Clean and productive? : evidence from the German manufacturing industry
Böhringer, Christoph; Moslener, Ulf; Oberndorfer, Ulrich; … - 2008
We analyze the productivity effects of environmental (green) investment as well as of environmental expenditures and energy expenditures. For this purpose, we follow a production function approach where we account for these investment and expenditure categories as inputs. Based on a panel...

Optimal emission pricing in the presence of international spillovers : decomposing leakage and terms-of-trade motives
Böhringer, Christoph; Lange, Andreas; Rutherford, Thomas F. - 2012
Carbon leakage provides an efficiency argument for unilateral climate policy to differentiate emission prices in favor of emission-intensive and trade-exposed sectors. At the same time, differential emission pricing can be (mis-)used as a beggar-thy-neighbor policy to exploit terms of trade....

Alternative designs for tariffs on embodied carbon : a global cost-effectiveness analysis
Böhringer, Christoph (contributor) - 2012
In the absence of effective world-wide cooperation to curb global warming, import tariffs on embodied carbon have been proposed as a potential supplement to unilateral emissions pricing. We consider alternative designs for such tariffs, and analyze their effects on global welfare within a...

Model choice and size distribution : a Bayequentist approach
Engler, John-Oliver; Baumgärtner, Stefan - 2013
We propose a new three-step model-selection framework for size distributions in empirical data. It generalizes a recent frequentist plausibility-of-fit analysis (Step 1) and combines it with a relative ranking based on the Bayesian Akaike Information Criterion (Step 2). We enhance these...

Unilateral climate policy and competitiveness : the implications of differential emission pricing
Böhringer, Christoph; Alexeeva-Talebi, Victoria - 2011
Unilateral emission reduction commitments raise concerns on international competitiveness and emission leakage that result in preferential regulatory treatment of domestic energy-intensive and trade-exposed industries. Our analysis illustrates the potential pitfalls of climate policy design...

Embodied carbon tariffs
Böhringer, Christoph; Carbone, Jared C.; Rutherford, … - 2011
In a world where the prospects of a global agreement to control greenhouse gas emissions are bleak, the idea of using trade policy as an implicit regulation of foreign emission sources has gained many supporters in countries contemplating unilateral climate policies. Embodied carbon tariffs tax...

The Environmental Implications of Russia's Accession to the World Trade Organization
Böhringer, Christoph - 2017
Organization accession allows Russia to import better technologies and reduce pollution from the "technique effect," on balance … World Trade Organization accession alone will increase environmental pollution in Russia through a shift toward dirty … industries (the "composition effect" ) and the expansion of output with its associated increase in pollution ( "scale effect …
