Air Pollution Dynamics and the Need for Temporally Differentiated Road Pricing
Coria, Jessica; Bonilla, Jorge; Grundström, Maria; Pleijel, Håkan (2013-09)In this paper we investigate the effects of the temporal variation of pollution dispersion, traffic flows and vehicular emissions on pollution concentration and illustrate the need for temporally differentiated road pricing ... -
Biodiversity Conservation and Ecosystem Services Provision: A Tale of Confused Objectives, Mulitple Market Failures and Policy Challenges
Coria, Jessica; Robinson, Elizabeth; Smith, Henrik G.; Sterner, Thomas (2012-10)Most research and funding in conservation has been oriented toward biodiversity per se. Until recently there has been little tangible effort in linking conservation to ecosystem service provision. Nevertheless, this trend ... -
Carbon Pricing: Transaction Costs of Emissions Trading vs. Carbon Taxes
Coria, Jessica; Jaraitė, Jūratė (2015-01)In this paper we empirically compare the transaction costs from monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of two environmental regulations directed to cost-efficiently reduce greenhouse gas emissions: a carbon dioxide ... -
Diffusion of NOx abatement technologies in Sweden
Bonilla, Jorge; Coria, Jessica; Mohlin, Kristina; Sterner, Thomas (2014-01)This paper studies how different NOx abatement technologies have diffused under the Swedish system of refunded emissions charges and analyzes the determinants of the time to adoption. The policy, under which the charge ... -
Divergence in Stakeholders’ Preferences: Evidence from a Choice Experiment on Forest Landscapes Preferences in Sweden
Nordén, Anna; Coria, Jessica; Jönsson, Anna Maria; Lagergren, Fredrik; Lehsten, Veiko (2015-03)A great deal of biodiversity can be found in private forests, and protecting it requires taking into consideration the preferences of key stakeholders. In this study, we examine and compare the valuation of forest attributes ... -
Ecotourism and the Development of Indigenous Communities: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Coria, Jessica; Calfucura, Enrique (2011-02)A large part of the literature analyzing the links between biodiversity conservation and community development assumes that nature-based tourism managed by indigenous communities will result not only in conservation of ... -
Environmental Policy and the Size Distribution of Firms
Coria, Jessica; Kyriakopoulou, Efthymia (2015-02)In this paper we analyze the effects of environmental policies on the size distribution of firms. We model a stationary industry where the observed size distribution is a solution to the profit maximization problem of ... -
Evaluation of the Impact of Forest Certification on Environmental Outcomes in Sweden
Nordén, Anna; Coria, Jessica; Villalobos, Laura (2016-05)Voluntary forest certification is an increasingly popular tool allowing producers who meet stringent environmental standards to label their products in the marketplace and potentially achieve greater market access and ... -
Fiscal Federalism, Interjurisdictional Externalities and Overlapping Policies
Coria, Jessica; Hennlock, Magnus; Sterner, Thomas (University of Gothenburg, 2018-09)In this paper, we analyze the effects of the interaction between national and local policies designed to reduce an environmental externality that causes environmental damages both nationally and locally. We formulate a ... -
Natural Resource Management: Challenges and Policy Options
Coria, Jessica; Sterner, Thomas (2011-01)Much of the improvement in living standards in developed and developing countries alike is attributable to the exploitation of nonrenewable and renewable resources. The problem is to know when the exploitation occurs at ... -
On Refunding of Emission Taxes and Technology Diffusion
Coria, Jessica; Mohlin, Kristina (2013-09)We analyze diffusion of an abatement technology in an imperfectly competitive industry under a standard emission tax compared to an emission tax which is refunded in proportion to output market share. The results indicate ... -
Optimal Environmental Road Pricing and Integrated Daily Commuting Patterns
Coria, Jessica; Zhang, Xiao-Bing (2016-12)Road pricing can improve air quality by reducing and spreading traffic flows. Nevertheless, air quality does not depend only on traffic flows, but also on pollution dispersion. In this paper we investigate the effects of ... -
Political Economy of Listing of Substances of Very High Concern in the European REACH Regulation
Coria, Jessica (2019-10)The Candidate List of the European Union regulation on the registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction of chemicals—known as REACH— gives advanced information to industry and other stakeholders about substances ... -
Prices vs Quantities with Multiple Pollutants
Ambec, Stefan; Coria, Jessica (2011-09)We examine the choice of policy instrument price, quantity, or a mix of the two when two pollutants are regulated and firms’ abatement costs are private information. A key parameter that affects this choice is the technological ... -
Should we tax or let firms trade emissions? An experimental analysis with policy implications for developing countries
Coria, Jessica; Villegas-Palacio, Clara; Cárdenas, J.C. (2011-09)In this paper we use laboratory experiments to test the theoretical predictions derived by Villegas-Palacio and Coria (2010) about the effects of the interaction between technology adoption and incomplete enforcement. They ... -
Strategic environmental regulation of multiple pollutants
Ambec, Stefan; Coria, Jessica (2015-09)We analyze the interplay between policies aimed to control global and local pollution such as greenhouse gases and particulate matter. The two types of pollution interact in the abatement cost function of the polluting ... -
Synergies and Trade-offs between Climate and Local Air Pollution: Policies in Sweden
Bonilla, Jorge; Coria, Jessica; Sterner, Thomas (2012-04)In this paper, we explore the synergies and tradeoffs between abatement of global and local pollution. We built a unique dataset of Swedish heat and power plants with detailed boiler-level data 2001-2009 on not only ... -
Targeted Enforcement and Aggregate Emissions With Uniform Emission Taxes
Coria, Jessica; Villegas-Palacio, Clara (2010-06)In practice, targeted monitoring seems to be a strategy frequently used by regulators. In this paper, we study the effects of targeted monitoring strategies on the adoption of a new abatement technology and, consequently, ... -
Taxes, Permits and Costly Policy Response to Technological Change
Coria, Jessica; Hennlock, Magnus (2010-05-10)In this paper we analyze the e ects of the choice of price (taxes) versus quantity (tradable permits) instruments on the policy response to technological change. We show that if policy responses incur transactional and ... -
Taxes, Permits and the Adoption of Abatement Technology under Imperfect Compliance
Villegas, Clara; Coria, Jessica (2009-06-16)This paper analyzes the effects of the choice between price-based and quantity-based emission regulations on compliance incentives and social welfare in the presence of incomplete enforcement and technology adoption. We ...
