The effect of regulatory scrutiny asymmetric cost pass-through in power wholesale and its end
Mokinski, Frieder; Wölfing, Nikolas - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2013
We find an asymmetric pass-through of European Emission Allowance (EUA) prices to wholesale electricity prices in Germany and show that this asymmetry has disappeared in response to a report on investigations by the competition authority. The asymmetric pricing pattern, however, was not detected...

Contraction of global carbon emissions: how acceptable are alternative emission entitlement schemes
Böhringer, Christoph; Welsch, Heinz - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2001
The allocation of emissions entitlements across countries is the single most controversial issue in international climate policy. Extreme positions within the policy debate range from entitlement based on current emission patterns (CEP) to equal-per-capita (EPC) allocations.Convergence (COV)...

Assessing Voluntary Commitments: Monitoring is Not Enough!
Böhringer, Christoph; Frondel, Manuel - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2002
This paper deals with a special type of voluntary approach to protect the environment, for example, that we would like to term voluntary commitment. Its major characteristic is that it represents a unilateral declaration without a decisively active role of regulators. In other words, voluntary...

Decomposing the cost of Kyoto: a global CGE analysis of multilateral policy impacts
Böhringer, Christoph; Rutherford, Thomas F. - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2000
We decompose the economic implications of the Kyoto Protocol at the cross-country level, splitting the total economic impact for each region into contributions from its own emission abatement policy and those from other regions. Our analysis which is based on a large-scale computable general...

Cooling down hot air: a global CGE analysis of post-Kyoto carbon abatement strategies
Böhringer, Christoph - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 1999
The Kyoto Protocol marks a break-through in global warming mitigation policies as it sets legally binding emissions targets for major emitting regions. However, realisation of the Protocol depends on the clarification of several issues one of which is the permissible scope of international...

In Search of a Rationale for Differentiated Environmental Taxes
Rutherford, Thomas F.; Böhringer, Christoph - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2002
Environmental tax schemes in OECD countries often involve tax rates differentiated across industrial, commercial and household sectors. In this paper, we investigate four potentially important arguments for these deviations from uniform taxation: pre-existing tax distortions, domestic equity...

C & C - contraction and convergence of carbon emissions: the economic implications of permit trading
Böhringer, Christoph; Welsch, Heinz - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 1999
In the context of climate protection policy it has been suggested that global CO2 emissions should be reduced significantly (contraction) and that per capita emissions should gradually be equalized across countries (convergence). This paper uses a dynamic multi-region computable general...

Ex-post assessment of merger effects: the case of Pfizer and Pharmacia (2003)
Leheyda, Nina; Beschorner, Patrick; Hüschelrath, Kai - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2011
The paper studies the effects of the Pfizer and Pharmacia (2003) merger on competition in the Swiss pharmaceutical … market and compares the assessment of the Swiss Competition Commission (COMCO) with the post-merger market developments. We … find that the merger has had a miniscule impact on the Swiss pharmaceutical market. This has primarily to do with the fact …
