CO2 highways for Europe modeling a carbon capture, transport and storage infrastructure for Europe

Mendelevitch, Roman; Herold, Johannes; Oei, Pao-Yu; … - 2010

We present a mixed integer, multi-period, cost-minimizing carbon capture, transport and storage (CCTS) network model for Europe. The model incorporates endogenous decisions about carbon capture, pipeline and storage investments; capture, flow and injection quantities based on given costs,...

European electricity grid infrastructure expansion in a 2050 context

Egerer, Jonas; Gerbaulet, Clemens; Lorenz, Casimir - 2013

The European climate targets until 2050 require an adaptation of the generation portfolio in terms of renewable and fossil based generation. Assumptions on the timeline of the targets and the availability and costs of generation technologies are used in energy system models to optimize the cost...

European regional convergence in a human capital augmented solow model

Eckey, Hans-Friedrich (contributor); … - 2006

In this paper, the process of productivity convergence is investigated for the enlarged European Union using regional … control for spatial effects. All specifications confirm the presence of convergence with an annual speed between 3 and 3 … in the speed of convergence across the regions, where a higher speed is striking in particular in France and the UK …

Contribution to productivity or pork barrel? : The two faces of infrastructure investment

Cadot, Olivier (contributor); … - 2004 - [Elektronische Ressource], rev

This paper proposes a simultaneous-equation approach to the estimation of the contribution of transport infrastructure accumulation to regional growth. We model explicitly the political-economy process driving infrastructure investments; in doing so, we eliminate a potential source of bias in...

How many bucks in a bang : on the estimation of the economic costs of conflict

Groot, Olaf J. de; Brück, Tilman; Bozzoli, Carlos - 2009

The estimation of the costs of conflict is currently receiving a lot of attention in the literature. This paper aims to give a thorough overview of the existing literature, first by addressing the history of case studies that address conflict costs and second by looking at the existing body of...

Violent conflict and inequality

Bircan, Cagatay; Brück, Tilman; Vothknecht, Marc - 2010

This paper analyzes the distributive impacts of violent conflicts, which is in contrast to previous literature that has focused on the other direction. We use cross-country panel data for the time period 1960-2005 to estimate war-related changes in income inequality. Our results indicate rising...

Is there increasing regional specialisation within the general process of deindustrialisation?

Geppert, Kurt (contributor); Gornig, Martin (contributor); … - 2008

Trade theory and economic geography suggest that the removal of trade barriers is likely to bring about more economic specialisation and potentially more diverse development paths between countries and regions. Thus, the deepening and extending European integration should be accompanied by an...

Self-employment and economic performance : a geographically weighted regression approach for European regions

Pijnenburg, Katharina - 2013

The self-employment rate includes entrepreneurs out of opportunity and entrepreneurs out of necessity. While the effect of opportunity entrepreneurs on economic development should be positive, there should be no or a negative effect of necessity entrepreneurship. We use a geographically weighted...

Productivity differences in the European Union : national, regional and spatial effects

Geppert, Kurt; Gornig, Martin; Stephan, Andreas - 2003

Using panel data on European regions and applying Analysis of Covariance, our study provides an empirical assessment of the relative importance of national, regional and spatial factors for explaining variations of productivity. Our analysis shows that initial economic conditions or...

Communications on climate change and biodiversity loss with local populations : exploring best-practices and postcolonial moments in eight case studies from across the globe

Ansari, Dawud; Schönenberg, Regine; Abud, Melissa; … - 2021

Climate change and biodiversity loss trigger policies worldwide, many of which target or impact local communities. Although research, international development, and policy implementation (and, thus, success in fighting both threats) require thoughtful consideration and communication of the...
