Environmental regulation of a global pollution externality in a bilateral trade framework: The case of global warming, China and the US

Gwatipedza, Johnson; Barbier, Edward B. - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2013

Bilateral trade and capital flows have increased substantially between the United States and China yielding economic gains to both countries. However, these beneficial bilateral relations also bring about global environmental consequences including greenhouse gas emissions. We develop a...

Including Maritime Transport in the EU´s Climate Change Policy: Country-Based Allocation and Effects

Heitmann, Nadine - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2013

The European Union (EU) is actively campaigning for the global regulation of carbon emissions generated by maritime bunker fuels because these emissions are presently barely regulated and are projected to increase significantly in the coming decades. However, since a global regulation has not...

The Potential Contribution of the Shipping Sector to an Efficient Reduction of Global Carbon Dioxide Emissions

Heitmann, Nadine; Peterson, Sonja - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2012

In this paper, we analyze how much the shipping sector could contribute to global CO2 emission reductions from an efficiency point of view. To do this, a marginal abatement cost curve (MACC) for the shipping sector is generated that can be combined with a MACC for conventional CO2 abatement in...

Informed and Uninformed Opinions on New Measures to Address Climate Change

Kniebes, Carola; Merk, Christine; Pönitzsch, Gert; … - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2014

Climate engineering (CE) and carbon capture and storage sub-seabed (CCS-S) are currently controversially debated options to address climate change. Our paper provides empirical evidence on the public perception of two different CE measures, namely, stratospheric sulphate injection (SSI) and...

Who bears the costs of climate change? Evidence from Tunisia

Wiebelt, Manfred; Al-Raffai, Perrihan; Breisinger, Clemens - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2014

In order to estimate the economic costs of climate change for Tunisia, this paper uses a combination of biophysical and economic models. In addition, the paper draws on the literature to complement the quantitative analysis with policy recommendations on how to adapt to the changing climate. The...

Uncertainty and economic analysis of climate change : a survey of approaches and findings

Peterson, Sonja - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2006

The analysis of climate change is confronted with large uncertainties that need to be taken into account to arrive at meaningful policy recommendations. The main contribution of economics to this interdisciplinary task is to provide formal frameworks and techniques for analyzing climate policy...

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...
