Investment-specific vs process innovation in a CGE model of environmental policy
Baccianti, Claudio; Löschel, Andreas - 2015
The European Union has implemented demand push and technology pull policies to foster innovation on the energy and resource efficiency of capital goods. The state of the art of general equilibrium modelling applied to environmental policy rarely treats product and process innovation separately...

The role of product and process innovation in CGE models of environmental policy
Baccianti, Claudio; Löschel, Andreas - 2014
In the last two decades, large scale CGE models used for environmental policy assessment underwent an important upgrade to integrate endogenous technological progress. Nevertheless, several complexities of innovation are still neglected even if they are of primary interest for policymakers. This...

Energy biased technical change : a CGE analysis
Otto, Vincent M. (contributor);  … - 2005
This paper studies energy bias in technical change. For this purpose, we develop a computable general equilibrium model that builds on endogenous growth models. The model explicitly captures links between energy, the rate and direction of technical change, and the economy. We derive the...

Decomposing integrated assessment climate change
Böhringer, Christoph (contributor);  … - 2005
We present a decomposition approach for integrated assessment modeling of climate policy based on a linear approximation of the climate system. Our objective is to demonstrate the usefulness of decomposition for integrated assessment models posed in a complementarity format. First, the...

Directed Technical Change and Climate Policy
Otto, Vincent M. - 2006
This paper studies the cost effectiveness of climate policy if there are technology externalities. For this purpose, we develop a forward-looking CGE model that captures empirical links between CO2 emissions associated with energy use, directed technical change and the economy. We find the...

Energy Biased Technical Change : A Cge Analysis
Löschel, Andreas; Otto, Vincent M.; Dellink, Rob - 2008
This paper studies energy bias in technical change. For this purpose, we develop a computable general equilibrium model that builds on endogenous growth models. The model explicitly captures links between energy, the rate and direction of technical change, and the economy. We derive the...

On the Effects of Unilateral Environmental Policy on Offshoring in Multi-Stage Production Processes
Schenker, Oliver - 2015
In the last decades supply chains emerged that stretch across many countries. This has been explained with decreasing trade and communication costs. We extend the literature by analyzing if and how unilateral environmental regulation induces offshoring to unregulated jurisdictions. We first...

Climate policy and the problem of competitiveness : border tax adjustments or integrated emission trading?
Alexeeva-Talebi, Victoria (contributor);  … - 2008
In the absence of an international agreement on climate policy, unilateral carbon abatement creates two problems: It tends to have a detrimental effect on domestic competitiveness, and it leads to an increase in carbon emissions abroad (leakage). This paper analyses two policies that have...

Assessing Emission Allocation in Europe : An Interactive Simulation Approach
Böhringer, Christoph; Hoffmann, Tim; Lange, Andreas; … - 2008
Implementation of an EU-wide emissions trading system by means of National Allocation Plans is at the core of European … environmental policy agenda. Member States are faced with the problem of allocating their national emission budgets under the EU … EU emissions trading system and the gains for each Member State vis-a-vis domestic abatement policies. We present an …
