    The cost-effectiveness of unilateral emission abatement can be seriously hampered by emission leakage. We assess three widely-discussed proposals for leakage reduction targeted at energy-intensive and trade-exposed industries: border tax adjustments, output-based allocation and industry exemptions. We find that none of these measures amounts to a "magic bullet" when both efficiency and equity criteria matter. Border tax adjustments reduce leakage and provide global cost savings but exacerbate regional inequality. Exemptions produce very little leakage reduction and run the risk of increasing efficiency cost of climate policy. Output-based allocation does no harm but also does relatively little good by our outcome measures.

    Since the introduction of bootstrap DEA there is a growing literature on applications which use this method, mainly for hypothesis testing. It is therefore important to establish the consistency and evaluate the performance of bootstrap DEA. The few Monte Carlo experiments in the literature perform this exercise on the basis of coverage probabilities, using a certain population assumption and usually they analyze the simple case of 1 input and 1 output. However, it has been argued recently that coverage probabilities are not a good tool of assessment. In our study we evaluate the performance of bootstrap DEA using the standard approach of comparing moments. We use three different data generating processes over three different dimensions while for each case we compare results from both the smooth and "naive" bootstrap. Our results are not in accordance with previous studies, as we find that the smooth bootstrap performs overall worse while we highlight the cases where the researcher should be cautious when using these techniques.

    Bootstrapping non-parametric models is a fairly complicated exercise which is associated with implicit assumptions or requirements that are not always obvious to the non-expert user. Bootstrap DEA is a significant development of the past decade; however, some of its assumptions and properties are still quite unclear, which may lead to mistakes in implementation and hypothesis testing. This paper clarifies these issues and proposes a hypothesis testing procedure, along with its limitations, which could be extended to test almost any hypothesis in bootstrap DEA. Moreover, it enhances the intuition behind bootstrap DEA and highlights logical and theoretical pitfalls that should be avoided.

    This paper studies the optimal public investment decisions in countries experiencing a resource windfall. To do so, we use an augmented version of the Permanent Income framework with public investment faced with adjustment costs capturing the associated administrative capacity as well as government direct transfers. A key assumption is that those adjustment costs rise with the size of the resource windfall. The main results from the analytical model are threefold. First, a larger resource windfall commands a lower level of public capital but a higher level of redistribution through transfers. Second, weaker administrative capacity lowers the increase in optimal public capital following a resource windfall. Third, higher total factor productivity in the non-resource sector reduces the degree of des-investment in public capital commanded by weaker administrative capacity. We further extend our basic model to allow for ""investing in investing"" - that is public investment in administrative capacity - by endogenizing the adjustment cost in public investment. Results from the numerical simulations suggest, among other things, that a higher initial stock of public administrative ""know how"" leads to a higher level of optimal public investment following a resource windfall. Implications for policy are discussed
