Adaptation, Mitigation and Risk-Taking in Climate Policy
Auerswald, Heike; Konrad, Kai A.; Thum, Marcel - CESifo - 2011

Mitigation aims … to the existing literature, we explicitly model the decision of risk-averse governments on mitigation and adaptation … policies. Furthermore we also consider the interaction of the two strategies. Mitigation efforts of a single country trigger …

Improving Global Public Goods Supply through Conditional Transfers - The International Adaptation Transfer Riddle
Pittel, Karen; Rübbelke, Dirk - CESifo - 2013
the global public good ‘climate change mitigation’. This paper focuses on a specific type of international transfer that … aims at raising mitigation while also reducing the damages from climate change: conditional adaptation support. Especially … transfers reduce the recipients’ incentives to contribute to climate change mitigation, one would, however, expect at least …

China's Anti-Dumping Problems and Mitigation through Regional Trade Agreements
Sun, Yanlin; Whalley, John - CESifo - 2015
This paper highlights the severity of China’s AD problems, and high concentration of AD actions taken by the top initiators, noting that China can offer a higher level of economic integration in an RTA in exchange for improved regional AD provisions. Case studies on RTAs give precedents in...

Probability Adjusted Rank-Discounted Utilitarianism
Asheim, Geir B.; Zuber, Stéphane - CESifo - 2014
We propose and axiomatize probability adjusted rank-discounted critical-level generalized utilitarianism (PARDCLU). We thus generalize rank-discounted utilitarianism (RDU) (proposed by Zuber and Asheim, 2012) to variable population and risky situations and thereby take important steps towards...

Carbon Leakage and Capacity-Based Allocations. Is the EU right?
Meunier, Guy; Ponssard, Jean-Pierre; Quirion, Philippe - CESifo - 2012
Two main approaches have been implemented in regional CO2 markets to address competitiveness and carbon leakage: output based allocation (Australia, California, New Zealand) and capacity based allocation (EU). This paper characterizes the best policy, given that auctioning with border adjustment...

The Trade-off between Intra- and Intergenerational Equity in Climate Policy
Kverndokk, Snorre; Nævdal, Eric; Nøstbakken, Linda - CESifo - 2013
This paper focuses on two equity dimensions of climate policy, intra- and intergenerational, and analyzes the implications of equity preferences on climate policy, and on the production and consumption patterns in rich and poor countries. We develop a dynamic two-region model, in which each...

Multiple Pollutants, Uncovered Sectors, and Suboptimal Environmental Policies
Fullerton, Don; Karney, Dan - CESifo - 2014
In our analytical general equilibrium model where two polluting inputs can be substitutes or complements in production, we study the effects of a tax on one pollutant in two cases: one where both pollutants face taxes and the second where the other pollutant is subject to a permit policy. In...

Provision of a Public Good with Altruistic Overlapping Generations and Many Tribes
Karp, Larry S. - CESifo - 2012
Intergenerational altruism and contemporaneous cooperation are both important to the provision of long-lived public goods. Equilibrium climate protection may depend more sensitively on either of these considerations, depending on the type of policy rule one examines. This conclusion is based on...

Oil Trade and Climate Policy
Curuk, Malik; Sen, Suphi - CESifo - 2015
It has been argued that a depletable resource owner might optimally increase near-term supply in response to environmental policies promoting the development of alternative resources, which might render climate policy ineffective or even counterproductive. This paper empirically confirms this...
