Assessing Emission Allocation in Europe: An Interactive Simulation Approach

Löschel, Andreas; Lange, Andreas; Hoffmann, Tim; … - 2004

Implementation of an EU-wide emissions trading system by means of National Allocation Plans is at the core of European environmental policy agenda. Member States are faced with the problem of allocating their national emission budgets under the EU Burden Sharing Agreement between...

Regional Income Convergence in the Enlarged Europe, 1995-2000: A Spatial Econometric Perspective

Fischer, Manfred M.; Stirböck, Claudia - 2004

This paper adopts a spatial econometric perspective to analyse regional convergence of per capita income in Europe in 1995 to 2000 and, moreover, relaxes the assumption of a single steady-state growth path which appears to be out of tune with reality of empirical dynamics. The two-club spatial...

A Spatial Econometric Analysis of Regional Specialisation Patterns Across EU Regions

Stirböck, Claudia - 2004

This paper conducts a spatial econometric analysis of the determinants of regional specialisation patterns. Spatial autocorrelation is present, but is mostly due to spatial error autocorrelation. Spatial interaction due to economic interdependencies is only evident for some few labour-intensive...

Capital Mobility within EMU

Stirböck, Claudia; Heinemann, Friedrich - 1999

Capital mobility is helpful to cope with the loss of adjustment instruments in EMU. High capital mobility in the sense of Feldstein and Horioka (FH) can limit the negative consequences of shocks affecting the saving capacity of an economy in the Eurozone. It is the aim of this paper to assess...

What Determines Relative Sectoral Investment Patterns in EU Regions?

Stirböck, Claudia - 2002

This study analyses relative sectoral investment patterns in EU regions. In an exploratory spatial data analysis, spatial clusters of high relative investments can be identified for some sectors. In the econometric analysis, we control for heteroscedasticity and potential endogeneity and find...

Explaining the Level of Relative Investment Specialisation: A Spatial Econometric Analysis of EU Regions

Stirböck, Claudia - 2002

This paper analyses the level of relative specialisation in terms of gross fixed capital formation in EU regions. Larger market and regional sizes diminish; a higher unemployment rate, population density, the fact of being a central region, the distance to the economic centre, and economic...

Climate Policy and the Problem of Competitiveness: Border Tax Adjustments or Integrated Emission Trading?

Löschel, Andreas; Alexeeva-Talebi, Victoria; Mennel, Tim - 2008

In the absence of an international agreement on climate policy, unilateral carbon abatement creates two problems: It tends to have a detrimental effect on domestic competitiveness, and it leads to an increase in carbon emissions abroad (leakage). This paper analyses two policies that have...
