The economics of pollutionKey Points Economic production can cause environmental damage. This tradeoff arises for all countries, whether high-income or low-income, and whether their economies are market-oriented or command-oriented. An externality, sometimes called a spillover, occurs when an exchange between a buyer and seller has an impact on a third party who is not part of the exchange....0 Комментарии 0 Поделились 14Кб Просмотры 0 предпросмотр

Do carbon taxes reduce emissions?Do Carbon Taxes Reduce Emissions? The argument usually arrives disguised as arithmetic. A legislator holds up a chart, a pundit cites a gasoline price, an economist sketches a tidy curve on television. Carbon taxes, we are told, work because people respond to prices. Raise the cost of pollution and pollution declines. Elegant. Mechanical. Almost Newtonian. But carbon is not emitted by...0 Комментарии 0 Поделились 4Кб Просмотры 0 предпросмотр

How do governments reduce pollution?How Do Governments Reduce Pollution? A river does not argue. It carries the memory of a civilization in silence. Stand beside the lower stretch of the Cuyahoga River in the late 1960s and you would have smelled varnish, gasoline, sulfur, rot. The water itself could ignite. It did ignite. Flames climbed from the river’s surface like a deranged industrial miracle, and the photographs...0 Комментарии 0 Поделились 6Кб Просмотры 0 предпросмотр

How does carbon pricing work?How Does Carbon Pricing Work? There is a habit in economics, especially in rooms with polished tables and filtered air, to speak about carbon as though it were an abstraction. A metric. A unit. A derivative of energy consumption. Yet carbon dioxide is physical. It leaves a tailpipe warm. It rises from a smokestack with the invisible confidence of empire. It lingers in oceans that absorb heat...0 Комментарии 0 Поделились 4Кб Просмотры 0 предпросмотр

How does economics affect the environment?How Does Economics Affect the Environment? There is a moment, standing in an old-growth forest, when economics appears absurd. Not wrong. Not malicious. Simply too small. The trees do not invoice the atmosphere for oxygen. Rivers do not submit expense reports after flooding a delta with nutrients. A mycorrhizal network beneath the soil—those astonishing fungal webs trading carbon and...0 Комментарии 0 Поделились 5Кб Просмотры 0 предпросмотр

Is environmental protection expensive?Is Environmental Protection Expensive? The question arrives dressed as economics, but it is almost always a question about imagination. A river catches fire once and people call it tragedy. A river catches fire twice and investors call it uncertainty. A river catches fire three times and economists quietly rename it “externalized cost.” Language has a way of laundering smoke. For...0 Комментарии 0 Поделились 3Кб Просмотры 0 предпросмотр

Should governments tax pollution?Should Governments Tax Pollution? The river looked anesthetized. Not dead. Worse. Alive in a diminished way, as if life itself had signed a compromise agreement. I remember standing beside the Cuyahoga years after the famous fire, watching the water move under a film of industrial sheen that caught the afternoon sun like a bruise. Nearby, a father cast a fishing line with the stubborn...0 Комментарии 0 Поделились 4Кб Просмотры 0 предпросмотр

What Are Externalities in Economics?What Are Externalities in Economics?Examples of Positive and Negative Externalities In economics, many decisions are made by individuals, households, and firms. Usually, these decisions affect the people who make them directly. However, sometimes an action also affects others who were not part of the decision and did not agree to it. Economists call these side effects externalities....0 Комментарии 0 Поделились 7Кб Просмотры 0 предпросмотр
