidies, a renewable fuel standard (RFS), and a low carbon fuel standard (LCFS). The simulations confirm that the alternatives to CAT are quite costly|2.5 to 4 times more expensive.

0

actionaid.org –

Every year Uganda sacrifices an amount equal to nearly twice its entire health budget due to its use of tax incentives such as tax holidays for foreign businesses. Worse still, research shows that these incentives are not necessary to attract investments to Uganda. Government needs to remove excessive tax incentives, promote transparency on the tax incentives they give, and coordinate with the East African Community to avoid harmful tax competition.

India has undergone a remarkable transformation over the last two decades. Its economic growth, averaging at six percent between 1992 and 2001, and eight percent between 2002 and 2011, has seen it emerge as one of the fastest growing economies in the world today. A second important trend is that of growing urbanisation within the country. India’s urban population, which was about 285 million in 2001, and 380 million in 2011, is expected to grow to over 600 million by 2030, comprising about 40 more...

0

idbdocs.iadb.org –

Total factor productivity (TFP) in Latin America has not increased since the mid- 1970s, and in many countries it has declined. Moreover, resource misallocation can lower aggregate TFP. This paper presents evidence based on firm-level data from 10 Latin American countries to quantify the heterogeneity of firm productivity and the degree of resource misallocation within countries. Productivity heterogeneity and resource misallocation are found to be much larger than in the United States. more...
