?Innovation und Technischer Fortschritt im Energiebereich? ist das Thema des Modellexperiment V des Forums für Energiemodelle. In diesem Zusammenhang sollen die am Experiment beteiligten Modelle in Bezug auf die Abbildung von technischem Fortschritt verbessert und unterschiedliche Szenarien...

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...

The upcoming European Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) is one of the more controversial climate policy instruments. Predictions about its likely impact and its performance can at present only be made to a certain degree. As long as the National Allocations Plans are not finally settled the overall...

The objective of this paper is to assess the likely allocation effects of the current climate protection strategy as it is laid out in the National Allocation Plans (NAPs) for the European Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). The multi-regional, multi-sectoral CGE-model DART is used to simulate the...
