Two years after a carbon policy shock, the output of regions in the bottom quartile of the gross value added per capita distribution decreases 0.4 percentage points more relative to the output of regions in the top quartile.

We develop a methodology to calculate the welfare cost of business cycles taking into account that observed consumption is partially smoothed.

We estimate this parameter profiting from two distinct variance regimes measured in the historical consumption data and an identification strategy for the mapping between the span for each of these periods. In our preferred specification, we find that the welfare cost of total fluctuations is 11 percent of lifetime consumption, of which 82 percent is smoothed by the status quo policies, yielding a residual 1.8 percent of consumption to be tackled by policymakers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48389,"journal":{"name":"European Economic Review","volume":"169 ","pages":"Article 104822"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142058249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper develops the first large-scale, annually calibrated, multi-region, overlapping generations model of climate change and carbon policy. It features region-specific temperature and damage functions with the phased impact of emissions on global and regional temperature calibrated to the latest scientific evidence. Absent policy, climate change may, under high-damage scenarios, dramatically reduce GDP in most regions, with India, Brazil, and the South Asian Pacific suffering long-term catastrophic damages. Carbon taxation, coupled with region- and generation-specific transfers, can both correct the carbon externality and raise the welfare of all current and future agents across all regions by 4.3 percent. The impact on the use and duration of fossil fuels is dramatic as is the reduction in the path of global emissions. However, achieving completely uniform welfare gains leaves future generations in particular regions facing exceptionally high compensatory payments. Fortunately, a carbon tax-cum redistribution policy that limits this burden for any generation in any region to less than 10 percent, measured on a consumption-equivalent basis, can deliver a 4.0 percent or higher welfare gain for all peoplekind — present and future. However, carbon taxes set through time, at carbon’s marginal social cost, do far too little to mitigate climate change unless all major emitters, particularly China, adopt them and do so immediately.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48389,"journal":{"name":"European Economic Review","volume":"168 ","pages":"Article 104819"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001429212400148X/pdfft?md5=a9d5d57f7ee045d5649cfbf583e7e547&pid=1-s2.0-S001429212400148X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141843296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, differences in match-quality draws between immigrants and natives also impact firms’ job creation decisions. The return-migration channel positively affects natives, while job creation effects are negative in the calibrated Spanish economy. I find that immigrants mitigate the impact of the recession and enhance natives’ welfare.
