Technological Transfers in Global Climate Policy

Buchholz, Wolfgang - 2015

Theoretical analysis and empirical evidence show that leadership behavior in climate policy through increased abatement efforts or international transfers cannot be expected to be very successful. In this paper we instead show that pioneering activities, which are based on green technological...

Justifying the Lindahl Solution as an Outcome of Fair Cooperation

Buchholz, Wolfgang; Peters, Wolfgang - 2021

The Lindahl equilibrium is mostly motivated by a rather artificial price mechanism. Even though the analogy to a competitive market has been emphasised by Lindahl himself his approach does not directly explain the normative ideas, which are behind this concept. In the present paper we therefore...

Climate Policy Without Commitment

Golombek, Rolf - 2013

Climate mitigation policy should be imposed over a long period, and spur development of new technologies in order to make stabilization of green house gas concentrations economically feasible. The government may announce current and future policy packages that stimulate current R&D in...

Technology Transfers for Climate Change

Elsayyad, May - 2014

This paper considers investments in cost-reducing technology in the context of contributions to climate protection. Contributions to mitigating climate change are analyzed in a two-period model where later contributions can be based on better information, but delaying the contribution to the...

Non-Cooperative and Cooperative Climate Policies with Anticipated Breakthrough Technology

Jaakkola, Niko - 2018

Global warming can be curbed by pricing carbon emissions and thus substituting fossil fuel with renewable energy consumption. Breakthrough technologies (e.g., fusion energy) can reduce the cost of such policies. However, the chance of such a technology coming to market depends on investment. We...

Climate Policy and Development

Gersbach, Hans - 2015

We propose a development-compatible refunding system designed to mitigate climate change. Industrial countries pay an initial fee into a global fund. Each country chooses its national carbon tax. Part of the global fund is refunded to developing and industrial countries, in proportion to the...

Pareto Improving Climate Policies : Distributing the Benefits Across Generations and Regions

Hoel, Michael - 2015

Most studies show that the present generation has to take the burden and reduce consumption to mitigate future climate change. However, significant climate change is due to a market failure, and corrections of market failures give possibilities of Pareto improvements. In this paper, we study the...

Measuring Unfair Inequality : Reconciling Equality of Opportunity and Freedom from Poverty

Hufe, Paul - 2018

Rising income inequalities are widely debated in public and academic discourse. In this paper, we contribute to this debate by proposing a new family of measures of unfair inequality. To do so, we acknowledge that inequality is not bad per se, but that its underlying sources need to be taken...

What's the Monetary Value of Distributive Justice?

Corneo, Giacomo; Fong, Christina M. - 2021

This paper proposes a model that can be implemented to estimate the willingness to pay for distributive justice. A … formula is derived that allows one to recover the willingness to pay for distributive justice from the estimated coefficients … monetary value of justice in the United States is about one fifth of GDP. We find no evidence that the value of justice varies …
