With the increasing recognition of the use of reforestation measures as a complement to conventional carbon emissions avoidance technologies it is important to understand the market valuation of local forest carbon sinks for climate change mitigation. We conducted a framed-field experiment among...

The assessment of climate change mitigation policies through economic modeling depends crucially on assumptions under which technological change has been incorporated in the model. Earlier climate-energy-economics modeling attempts heavily relied on the assumption of exogenous technological...

This paper provides an overview of the treatment of technological change in economic models of environmental policy. Numerous economic modeling studies have confirmed the sensitivity of mid- and long-run climate change mitigation cost and benefit projections to assumptions about technology...

Despite of the apparent failure of the Kyoto Protocol with respect to environmental effectiveness, it has established a … broad international mechanism that might be able to provide a global reduction of greenhouse gas emissions during a second … commitment period. In this paper we investigate the likely future of post-Kyoto policies. Our primary objective is to identify …

In this paper, we investigate whether an environmental tax reform 'cum' joint implementation (JI) provides employment and overall efficiency gains as compared to an environmental tax reform 'stand-alone' (ETR). We address this question in the framework of a large-scale general equilibrium model...
