| Popis: | 101 Green(environmentally friendly) goods not only has the value of consumption sourced from its own original function, but also has the conspicuous features that can be used to signal prestige. The consumption of non-green (environmentally unfriendly) goods has a positive spillover effect on the demand for green goods. The more non-green are consumed, the stronger the Veblen effect of green goods is. The pricing of green goods is determined by their elasticity of demand that is affected by the consumptions of both goods. The spillover of non-green goods is one of the key factors to determine the equilibrium price of green goods. In addition, government’＇s expenditure in developing environmentally friendly technologies is also associated with it. The producers of green goods and non-green goods will coordinate of their outputs when the international market is in quantity competition. In this case, subsidizing exports still is the optimal strategic trade policies and the spillover enhances them. On the one hand, if the Veblen effect is weak, the producers of green goods and non-green goods will not coordinate of their outputs when the international market is in prices competition. On the other hand, if the Veblen effect is strong, it is not necessary for the government to impose taxes on the export as what is claimed in Eaton and Grossman (1986). |
