Embedding CCS infrastructure into the European electricity system: A policy coordination problem

Heitmann, Nadine; Bertram, Christine; Narita, Daiju - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2010

Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) has recently been receiving increasing recognition in policy debates. Various aspects of possible regulatory frameworks for its implementation are beginning to be discussed in Europe. One of the issues associated with the wide use of CCS is that it...

Environmental tax reform and the double dividend: An econometric demand analysis

Scholz, Christian M. - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 1997

This paper examines the empirical relevance of the double dividend of revenue neutral marginal environmental tax reforms. For this purpose we use an extended version of the Ahmad-Stern model of indirect taxation. This version includes environmental externalities. We estimate the key parameters...

Household Formation and Residential Energy Demand: Evidence from Japan

Schröder, Carsten; Rehdanz, Katrin; Narita, Daiju; … - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2013

We use a large household panel for Japan (Keio Household Panel Survey) to estimate household-size economies in energy … consumption. The household-size economies we obtain are significant and sizable: the per-capita energy-related spending of a two …-adult household is only about two-thirds of the expenditure of a one-adult household. We use the estimates of household-size economies …

Marginal abatement cost curves in general equilibrium: The influence of world energy prices

Klepper, Gernot; Peterson, Sonja - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2006

Marginal abatement cost curves (MACCs) are a favorite instrument to analyze international emissions trading. This paper focusses on the question of how to define MACCs in a general equilibrium context where the global abatement level influences energy prices and in turn national MACCs. We...

Carbon Efficiency, Technology, and the Role of Innovation Patterns: Evidence from German Plant-Level Microdata

Petrick, Sebastian - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2013

We describe the determinants of energy intensity, carbon intensity, and CO2 emissions in the German manufacturing sector between 1995 and 2007, applying the LMDI index decomposition technique not to aggregate but to micro data. We trace back changes in total CO2 emissions from manufacturing to...

Does Foreign Aid Reduce Energy and Carbon Intensities in Developing Countries

Kretschmer, Bettina; Hübler, Michael; Nunnenkamp, Peter - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2010

Advanced OECD countries are widely held responsible to contain global carbon emissions by providing financial and technical support to developing economies, where emissions are increasing most rapidly. It is open to question, however, whether more generous official development assistance would...

On the Robustness of Marginal Abatement Cost Curves: The Influence of World Energy Prices

Klepper, Gernot; Peterson, Sonja - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2003

Since the study of Ellerman and Decaux (1998) marginal abatement cost curves (MACCs) have become one of the favorite instruments to analyze the impacts of the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol and emission trading. This paper shows that the MACC in one country depends - via the link of world...

Global Governance: Old and New Issues

Hufbauer, Gary Clyde - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2008

This paper opens with a short recollection of the Kiel Week Conference of 2002, recorded in a volume edited by Horst Siebert, titled Global Governance: An Architecture for the World Economy. Assess-ments and forecasts made at that time are scored against subsequent developments. Security...

Analysing Bioenergy and Land Use Competition in a Coupled Modelling System: The Role of Bioenergy in Renewable Energy Policy in Germany

Delzeit, Ruth; Gömann, Horst; Holm-Müller, Karin; … - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2010

In the context of energy security and climate protection, biomass is given high importance. Nevertheless, land-use conflicts resulting from the cultivation of biomass and their economy-wide effects are yet to be fully understood. To shed light on this issue we link three distinctive models; a...
