Strategy choice in the infinitely repeated prisoners' dilemma
Dal Bó, Pedro; Fréchette, Guillaume R. - 2013
We use a novel experimental design to identify the subjects' strategies in an infinitely repeated prisoners' dilemma … experiment. We ask subjects to design strategies that will play in their place. We find that eliciting strategies has negligible … effects on their behavior, supporting the validity of this method. We find the chosen strategies include some common ones such …

Cost leadership and bank internationalization
Galema, Rients; Koetter, Michael; Liesegang, Caroline - 2013
We adapt a theoretical model from the goods trade literature to test whether banks with a comparative cost advantage are more likely to enter foreign markets by means of foreign direct investment. We combine detailed proprietary bank-level data on the international activities of all German banks...

Corporate carbon reduction pledges : an effective tool to mitigate climate change?
Comello, Stephen; Reichelstein, Julia; Reichelstein, Stefan - 2021
In the intensifying public debate about limiting the harmful effects of climate change, many global corporations have recently articulated so-called “net-zero” goals for reducing and ultimately eliminating their own greenhouse gas emissions. We first examine the details ofthe carbon...

Fueling electrification : the impact of gas prices on hybrid car usage
Grigolon, Laura; Park, Eunseong; Remmy, Kevin - 2024
We use micro-level data on fuel consumption, mileage, and travel mode to study plug-in hybrid drivers’ response to fuel prices. When fuel prices rise, plug-in hybrids reduce fuel consumption more than gasoline and diesel cars. They do not reduce their mileage but increase electric recharging,...

Cost-efficient pathways to decarbonizing Portland cement production
Glenk, Gunther; Kelnhofer, Anton; Meier, Rebecca; … - 2023
Accounting for nearly 8% of global annual carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, the cement industry is considered difficult to decarbonize. While a sizeable number of abatement levers for Portland cement production are technologically ready for deployment, many are still viewed as prohibitively...

The green Paradox and Learning-by-Doing in the renewable energy sector
Nachtigall, Daniel; Rübbelke, Dirk T. G. - 2014
The green paradox conveys the idea that climate policies may have unintended side effects when taking into account the reaction of fossil fuel suppliers. In particular, carbon taxes that will be implemented in the future induce resource owners to extract more rapidly which increases present...

On the emissions-inequality trade-off in energy taxation : evidence on the German car fuel tax
Nikodinoska, Dragana; Schröder, Carsten - 2015
By using estimates from an Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS), we investigate how the German energy tax on car fuels changes the private households-CO2 emissions, living standards, and post-tax income distribution. Our results show that the tax implies a trade-off between the aim to reduce...

Climate change and individual behavior
Bernard, René; Tzamourani, Panagiota; Weber, Michael - 2022
This paper studies the causal effect of providing information about climate changeon individuals’ willingness to pay to offset carbon emissions in a randomizedcontrol trial. Receiving truthful information about ways to reduce CO2 emis-sions increases individuals’ willingness to pay for CO2...
