A presumptive pigouvian tax on gasoline: analysis of an air pollution control program for Mexico City / Eskeland, Gunnar S.
Without continuous monitoring of emissions, a pollution control agency needs to evaluate abatement options itself. Apart from making activities cleaner, it should also stimulate reductions in the level of activity in polluting sectors. The author develops an analytical framework to show that a tax on a variable input, such as gasoline, is useful fo [...]

Externalities and production efficiency / Eskeland, Gunnar S.
The author brings together two of government's primary challenges: environmental protection, and taxation to generate revenues. If negative externalities can be reduced not only by changes in consumption patterns, but also by making each activity cleaner (abatement efforts), how shall inducements to various approaches be combined? If negative exter [...]

Air Pollution during Growth Accounting for Governance and Vulnerability / Dasgupta, Susmita
New research on urban air pollution casts doubt on the conventional view of the relationship between economic growth and environmental quality. This view holds that pollution automatically increases until societies reach middle-income status because poor countries have neither the institutional capacity nor the political commitment necessary to reg [...]
