Hold-up Problems with Respect to R&D Investment and Licensing in Environmental Regulation

Breitscheidel, Jörg - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2005

We explore the design of self-financing tax-subsidy schemes to solve hold-up problems in environmental regulation. The announcement of the tax rate seems to be preferable to solve hold-up problems with respect to the investment in environmental R&D. In contrast, only the announcement of the...

The Impact of the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme on Competitiveness in Europe

Oberndorfer, Ulrich; Rennings, Klaus - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2006

This literature review analyses the impacts of the EU ETS on competitiveness focussing on existing simulation studies. We have identified the choice of the reference scenario as the most critical issue for an appropriate analysis of the relevant literature. We find, however, that effects of the...
