Carbon leakage, the green paradox and perfect future markets

Eichner, Thomas; Pethig, Rüdiger - 2009

Policies of lowering carbon demand may aggravate rather than alleviate climate change (green paradox). In a two-period three-country general equilibrium model with finite endowment of fossil fuel one country enforces an emissions cap in the first or second period. When that cap is tightened the...

Interaction of carbon reduction and green energy promotion in a small fossil-fuel importing economy

Pethig, Rüdiger; Wittlich, Christian - 2009

We study the incidence of carbon-reduction and green-energy promotion policies in an open fossil-fuel importing general equilibrium economy. The focus is on mixed price-based or quantity-based policies. Instruments directed toward promoting green energy are shown to reduce also carbon emissions...

Efficient management of insecure fossil fuel Imports through taxing (!) domestic green energy?

Eichner, Thomas; Pethig, Rüdiger - 2010

A small open economy produces a consumer good, green and black energy, and imports fossil fuel at an uncertain price. Unregulated competitive markets are shown to be inefficient. The implied market failures are due to the agents' attitudes toward risk, to risk shifting and the uniform price for...

International carbon emissions trading and strategic incentives to subsidize green energy

Eichner, Thomas; Pethig, Rüdiger - 2010

This paper examines strategic incentives to subsidize green energy in a group of countries that operates an international carbon emissions trading scheme. Welfare-maximizing national governments have the option to discriminate against energy from fossil fuels by subsidizing green energy,...

Flattening the carbon extraction path in unilateral cost-effective action

Eichner, Thomas; Pethig, Rüdiger - 2011

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 …

A microfoundation of predator-prey dynamics

Eichner, Thomas; Pethig, Rüdiger - 2003

Predator-prey relationships account for an important part of all interactions between species. In this paper we provide a microfoundation for such predator-prey relations in a food chain. Basic entities of our analysis are representative organisms of species modelled similar to economic...

Profit tax competition and formula apportionment

Pethig, Rüdiger; Wagener, Andreas - 2003

We analyse tax competition with corporate income taxes in a common market where tax revenues are allocated according to an apportionment formula. Generally, tax competition is sharper (i.e., equilibrium tax rates are lower) the more tax-elastic is the apportionment formula. This depends on the...
