Abstract: | We examine the Markov-perfect Nash equilibrium (MPNE) of a game between oil-importing countries seeking to keep the atmospheric carbon concentration under a given ceiling, and oil-exporting countries. The importers set a carbon tax and the exporters control the producer price. Implicit feedback rules and explicit non-linear time paths of extraction, carbon tax, and producer price are obtained. Consumers are always able to reap a share of the scarcity and monopoly rents, while producers partially pre-empt the carbon tax only in the case of low marginal damage under the ceiling. The MPNE is set against to the efficient, open-loop, and cartel-without-tax equilibria. |
