Pollution Taxes and Externalities
1. A pollution tax aims to internalize some of the external costs of pollution by increasing the marginal private cost for suppliers.
2. The tax revenue generated could be used to address other market failures or fund projects to reduce pollution.
3. While a pollution tax incentivizes pollution reduction, there are also disadvantages such as the potential for tax evasion or the tax burden falling disproportionately on lower-income groups. Alternative policies need consideration as well.
Green tax
Green taxes are intended to promote environmentally sustainable activities through economic incentives as an alternative to regulation. Carbon tax is levied based on the carbon content of fuels and helps increase competitiveness of non-carbon technologies while protecting the environment and raising revenue. CO2 is a greenhouse gas and human activity produces around 27 billion tons annually, making carbon taxes a policy option to reduce emissions. Fuel tax charges excise tax on fuels for transportation and can effectively generate revenue while decreasing fossil fuel dependence in the long run.
Negative externalities
Negative externalities occur when production or consumption impose costs on third parties not involved in the market transaction. This leads to market failure as prices do not reflect the full social costs. Examples include pollution from factories imposing health costs, and noise pollution from airlines imposing nuisance costs. Taxes or regulations can be used to internalize these external costs and improve economic efficiency by aligning private and social costs. However, determining the appropriate tax level can be difficult and taxes may impact consumer welfare.
Indirect taxes
The document discusses indirect taxes imposed by governments that increase producer supply costs. It provides examples of major indirect taxes in the UK such as VAT, fuel duties, and tobacco taxes. It explains how indirect taxes impact market equilibrium through shifting supply curves. The effect of the tax depends on the price elasticity of both supply and demand. Indirect taxes can generate substantial tax revenues for governments.
Carbon powerpoint
This document compares and contrasts carbon taxes and cap-and-trade policies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. A carbon tax sets a fee per ton of carbon emissions to make polluting more expensive and encourage energy efficiency and cleaner energy. Cap-and-trade sets a limit on total emissions and allows companies to trade permits to emit. It provides an economic incentive to reduce emissions. Both approaches aim to lower emissions over time, but a carbon tax provides more predictability while cap-and-trade may face fewer political obstacles. An ideal solution would involve international cooperation on carbon pricing and flexible allowance prices with a focus on developing alternative energy sources.
Developing green tax policy
This document discusses developing green tax policy to address environmental problems and enhance energy security. It defines a green economy as one that improves human well-being and equity while reducing environmental risks. Green taxes refer to fiscal measures that shift the tax burden from traditional areas to environmentally relevant activities like fossil fuels, while maintaining revenue neutrality. Green tax reforms can introduce new environmentally related taxes, reduce harmful subsidies, and restructure existing taxes based on environmental criteria. Green taxes are supported by the double dividend concept wherein they can improve the environment through reduced pollution and boost welfare by reducing other distortionary taxes. Applying green taxes can help improve energy security through more efficient energy use and lower vulnerability to price fluctuations, while also having producers internalize environmental costs
UVM Carbon Tax Powerpoint
The document proposes implementing a $100 per ton carbon tax on fossil fuels in Vermont to replace existing energy taxes. This would simplify the tax system, encourage reduced fossil fuel consumption and emissions, and generate revenue to invest in energy efficiency and economic growth. It estimates the tax would generate $364.5 million annually, reduce energy use by 4.98 trillion BTUs and emissions by 386,000 tons. It also discusses using some revenue and trading offsets to support carbon sequestration in agriculture and forests.

Chapter 13 the great mobilization (2)
This document discusses the need for a massive global mobilization to combat climate change similar to the US mobilization during WWII. It argues we must rapidly restructure the global economy to be powered by renewables, shift from fossil fuels to EVs, end deforestation, and incorporate environmental costs into pricing. Specific policies proposed include carbon taxes, ending subsidies for coal/oil, boosting renewables, and shifting retirement service overseas. Failure to act could lead to economic and societal collapse as environmental tipping points are passed.
Plan B 3.0 Audio Book Chapter 13 The Great Mobilization
The document discusses the need for a massive global mobilization to transition the world economy away from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources in order to avoid catastrophic climate change. It argues that this transition requires establishing honest market prices that incorporate environmental costs by restructuring taxes. Specifically, it advocates lowering income taxes while raising taxes on polluting activities like carbon emissions. This would encourage investment in clean energy and make renewable options relatively cheaper. Examples of successful tax shifting from Europe and carbon pricing schemes around the world are provided.
Carbon tax & cap and-trade
The document compares carbon taxes and cap-and-trade programs. It notes that carbon taxes provide predictable carbon prices and are easier to understand than cap-and-trade, while also encouraging alternatives through higher carbon emission prices. Cap-and-trade is argued to not drive voluntary market innovation or development and requires a complex market structure. Both policies can work to reduce carbon emissions if designed well, but carbon taxes are assessed to have advantages in providing predictable prices and encouraging low-carbon innovation and alternatives.
Cap and Trade Emissions - Carbon Tax or Carbon Pricing - 101
This presentation discusses cap and trade systems for carbon emissions. It defines cap and trade as a system that puts a limit on pollution and allows companies to buy and sell permits to pollute. It then explains how cap and trade systems work by having a central authority allocate a limited number of permits that polluters must hold in order to emit specific quantities of pollution. The presenter provides an overview of issues with the cap and trade systems in California and Europe, including a surplus of permits that has driven prices down in both regions.
Maximum prices
The document discusses various types of maximum prices or price caps that governments may implement, including caps on housing rents, energy prices, CEO pay, mobile roaming charges, and interest rates charged by payday lenders. It analyzes the effects of price caps using supply and demand diagrams, noting they may result in shortages if set below the market equilibrium price. Price caps also risk unofficial "black market" prices emerging above the capped level. The document evaluates price caps in different markets, outlines potential benefits in terms of consumer welfare but also downsides like reduced profits and investment.
OECD Green Talks LIVE - Taxing Energy Use 2019
On 15 October 2019, Jonas Teusch (OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration) discussed the key findings from the OECD publication, Taxing Energy Use 2019, which presents new and original data on energy and carbon taxes in OECD and G20 countries, and in international aviation and maritime transport.
Global energy consumption rose strongly in 2018 along with energy-related CO2 emissions, reaching a new all-time high. This is disconcerting, as meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement will require deep cuts in emissions. Taxing polluting sources of energy is an effective way to curb emissions that harm the planet and human health. Where do countries stand in deploying energy and carbon taxes to reach environmental and climate goals? How can governments step up efforts?
Carbon Strategies in the U.S. 2001-2009
The document compares and contrasts the US voluntary approach to reducing carbon emissions and the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme. The US approach relies on partnerships and voluntary targets while providing tax incentives. However, emissions are still projected to rise. The EU ETS establishes a cap-and-trade system covering major industrial sectors across 25 countries. It provides flexibility but also has disadvantages like limited sectors covered and a complex administration system. Transportation emissions are a challenge for both approaches.
CARBON TAX VERSUS CAP AND TRADE
This document discusses carbon taxation and emissions trading schemes. It notes that while carbon dioxide emissions are a market failure, pricing carbon can help reduce emissions through market signals. However, the current European Trading Scheme has issues like price volatility and limited participation. The document argues that a harmonized international carbon tax may be a better approach but has not been preferred politically. It also describes the European compromise between carbon taxes and emissions trading, which exempts some emissions covered by the trading scheme from taxation.

UK Emergency Budget 2010
The UK budget for 2010 included increasing VAT from 17.5% to 20%, freezing child benefit for three years, and implementing a two-year pay freeze for public sector workers. It also raised capital gains tax for higher-rate taxpayers to 28% and linked the basic state pension to earnings once again starting in April 2011. The budget cut corporation tax rates over several years and introduced a bank levy to raise over £2 billion annually.
OECD Green Talks Webinar: Carbon Pricing Trends - Measuring the Momentum
Decarbonisation keeps climate change in check and contributes to cleaner air and water. Carbon pricing is a cost-effective means of reducing CO2 emissions, but countries are still not using this tool to its full potential to curb climate change. xperts from the OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration presented the key findings from their report on Effective Carbon Rates, which measures pricing of CO2-emissions from energy use in 42 OECD and G20 countries, covering 80% of world emissions, and provided a first appreciation of countries’ progress since 2012.
Cap And Trade Policy Overview
From melting ice caps and rising sea levels to an increase in natural disasters and adverse health effects, the effects of global warming are vast and will continue to get worse if nothing is done reduce the amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere. One of the main concerns is the health of humans as the earth warms. Injuries due to severe weather, respiratory problems due to bad air quality, and nutritional deficiencies due to food shortages are all expected to increase because greenhouse gases are warming the earth. The health of many people is being compromised by large emitters such as industrial businesses, but it is these businesses that contribute to a strong economy by employing many individuals. Therefore, completely eliminating these industries is not a wise economic choice. However, there is currently no incentive program to encourage these businesses to invest in methods to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases they emit. It is estimated that companies can reduce their rate of pollution by 20 to 50 percent while remaining profitable if there is a market to sell carbon credits. Continuing to generate profits while reducing the amount of pollution emitted into the atmosphere seems like an ideal solution, but with no market place to sell carbon credits there is no incentive for management to change the way their business operates

Gas taxes are often considered regressive, impacting lower-income households more than higher-income households. However, this document discusses several factors that may make gas taxes less regressive. When factors like adaptation over time, use of electric vehicles, tax reforms, and public transportation expenditures are considered, gas taxes may actually be progressive or proportional across income levels in some countries and cases. The document also suggests the need for more comparative research analyzing the regressiveness of gas taxes across multiple countries and accounting for indirect effects.

Emission Trading Schemes
The document discusses carbon emission trading systems, specifically carbon taxes and cap-and-trade programs. It provides details on how each system works and compares their economic and environmental impacts. Cap-and-trade sets a limit on total emissions and allows trading of permits, ensuring the cap is met. Carbon taxes directly price emissions. Both aim to correct the market failure of greenhouse gas externalities. The document examines real-world examples from various countries and concludes that cap-and-trade is more effective at achieving environmental goals while providing flexibility for individual firms.
European Carbon Emissions Trading Scheme
The European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) is the largest carbon emissions trading scheme in the world. It began in 2005 and was implemented in two phases. Phase one was ineffective due to the carbon allowances given to firms being too high and cheap, resulting in increased emissions. Phase two, beginning in 2008, saw stricter limits on emissions and higher carbon prices, creating more incentive for firms to actually reduce emissions. The ETS aims to combat the negative externalities of greenhouse gas emissions and global warming through a cap-and-trade system.

"EU CLIMATE POLICIES TOWARDS A LOW-CARBON ECONOMY" Externalities
The document discusses externalities, which are costs or impacts of economic transactions that are borne by parties not directly involved in the transactions. It provides examples of negative externalities like pollution and climate change caused by industries like fossil fuel production and industrial farming. While the free market only considers direct supply and demand factors in pricing goods, it does not account for these external costs to society and the environment. The document questions whether governments should impose taxes to make prices truly reflect all costs, including externalities, and who should pay the costs of externalities currently not priced into goods like gasoline.
Company car fuel benefit charge
The document summarizes changes to the company car fuel benefit charge for the 2012-13 and 2013-14 tax years. It increases the multiplier used to calculate the taxable benefit of free fuel provided by employers to employees from £18,800 to £20,200 for 2012-13. This supports environmental goals and public finances following increased pump prices. The change impacts about 250,000 individuals and households, most of whom pay higher or additional tax rates, and increases fuel benefit charges for all cars except zero emissions vehicles.
Pricing Power for Businesses
The document discusses market power and efficiency in various contexts. It begins by defining market share and how it differs from market power. It then provides data on market shares in the UK retail banking sector in 2010. It discusses how market power can be self-reinforcing for industry leaders through economies of scale, profits to reinvest, and habitual consumption. The document also defines different types of economic efficiency and how monopoly pricing can lead to allocative inefficiency and deadweight loss compared to perfect competition. Finally, it applies concepts of economies of scale, both internal and external, to analyze falling prices in the smartphone industry.

Should Smaller EU Countries Join the Euro?
Whilst the debate over UK membership of the single currency is - by and large - decided, there is an ongoing economic discussion about whether membership of the Euro Zone is right for some of Europe's smaller and newer member nations. The Baltic States are all now members but countries such as Poland and the Czech Republic remain outside. This short revision video looks at some of the arguments for and against becoming a member nation of the Euro Zone.

What is Dynamic Efficiency
This document discusses innovation and dynamic efficiency. It defines innovation as putting new ideas into action, including product, process, and business model innovations. It also discusses Joseph Schumpeter's concept of "creative destruction" where innovation disrupts existing firms. The document then discusses the economic concept of supernormal profits driving firms to innovate and examples where newer firms use innovation to challenge industry leaders through new technologies and business models.
A2 Macro: EU Context for the UK Economy
The document discusses the differences between a free trade area and a customs union. It then focuses on the UK's relationship with the EU single market and the four freedoms that are part of the single market, including the free movement of labor. The document evaluates the economic advantages and disadvantages of free movement of labor within the EU for the UK economy. The key advantages discussed are increased productivity and downward pressure on wages due to competition, filling job vacancies to drive growth, and a fiscal dividend. Disadvantages include potential extra welfare costs and "leakages" from money workers send abroad. The document concludes that on balance, the free movement of labor has benefited the UK economy but there are challenges in ensuring it continues to do so.
Using Game Theory in Your Economics Exams
This document discusses key concepts in game theory and provides examples of how game theory can be applied to economics.

Consumer and capital goods
Capital goods are goods that are used to make consumer goods and services and include fixed plant and machinery, hardware, software, and new factories and buildings. Consumer goods and services directly satisfy needs and wants and are divided into durables, which provide utility over time like washing machines; non-durables, which are used up immediately like coffee; and services like haircuts. Capital goods help provide the infrastructure needed to produce consumer goods and services.

Business Objectives and Pricing Strategies
In this short revision video we look at a range of business objectives and how they affect the price that might be charged to consumers.
Key revision points:
Objectives often driven by managerial motives
Interdependent behaviour in an oligopoly - firms must consider the likely reactions of rivals
Most businesses are satisficers rather than maximisers
Regulatory interventions do matter e.g. price capping
More firms now use big data to drive revenues
Consumers are increasingly sensitive to issues surrounding fair / ethical pricing

Similar to Regulations and Market Failure
Negative externalities
Negative externalities occur when production or consumption impose costs on third parties not involved in the market transaction. This leads to market failure as prices do not reflect the full social costs. Examples include pollution from factories imposing health costs, and noise pollution from events imposing costs of disruption. Taxes and regulations can help internalize these external costs and improve social welfare, but come with challenges of setting the right level and unintended consequences.
Alan Nolan - SIMI - Irish Motor Industry Perspective
This document discusses efforts to reduce CO2 emissions from vehicles in Ireland. It makes three key points:
1) Three parties need to work together - the motor industry developing new technologies, government improving infrastructure and policies, and individuals making sustainable transportation choices.
2) The motor industry has significantly reduced vehicle emissions through 50 new technologies introduced in Europe over the last decade. However, emissions are now largely driven by older vehicles and traffic issues.
3) A behavioral approach is needed in addition to technologies and policies to effectively reduce emissions, as environmental decisions are influenced by multiple contextual factors beyond simply costs. Public engagement is important to build on existing concern for the environment.
ENV GLOBAL FORUM OCT 2016 - Session 4 - Sharlin Hemraj
The document discusses environmental fiscal reform in South Africa, including:
1. South Africa has developed policy frameworks to address environmental challenges like climate change through strategies focusing on sustainable development.
2. Environmental taxes have been implemented or proposed to correct market failures from negative externalities, including the electricity generation levy, plastic bag levy, and the proposed carbon tax.
3. Revenues from environmental taxes have increased over time but still only account for around 6% of total tax revenues on average, with the fuel levy being the largest component.
Europe carbon-emissions-trading
This document discusses carbon emissions trading in the EU and alternatives like a carbon tax. It covers:
1) The EU Emissions Trading Scheme which creates a market for carbon allowances in an effort to reduce emissions cost-effectively. However, the scheme has faced criticisms like over-allocation of quotas and price volatility.
2) A potential alternative of a carbon tax which would directly price carbon and provide incentives for emission reductions, but faces challenges in agreement and measuring emissions accurately.
3) Key considerations in evaluating different policy approaches include their effectiveness in changing behavior, encouraging innovation, reducing emissions at lowest cost, and achieving global participation. Putting an accurate price on carbon is necessary but not sufficient.
ETALAB-ACCENTURE PROJECT
The European Union has implemented strict CO2 emission regulations for cars to be 130g CO2/km in 2015 and 95g CO2/km in 2020. Some manufacturers may struggle to meet these targets and could face substantial fines. The analysis identified manufacturers that are likely to exceed limits and pay fines of €148.5 million in 2015 and €4.7 billion in 2020 if no action is taken. Optimal pooling strategies across manufacturers could help reduce overall fines paid to the EU.
Evaluating Carbon Policies
In this session we will look at some of the policy options for tackling climate change with the long term aim of de-carbonisation
In 2015, the earth’s surface temperature was around 0.9 Celsius degrees warmer than the 20th century average
Many economists recommend applying the polluter pays principle and placing a price on carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. This can be implemented either through a carbon tax (known as a price instrument) or a cap-and-trade scheme (a so-called quantity instrument).
Alan Nolan
The document discusses strategies to reduce CO2 emissions from vehicles in Ireland through the cooperation of three key parties: the motor industry, government, and individuals. It notes that while the motor industry has introduced many new technologies that have reduced emissions by 13% over the past decade, older vehicles and lack of infrastructure improvements have hindered further progress. Changing behaviors around car purchasing and use will be important to achieve emissions targets. Both incentives and disincentives from government will influence behaviors, but policies often overlook the importance of engaging industries and individuals in solutions.
EU agreement motor vehicles
The European Commission entered a voluntary agreement with automakers to reduce CO2 emissions from new passenger vehicles. The key points of the agreement are:
1) It sets a fleet-wide target of 140g of CO2/km by 2008 which would achieve over 41 mpg.
2) Automakers must introduce some models emitting under 120g/km of CO2 by 2000 and aim to reduce the fleet average to 120g/km by 2012.
3) The individual automakers have not set their own targets but will work collectively to meet the overall fleet goals.

Car CO2 labelling - overview and best practice
Most European member states have voluntarily developed car CO2 labels based on the EU energy label format. The document analyzes different label designs and whether ratings should be absolute or relative. It recommends harmonizing labels across countries to an absolute 7-band A-G scale for simplicity, but including best-in-class information for comparison. A composite label displaying both absolute ratings and best/worst in class is suggested. Examples of existing country labels are also presented.

Climate Change Summit - Joe Greenwell
This document discusses the automotive industry in the UK and efforts to develop low carbon vehicles. It provides an introduction to Ford in Britain and the UK automotive industry, noting its large economic contribution. It then discusses factors influencing demand for low carbon cars, including regulations, fuel prices, and consumer focus on cost of ownership. The industry has made progress in reducing CO2 emissions, but more can be done through technologies like clean diesel, direct injection gasoline engines, hybrid powertrains, and electric vehicles. Ford is developing a portfolio of low carbon vehicles and consumer awareness is driving market growth, though infrastructure challenges remain. The summary focuses on key efforts to develop low carbon vehicles and reducing emissions through technology.

Europe carbon-emissions-trading
The document discusses carbon emissions trading as an EU environmental policy to control climate change. It provides background on the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), which uses a cap-and-trade model to incentivize reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The ETS allocates emissions allowances that can be traded, with the goal of decarbonizing the economy over the long term. However, the system has faced criticisms over weaknesses like over-allocation of quotas and lack of certainty about future rules.
2014.11.28 - NAEC Group Meeting_DSG Tamaki
The OECD, IEA, ITF, and NEA have been tasked with examining how to better align policies across different areas to support a successful transition to sustainable low-carbon economies. This will include looking at economic, fiscal, financial, competition, employment and other policies. A key challenge is that existing policy frameworks were developed for fossil fuel-based economies. The report to Ministers in 2015 will provide examples of how to reform policies in areas like electricity markets, mobility incentives, land use, long-term investment, taxation, innovation, and international trade to support low-carbon transitions. The agencies will seek input on policy alignment issues and solutions through committee reviews, a seminar, and the NAEC Group meeting before reporting

Andrew Bannister, Head of Environmental Management at VW UK spoke at the FM & Property Event April 2013 CO2 emissions of vehicles: a broad and persistent problem
The transport sector has not seen the same decline in greenhouse gas emissions as many other sectors. CO2 emissions from passenger cars and trucks form a persistent problem and policymakers struggle to find effective solutions to meet the goals.
First, there is this ongoing race to the bottom among declared CO2 values with a growing gap with the emissions in real-world use. Second, manufacturers are only responsible for the performance of their cars under idealized circumstances, as measured during vehicle emission tests. Third, the economic and life-style aspects of owning and driving heavy and expensive cars are forces in the opposite direction. And last, the European Union has only limited systems in place for the monitoring and verification of the CO2 emissions of vehicles.
In this presentation, Norbert Ligterink (PhD), senior research scientist at TNO, guides you to understanding the complexity behind this broad and persistent problem.

1) The document provides an overview of environmentally-related product taxes used in OECD countries, including taxes on energy, motor vehicles, lubricating oils, batteries, and fuels.
2) It finds that some countries have very high tax rates per tonne of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted from vehicles, especially high-emission vehicles, and that these taxes have significantly reduced average CO2 emissions from new vehicles.
3) The document also notes that differentiating tax rates between diesel and petrol vehicles needs to account for other pollutants beyond just CO2 to avoid unintended impacts on local air pollution.
37 40
The document discusses the current policy approach to reducing transport-related air pollution in the EU, which has largely followed a regulatory approach through product standards and rules to meet air quality standards. It notes that while effective, this approach has limitations given the significant variations in causes and effects of air pollution across different regions and cities in Europe. Economic instruments could provide more flexibility to address this differentiation. Specifically, the document examines alternatives like adjusting taxes on fuels and vehicles to better reflect their environmental performance to further internalize the costs of air pollution.

Here is a quickfire journey through twenty important economic numbers that won’t change before the exam – use them to support your answer and impress the examiner!
Quantitative easing advantages_disadvantages
Quantitative easing (QE) involves central banks creating new money to buy financial assets, lowering interest rates and increasing the money supply. The Bank of England has purchased £445 billion in assets through QE as of 2019.
Advantages of QE include giving central banks an additional monetary policy tool beyond interest rates, helping to prevent deflation, boosting business confidence and exports. Disadvantages include potentially worsening wealth inequality, risking inflation, distorting capital allocation, and reducing pension incomes. The impact of QE on the real economy has uncertain time lags and effectiveness.
Monetary union
This document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of countries joining the eurozone and adopting the euro as their single currency. The key advantages include eliminating currency conversion costs to boost trade, attracting more investment, increasing price transparency for consumers, and providing a more stable currency. However, joining also means losing independent monetary policy tools and interest rates being set by the ECB for the entire bloc rather than individual countries. Sharing a currency also means the risks of economic downturns in trading partners are increased. Recent data on unemployment, inflation, debt levels, and Germany's economic slowdown are also presented.
UK Economy Update_2019
This April 2019 presentation looks at the current performance of the UK economy using a range of key indicators.
Supply-Side Policies (2019 Examples Update)
Supply-side policies aim to increase potential economic growth through microeconomic reforms that improve market efficiency. Examples discussed include privatizing industries like Royal Mail; reducing business regulations; lowering taxes on individuals and corporations; welfare reforms to incentivize work; education reforms; increasing wages; changing migration policies; investing in infrastructure for transport, energy, and housing; and establishing regional enterprise zones with tax breaks.
Applied Macro Examples for Economics Exams
This new video looks at loads of up to date examples on key macroeconomic indicators for different countries ahead of the 2019 summer economics exams.
Microeconomics - Great Applied Examples for Exams
In this presentation, I have chosen loads of current examples that you might want to use as context in your microeconomics exams. We look at examples from different market structures, recent mergers and takeovers, the world's most valuable companies, the largest employer, unicorn business, de-mergers, the biggest initial public offerings (IPOs) and much else. Hopefully a useful video to go through to add some super examples into your revision notes.
Business Objectives and Stakeholders
This revision presentation considers the variety of stakeholders impacted by business activity. How will a change in objectives, such as a move from profit maximisation to revenue maximisation have an effect on different stakeholders?
Profit Satisficing
This revision presentation looks at profit satisficing as an alternative objective for businesses. Why might firms satisfice? What are some of the possible consequences for economic welfare and efficiency?
Why Businesses Grow
This short video looks at some of the key motivations for business growth and focuses on the rapid expansion of Uber.
Sizes and Types of Firms
There are different types and sizes of firms in the UK economy. Types include public limited companies, privately-owned firms, start-ups, state-owned businesses, social enterprises, co-operatives, and partnerships. In terms of size, micro businesses have 0-9 employees, small to medium sized businesses (SMEs) have 10-250 employees, and large businesses employ over 250 people. The document also discusses business births and deaths in the UK economy.
The UK Productivity Gap
In this short revision video, we look at the substantial productivity gap between the UK and many of the UK’s major competitor countries.
Paul Krugman, the Nobel Prize-winning economist said twenty fives years ago that “Productivity isn’t everything, but in the long run it is almost everything,”
Trade Unions with a Monopsony Employer
In this presentation we consider the theory of wage-setting with a monopsony employer and the possible impact that a trade union might have on wages and employment. We also look at efficiency wage theory and mutual gains from pay bargaining between stakeholders.
Labour Market Failure (2019 Update)
This document discusses various types of labour market failures including skills gaps, geographical immobility, economic inactivity, inequality, discrimination, and monopsony power. It provides examples and analysis of each failure using diagrams. Potential policy remedies are outlined for each failure, such as increasing apprenticeships, improving housing affordability, raising the minimum wage, and enhancing workers' rights. The impact of minimum wages on monopsony employers is analyzed using a diagram showing how a minimum wage can increase employment levels and wages by counteracting monopsony power.
Behavioural Economics Update 2019
This document discusses behavioral economics concepts and policy interventions. It summarizes key concepts like loss aversion, default choices, and herd behavior. It then examines several policies using behavioral insights, including the UK sugar levy, auto-enrollment pensions, and presumed consent for organ donation. It evaluates whether nudges can significantly impact behaviors at scale and addresses potential unintended consequences and limitations of behavioral policies.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.^%$Zone1:+971)581248768’][* Legit & Safe #Abortion #Pills #For #Sale In #Duba...

Does teamwork really matter? Looking beyond the job posting to understand lab...Labour Market Information Council | Conseil de l’information sur le marché du travail
Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.Ending stagnation: How to boost prosperity across Scotland
A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

Job quality and labour market tightness
What's a worker’s market? Job quality and labour market tightnessLabour Market Information Council | Conseil de l’information sur le marché du travail
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.Recently uploaded (20)

Regulations and Market Failure
- 2. Externalities and Government Regulations - Examples • Health and Safety at Work Act covering all businesses. • Renewables Obligation Certificates to encourage the supply of renewable energy (+ penalties for not meeting targets) • Councils using by-laws preventing public consumption of alcohol. • Consumer protection legislation e.g. against dangerous goods • Laws such as the ban on smoking in public places from July 2007 • The European Union has introduced directives on how durables such as cars, batteries, fridges freezers should be disposed of • The EU also imposes increasingly tough rules on carbon emissions from vehicles which all EU manufacturers must meet • Speed limits on roads and weight limits for lorries • Quotas on how much fishing can take place in EU waters • Bans on sale of certain substances / minimum age of legal sale • Lowering alcohol limit for drivers – reduced by Scotland in 2014
- 3. Cutting Emissions From Cars – EU Policies in Action Regulations on Max CO2 Emissions per km Travelled A command and control approach 2015: Max 130gms per km +penalties for exceeding Effective in driving innovation Cap on emissions higher than actual Max limit might shift FDI outside the EU Bringing vehicles into the Emissions Trading Scheme Cap on emissions – “allowances” are traded Incentives for investment in low carbon technologies Most efficient emissions reducers can sell some allowances Collapse in prices has eroded the incentives for investment Higher road and fuel taxes Inelastic demand – fuel taxes generate significant revenues Easy to collect and adjust the rate Tax depends on actual fuel consumption not theoretical level But cannot guarantee target specific reductions in emissions

- 7. Evaluating the Impact of Industry Regulations The case for regulating negative externalities • Regulations act as a spur for business innovation e.g. to cut the level of carbon emissions • Regulations may be more effective if demand is unresponsive to price changes • Regulations can be gradually toughened each year – this will help stimulate capital investment
- 8. Evaluating the Impact of Industry Regulations The case for regulating negative externalities Costs / disadvantages of adding extra regulation of industries • Regulations act as a spur for business innovation e.g. to cut the level of carbon emissions • High cost of enforcement / administration of laws / regulations • Regulations may be more effective if demand is unresponsive to price changes • Regulations can lead to unwelcome unintended consequences / Govt failure • Regulations can be gradually toughened each year – this will help stimulate capital investment • The cost of meeting regulations can discourage small businesses and lower competition in markets
