This raises the question of whether climate policy should adapt to short-term fluctuations in fossil energy prices. We examine this question by employing a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model calibrated for the German economy. Our results indicate that the macroeconomic and welfare impacts of rule-based carbon pricing adjustments depend on the share of recycled revenue. If revenue is fully absorbed, lowering emissions prices can stabilize the economy in response to rising energy prices. Conversely, if revenue is at least partially recycled, maintaining a stable carbon price will improve overall welfare. With a stable carbon price, revenue recycling acts as insurance against fluctuating energy prices. This result remains robust across several robustness checks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48419,"journal":{"name":"Economic Modelling","volume":"144 ","pages":"Article 106982"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143344134","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}

Leveraging firm-level panel data on pollution emissions, we employ a difference-in-differences method to examine how the PMC affects pollution emissions, providing micro-level evidence to the literature on fiscal policies and environmental outcomes. Our results indicate that the PMC reform leads to increases in water pollution by 36.8% and air pollution by 8.6%. The mechanisms behind these findings are linked to local governments’ incentives to boost tax revenues and economic growth, which drive increased firm output, tax payment, and expanded production capacity. We identify heterogeneity across counties and firms: counties with higher pre-reform fiscal revenue experience less pollution growth, while firms affiliated with county governments show greater increases in emissions. These results highlight the trade-offs between fiscal decentralization and environmental protection, suggesting that policies aimed at economic growth should also incorporate measures to evaluate environmental damages.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48419,"journal":{"name":"Economic Modelling","volume":"144 ","pages":"Article 107005"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143343716","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}

We test this prediction using stock price data from U.S. firms between 2010 and 2019. Our findings confirm that brown firms are more sensitive to monetary policy shocks than green firms.

More imported inputs require government to improve the strength of intellectual property protection (IPP), which brings legal security for technology transfer and cooperation attached to imported inputs, accelerating innovation. However, we found that only when the strength of IPP is below a certain threshold, IPP enhances the positive impact of imported inputs on innovation output; when the strength of IPP exceeds this threshold, it hinders this positive impact.

The effect is weakened when the parent company is in the digital sector but the subsidiary is not, and vice-versa. This suggests that the relatedness between the parent and subsidiary firms in terms of their digital sector affiliations is important for the productivity effect.
