Illegal activities, but still value added ones (?): size, causes, and measurement of the shadow economies all over the world

Efficiency Gains from "What"-Flexibility in Climate Policy: An Integrated CGE Assessment
Böhringer, Christoph; Löschel, Andreas; Rutherford, … - 2004
We investigate the importance of ?what?-flexibility on top of ?where?- and ?when?-flexibility for alternative emission control schemes that prescribe long-term temperature targets and eventually impose additional constraints on the rate of temperature change. We find that ?what?-flexibility...

C & C - contraction and convergence of carbon emissions: the economic implications of permit trading
Böhringer, Christoph; Welsch, Heinz - 1999
In the context of climate protection policy it has been suggested that global CO2 emissions should be reduced significantly (contraction) and that per capita emissions should gradually be equalized across countries (convergence). This paper uses a dynamic multi-region computable general...

Cooling down hot air: a global CGE analysis of post-Kyoto carbon abatement strategies
Böhringer, Christoph - 1999
The Kyoto Protocol marks a break-through in global warming mitigation policies as it sets legally binding emissions targets for major emitting regions. However, realisation of the Protocol depends on the clarification of several issues one of which is the permissible scope of international...

Decomposing the cost of Kyoto: a global CGE analysis of multilateral policy impacts
Böhringer, Christoph; Rutherford, Thomas F. - 2000
We decompose the economic implications of the Kyoto Protocol at the cross-country level, splitting the total economic impact for each region into contributions from its own emission abatement policy and those from other regions. Our analysis which is based on a large-scale computable general...
