How Much Carbon Pricing is in Countries' Own Interests? The Critical Role of Co-Benefits (2014, background): “2For example, estimates of marginal air pollution damages within a country vary substantially, most importantly with population exposure (e.g., Fann et al., 2009; Levy et al., 2009; Muller and Mendelsohn, 2009).”
The Economic Valuation of Environmental Amenities and Disamenities: Methods and Applications (2009, background): “Recent advances in these methods have made it possible to value not only large changes in emissions (66, 67) but also marginal damages (68).”
Environmental Accounting for Pollution in the United States Economy (2011, background): “At the efficient level of emissions, the cost of abatement would increase slightly, but the GED would fall substantially (Muller and Mendelsohn, 2009).”
Do Americans Consume Too Little Natural Gas? An Empirical Test of Marginal Cost Pricing (2009, methodology): “22 Muller and Mendelsohn (2009) use an integrated assessment model to track and value emissions from 10,000”
Why Is Pollution from US Manufacturing Declining? The Roles of Environmental Regulation, Productivity, and Trade (2018, positive): “Several recent studies have used NEI microdata to explore temporal and spatial patterns in emissions trends and to incorporate air pollution into national accounts (Levinson, 2009; Muller and Mendelsohn, 2009; Muller, Mendelsohn, and Nordhaus, 2011).”
Intermittency and the Value of Renewable Energy (2011, neutral): “Muller and Mendelsohn (2009) estimate marginal social damages from SO2 and NOx.”
To tax, or not to tax: preferences for climate policy attributes (2012, background): “Traditionally, emissions taxes and emissions (permit) trading to reduce pollution are both considered market- based approaches (e.g. Dale, 1968; Montgomery, 1972; Tietenberg, 1980; Baumol et al., 1988; see also Muller and Mendelsohn, 2009, for a discussion of efficient pollution regulation).”
Regulation-Induced Pollution Substitution (2019, background): “If firms substitute among various forms of pollution, an efficient policy must consider not only a plant’s emissions into a particular medium, but rather a firm’s emissions across all media, in all locations (Muller & Mendelsohn, 2009).”
Do Energy Efficiency Investments Deliver? Evidence from the Weatherization Assistance Program (2018, methodology): “Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from residential natural gas consumption are monetized using the median marginal damage estimates in (Muller and Mendelsohn, 2009).”
The design of environmental markets: What have we learned from experience with cap and trade? (2017, background): “It was subsequently suggested that the use of damage-based trading ratios, where allowances would be adjusted for the marginal environmental damages of emissions from each source, would have been welfare-improving (Muller and Mendelsohn, 2009), but the practical”
