  • Public Finance Options for Recycling Carbon Tax Revenue in Germany

    Frederick Van Der Ploeg, Armon Rezai et al.ARTICLEFinanzArchiv2024

    We use a micro simulation model for Germany to show that it is optimal to use part of carbon tax revenue for handing out climate dividends, part to lower income taxes, and part to make up for public revenue shortfalls. The optimal recycling mix is tilted towards climate dividends away from tax reductions as relative inequality aversion increases. For baseline inequality aversion, up to half of carbon tax revenue is used to fund climate dividends …

  • Do strong oligopolies reverse Green Paradox effects

    Open AccessGerard van der Meijden, Hassan Benchekroun et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Political…2023

    In a competitive market renewable energy subsidies or postponement of carbon pricing tend to boost emissions and global warming in the short run. This so-called Green Paradox effect may be reversed if fossil-fuel firms operate under an oligopoly and the number of members is low enough. A reversal of the Green Paradox always occurs under a fossil fuel monopoly. If the extraction costs of fossil fuel depend on the aggregate remaining stock of reser…

  • Breakthrough Renewables and the Green Paradox

    Frederick Van Der PloegARTICLEFinanzArchiv2018

    We show how a fossil fuel monopoly responds to a carbon-free substitute becoming available at some uncertain point in the future if demand is isoelastic and variable extraction costs are zero but upfront exploration investment costs have to be made. Before the breakthrough, oil reserves are depleted too rapidly; afterwards, the oil depletion rate drops and the oil price jumps up by discrete amounts. Subsidizing green R&D to speed up the breakthro…

  • The Impact of Natural Resources

    Frederick Van Der Ploeg, Steven PoelhekkeARTICLEThe Journal of Development Studies2017

    The cross-country empirical evidence for the natural resource curse is ample, but unfortunately fraught with econometric difficulties. A recent wave of studies on measuring the impact of natural resource windfalls on the economy exploits novel datasets such as giant oil discoveries to identify effects of windfalls, uses natural experiments and within-country econometric analysis, and estimates local impacts. These studies offer more hope in the s…

  • Do Natural Resources Attract Nonresource FDI

    Steven Poelhekke, Frederick Van Der PloegARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2013

    A new and extensive panel of outward nonresource and resource FDI is used to investigate the effect of natural resources on the different components of FDI. Our main findings are as follows. First, for countries which were not a resource producer before, a resource discovery causes nonresource FDI to fall 16% in the short run and by 68% in the long run. Second, for countries that were already a resource producer, a doubling of resource rents indu…

  • Absorbing a windfall of foreign exchange

  • Natural Resources

    Frederick Van Der PloegARTICLEJournal of Economic Literature2011

    Are natural resources a “curse” or a “blessing”? The empirical evidence suggests that either outcome is possible. This paper surveys a variety of hypotheses and supporting evidence for why some countries benefit and others lose from the presence of natural resources. These include that a resource bonanza induces appreciation of the real exchange rate, deindustrialization, and bad growth prospects, and that these adverse effects are more severe in…

  • Harnessing Windfall Revenues

    Open AccessFrederick Van Der Ploeg, Anthony J VenablesARTICLEThe Economic Journal2011Citada por: 25Referências: 25

    A windfall of natural resources (or aid) faces government with choices of how to manage public debt, investment and the distribution of funds for consumption. The permanent income hypothesis suggests a sustained increase in consumption supported, once resources are depleted, by interest on accumulated foreign assets. However, this strategy is not optimal for capital-scarce developing economies. Incremental consumption should be skewed towards pre…

  • Volatility and the natural resource curse

    Frederick Van Der Ploeg, Steven PoelhekkeARTICLEOxford Economic Papers2009

    We provide cross-country evidence that rejects the traditional interpretation of the natural resource curse. First, growth depends negatively on volatility of unanticipated output growth independent of initial income, investment, human capital, trade openness, natural resource dependence, and population growth. Second, the direct positive effect of resources on growth is swamped by the indirect negative effect through volatility. Third, with well…

  • Globalization and the rise of mega-cities in the developing world

    Frederick Van Der Ploeg, Steven PoelhekkeARTICLECambridge Journal of Regions…2008Citada por: 5Referências: 8

    Thomas Friedman has argued in The World is Flat that those who deny rapid globalization will not survive in the global economy. First, we critically discuss Friedman's views and highlight the new globalization driven by outsourcing and vertical specialization. Second, we argue that Friedman pays insufficient attention to the spectacular growth of mega-cities in the developing world. The world is not flat, and the developing world certainly is not…

  • Sustainable Social Spending and Stagnant Public Services

    Frederick Van Der PloegARTICLEFinanzArchiv2007

    If demand for human services is inelastic or manufactured goods are necessities, labor shifts from manufacturing to services and the budget share of services rises. Higher productivity growth in the market sector pushes up the tax rate and public employment if private goods and public services are poor substitutes, labor supply is inelastic, and there are few dependents. Otherwise, private affluence and public squalor result. More dependents boos…

  • Getting European Universities Into Shape

    Open AccessBas Jacobs, Frederick Van Der PloegARTICLEEuropean Political Science2006Referências: 2

    Most European universities lag behind the best universities in the Anglo-Saxon world. A key challenge is to raise resources per student in Europe to US levels. The Lisbon agenda demands fundamental reform of the European university system in order to enhance efficiency, yet avoid grade inflation, to foster more competition, to allow for much larger private contributions accompanied by income-contingent student loans, and to attract larger numbers…

  • Keynesian Multipliers and the Cost of Public Funds Under Monopolistic Competition

    Ben J Heijdra, Frederick Van Der PloegARTICLEThe Economic Journal1996Citada por: 3Referências: 1

    The authors extend macroeconomic models of imperfect competition with Keynesian features to allow for nonunitary elasticities between leisure and consumption and the effect of product variety on multipliers and welfare. Provided preference for diversity is sufficiently strong, the real national income multiplier for a given rise in real public spending is larger under free than under restricted entry and exit of firms. This implies a procyclical …
