Internationally Coordinated Emission Permit Policies : An Option for Withdrawers from the Kyoto Protocol?
Bednar-Friedl, Birgit - 2014

The European Union's Potential for Strategic Emissions Trading Through Minimal Permit Sale Contracts
Eyckmans, Johan; Hagem, Cathrine - 2021
Strategic market behavior by permit sellers will harm the European Union as the EU as a whole is expected to become a large net buyer of permits in a follow-up agreement to the Kyoto Protocol. In this paper we explore how the EU could benefit from making permit trade agreements with non-EU...

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...

The Carbon-Budget Approach to Climate Stabilization : Cost-Effective Subglobal Versus Global Action
Eichner, Thomas - 2010
Scientific expertise suggests that mitigating extreme world-wide climate change damages requires avoiding increases in … the world mean temperature exceeding 2° Celsius. To achieve the two degree target, the cumulated global emissions must not …

Flattening the Carbon Extraction Path in Unilateral Cost-Effective Action
Eichner, Thomas - 2014
Internalizing the global negative externality of carbon emissions requires flattening the extraction path of world … fossil energy resources (= world carbon emissions). We consider governments having sign-unconstrained emission taxes at their … disposal and seeking to prevent world emissions from exceeding some binding aggregate emission ceiling in the medium term. Such …

Can Degrowth Overcome the Leakage Problem of Unilateral Climate Policy
Larch, Mario - 2017
Unilateral climate policy suffers from carbon leakage, i.e. the (partial) offset of the initial emission reduction by increases in other countries. Different than most typically discussed climate policies, degrowth not only aims at reducing the fossil fuel use in an economy, but rather at a...

Mitigating Carbon Leakage : Combining Output-Based Rebating with a Consumption Tax
Boehringer, Christoph - 2015
Unilateral climate policy induces carbon leakage through the relocation of emission-intensive and trade-exposed industries to regions with no or more lenient emission regulation. Both analytical and numerical studies suggest that emission pricing combined with border carbon adjustments may be a...

Efficient CO2 Emissions Control with National Emissions Taxes and International Emissions Trading
Eichner, Thomas; Pethig, Rudiger - 2021
In a group of countries like the European Union all countries seek to achieve their national CO2 emissions target by a joint emissions trading scheme covering some part of their economies (trading sector) and by a national emissions tax in the rest of their economies (nontrading sector)....

The Safe Carbon Budget
van der Ploeg, Rick - 2017
Cumulative emissions drive peak global warming and determine the safe carbon budget compatible with staying below 2oC or 1.5oC. The safe carbon budget is lower if uncertainty about the transient climate response is high and risk tolerance low. Together with energy costs this budget determines...

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...
