Comments on: Paying off the bad guys http://www.tvhe.co.nz/2009/03/07/paying-off-the-bad-guys/ The Visible Hand in Economics Sun, 08 Mar 2009 04:56:16 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Matt Nolan http://www.tvhe.co.nz/2009/03/07/paying-off-the-bad-guys/#comment-17862 Sun, 08 Mar 2009 04:56:16 +0000 http://www.tvhe.co.nz/?p=3105#comment-17862 I guess the ultimate issue for me is one of investment. Take an extreme example – if we have 100% permits to the existing large producers and continued to effectively tax carbon emissions for new (more efficient) entrants then we will not necessarily reduce the amount of carbon emissions – as the more efficient industries will lose market share to the less efficient (but covered) industries as they become less cost competitive.

Now, I doubt we are moving into a situation like that – but the incentive (through tax and competition) to introduce new technology would be the prime concern I would have surrounding a politically motivated scheme.

However, I agree that, in reality, a politically motived cap and trade scheme will probably be more effective than sitting on our hands.

Send the boys around for a chat?

Perhaps it’s schadenfruede, but I love to see larger corporations copping a bit of government authoritarianism. I’ve spent too much time pissed off when corporate power overrides democracy to have any sympathy, regardless of the quality of the rationale. If it’s in a good cause, so much the better.
