Expectation-Driven Climate Treaties with Breakthrough Technologies

Narita, Daiju; Wagner, Ulrich J. - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2011

The production of bioenergy is considered to be a promising energy source for a sustainable energy mix and it is politically promoted in many countries. With the exception of Brazilian ethanol, bioenergy not competitive to fossil energy sources, and therefore needs to be subsidised. Several...

Climate Policy, Technology Choice, and Multiple Equilibria in A Developing Economy

Narita, Daiju - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2010

Control of carbon dioxide emissions in developing countries is becoming a key issue in the international climate policy. A critical element for achieving substantial emission reduction in those countries is the installment of new energy technologies. Drawing on the framework of poverty-trap...

Climate Policy as Expectation Management?

Narita, Daiju - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2010

It is believed that the primary economic solution to climate change is an introduction of a carbon pricing system anchored to the social cost of carbon, either as a form of tax or tradable permits. Potentially significant externalities accompanying the introduction of emission-reducing...

Linkages between Technology Choice and Exporting: Evidence from Argentina

Schmidt, Gabriela; Trofimenko, Natalia - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2010

This paper aids our understanding of the link between innovation and exporting behavior by detailing how firms may purposefully decide on the source country for the imported innovation and the market that they ultimately serve. We argue that firms who invest in the state-of-the-art technologies...

Technology Choice and International Trade

Schmidt, Gabriela - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2010

This paper develops two extensions of the dynamic model presented in Melitz (2003). The first extension consists in the introduction of technology choice between three alternative production technologies: L, M and H. L is assumed to be the same as Melitz’s single production technology, while M...
