Designing an emissions trading scheme for China: An up-to-date climate policy assessment

Hübler, Michael; Löschel, Andreas; Voigt, Sebastian - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2014

We assess recent Chinese climate policy proposals in a multi-region, multi-sector computable general equilibrium model with a Chinese carbon emissions trading scheme (ETS). When the emissions intensity per GDP in 2020 is required to be 45% lower than in 2005, the model simulations indicate that...

On the effects of unilateral environmental policy on offshoring in multi-stage production processes

Schenker, Oliver; Koesler, Simon; Löschel, Andreas - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2014

In the last decades supply chains emerged that stretch across many countries. This has been explained with decreasing trade and communication costs. We extend the literature by analyzing if and how unilateral environmental regulation induces offshoring to unregulated jurisdictions. We first...

Modeling technological change in economic models of climate change: A survey

Löschel, Andreas; Schymura, Michael - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2013

The assessment of climate change mitigation policies through economic modeling depends crucially on assumptions under which technological change has been incorporated in the model. Earlier climate-energy-economics modeling attempts heavily relied on the assumption of exogenous technological...

The Basic WIOD CGE Model: A computable general equilibrium model based on the World Input-Output Database

Koesler, Simon; Pothen, Frank - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2013

This report presents the Basic WIOD CGE model. The model represents the first implementation of the World Input …-Output Database (WIOD) into the CGE framework and is tailored to provide a maximum fit with WIOD data. The model is specifically … when using CGE models for future research. …

Estimation of sectoral elasticities of substitution along the international technology frontier

Baccianti, Claudio - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2013

Sectoral heterogeneity is crucial to address several economic questions. This paper provides a detailed mapping of sectoral production possibility frontiers, using different nesting structures and levels of aggregation (primary, secondary, tertiary activities and energy-intensive firms)....

Terms-of-trade and the funding of adaptation to climate change and variability: An empirical analysis

Schenker, Oliver; Stephan, Gunter - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2012

This paper analyses the interplay between international trade, regional adaptation and North-to-South transfers for funding adaptation within the framework of a dynamic computable gen-eral equilibrium model, where impacts of climate change depend on changes in precipitation and temperature. If...

Technological change in economic models of environmental policy: a survey

Löschel, Andreas - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2001

This paper provides an overview of the treatment of technological change in economic models of environmental policy. Numerous economic modeling studies have confirmed the sensitivity of mid- and long-run climate change mitigation cost and benefit projections to assumptions about technology...
