The impact of informational costs in quantity regulation of pollutants. The case of the European Emissions Trading Scheme

Heindl, Peter - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2011

There is extreme heterogeneity of firms regulated under the European Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) in terms of emissions evels and employed technology. We present a model that shows that behavior of firms under quantity regulation can differ strongly, dependent on the characteristics of the...

Linking price and quantity pollution controls under uncertainty

Wood, Peter J.; Heindl, Peter; Jotzo, Frank; Löschel, … - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2013

This paper examines the linking of price-based and quantity-based provision of a public good by two parties in the example of pollution control under a global quantity constraint, using a stochastic partial-equilibrium model. One country chooses a price-based instrument (tax) and trades with...

The effect of regulatory scrutiny asymmetric cost pass-through in power wholesale and its end

Mokinski, Frieder; Wölfing, Nikolas - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2013

We find an asymmetric pass-through of European Emission Allowance (EUA) prices to wholesale electricity prices in Germany and show that this asymmetry has disappeared in response to a report on investigations by the competition authority. The asymmetric pricing pattern, however, was not detected...

A vision of the European energy future? The impact of the German response to the Fukushima earthquake

Grossi, Luigi; Heim, Sven; Waterson, Michael - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2014

The German response to the Fukushima nuclear power plant incident was possibly the most significant change of policy towards nuclear power outside Japan, leading to a sudden and very significant shift in the underlying power generation structure in Germany. This provides a very useful natural...

Efficient contracts for government intervention in promoting next generation communications networks

Briglauer, Wolfgang; Holzleitner, Christian - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2014

Although the future socio-economic benefits of a new fibre-based ('next generation access', NGA) telecommunications infrastructure seem to be uncontroversial, a universal NGA coverage appears to be a rather unrealistic objective without government intervention. We contend, however, that the...
