摘要

如果没有绿色转型——消费和生产模式的重大转变,减少温室气体排放几乎是不可能的。为了研究这种转变,我们提出了一个动态模型,它在两个方面不同于经济学中的常用方法。首先,消费模式不仅反映了价格和税收的变化,也反映了价值的变化。价值观和技术的转变创造了一种动态的互补性,可以帮助或阻碍绿色转型。其次,与虚构的社会规划者不同,民主社会的政策制定者无法承诺未来的政策路径,因为他们要接受定期选举。我们表明,市场失灵和政府失灵可以相互作用,阻止福利增加的绿色转型实现,或使正在进行的绿色转型过于缓慢。

The Political Economics of Green Transitions
Abstract Reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases may be almost impossible without a green transition—a substantial transformation of consumption and production patterns. To study such transitions, we propose a dynamic model, which differs from the common approach in economics in two ways. First, consumption patterns reflect not just changing prices and taxes, but changing values. Transitions of values and technologies create a dynamic complementarity that can help or hinder a green transition. Second, and unlike fictitious social planners, policy makers in democratic societies cannot commit to future policy paths, as they are subject to regular elections. We show that market failures and government failures can interact to prevent a welfare-increasing green transition from materializing or make an ongoing green transition too slow.
