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...

Green serves the dirtiest : on the interaction between Black and Green Quotas
Böhringer, Christoph; Rosendahl, Knut Einar - 2009
Tradable black (CO2) and green (renewables) quotas gain in popularity and stringency within climate policies of many OECD countries. The overlapping regulation through both instruments, however, may have important adverse economic implications. Based on stylized theoretical analysis and...

Subsidizing renewable energy under capital mobility
Eichner, Thomas; Runkel, Marco - 2010
This paper provides a rationale for subsidizing green (renewable) energy production. Within a multi-country model where energy is produced with mobile capital in green and dirty production, we investigate the countries' decentralized choice of emissions taxes and green energy subsidies. Without...

The impacts of feed-in tariffs on innovation : empirical evidence from Germany
Böhringer, Christoph; Cuntz, Alexander; Harhoff, Dietmar; … - 2014
Feed-in tariffs under the Renewable Energy Sources Act, the so-called Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz (EEG), have triggered a massive expansion of electricity from renewable energy sources in Germany over the last decade. The increase in non-competitive renewable power generation though went hand in...

Current account imbalances and structural adjustment in the Euro area : how to rebalance competitiveness
Zemanek, Holger; Belke, Ansgar; Schnabl, Gunther - 2009
Low international competitiveness of a set of euro area countries, which have become evident by large current account deficits and rising risk premiums on government bonds, is one of the most challenging economic policy issues for Europe. We analyse the role of private restructuring and public...

Mitigating carbon leakage : combining output-based rebating with a consumption tax
Böhringer, Christoph; Rosendahl, Knut Einar; … - 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...
