Knowledge Production in Nanomaterials: An Application of Spatial Filtering to Regional Systems of Innovation

Patuelli, Roberto; Grimpe, Christoph - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2008

Nanomaterials are seen as a key technology for the 21st Century, and much is expected of them in terms of innovation and economic growth. They could open the way to many radically new applications, which would form the basis of innovative products. In this context, it seems all the more...

German car buyers' willingness to pay to reduce CO2 emissions

Achtnicht, Martin - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2012

Motorized individual transport strongly contributes to global CO2 emissions, due to its intensive usage of fossil fuels. Current political efforts addressing this issue (i.e. emission performance standards in the EU) are directed towards car manufacturers. This paper focuses on the demand side....

Accounting for uncertainty in willingness to pay for environmental benefits

Daziano, Ricardo A.; Achtnicht, Martin - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2013

Previous literature on the distribution of willingness to pay has focused on its heterogeneity distribution without addressing exact interval estimation. In this paper we derive and analyze Bayesian confidence sets for quantifying uncertainty in the determination of willingness to pay for carbon...

The demand for climate protection: An empirical assessment for Germany

Löschel, Andreas; Sturm, Bodo; Vogt, Carsten - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2010

In this paper, we investigate the real demand for climate protection. For this purpose we conducted a framed field experiment with a sample of the residential population in Mannheim, Germany. Participants were endowed with € 40 and given the opportunity to contribute to climate protection by...

German car buyers' willingness to pay to reduce CO2 emissions

Achtnicht, Martin - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2009

Motorised individual transport strongly contributes to global CO2 emissions, due to its intensive usage of fossil fuels. Current political efforts addressing this issue (i.e. emission performance standards in the EU) are directed towards car manufacturers. This paper focuses on the demand side....

Dismantling of a breakthrough: the Kyoto Protocol - just symbolic policy!

Böhringer, Christoph; Vogt, Carsten - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2002

We show that U.S. withdrawal from the Kyoto Protocol is straightforward under political economy considerations. The reason is that U.S. compliance costs exceed low willingness to pay for dealing with global warming in the U.S. The withdrawal had a crucial impact on the concretion of the Protocol...

Do environmental benefits matter? A choice experiment among house owners in Germany

Achtnicht, Martin - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2010

Residential buildings strongly contribute to global CO2 emissions due to the high energy demand for electricity and heating, particularly in industrialised countries. Within the EU, decentralised heat generation is of particular relevance for future climate policy, as its emissions are not...

What drives WTP for energy efficiency when moving? Evidence from a Germany-wide household survey

Kesternich, Martin - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2010

The political discussion on energy efficiency is focusing more and more on the building sector due to its susceptibility to potential market failures like the negative external pollution effects of CO2 emission. Using a discrete choice approach, this paper aims at deriving factors which increase...

Revealed preferences for climate protection when the purely individual perspective is relaxed: Evidence from a framed field experiment

Löschel, Andreas; Sturm, Bodo; Uehleke, Reinhard - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2013

In this paper, we investigate the real demand for climate protection when the purely individual perspective of existing revealed preference studies is relaxed. This is achieved in two treatments; first, we determine the information subjects receive about the demand revealed by other subjects in...

Competition and trust: Evidence from German car manufacturers

Felli, Leonardo; Koenen, Johannes; Stahl, Konrad O. - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2011

We explore the determinants and effects of trust relationships between upstream suppliers and downstream producers … different measures of supplier-buyer trust, that higher levels of trust mitigate relationship-specific underinvestment in a … classical hold-up situation. Moreover, contrary to the extant literature, we show that higher levels of supplier's trust are …
