Carbon taxes and general joint implementation : an applied general equilibrium analysis for Germany and India
Böhringer, Christoph; Conrad, Klaus; Löschel, Andreas - 2000
Germany has committed itself to reducing its carbon emissions by 25 percent in 2005 as compared to 1990 emission levels … reduction possibilities elsewhere. One concrete option for Germany would be to enter joint implementation with developing … countries such as India where Germany pays emission reduction abroad rather than meeting its reduction target solely by domestic …

Energy taxes and employment : a do-it-yourself simulation model
Böhringer, Christoph; Ruocco, Anna; Wiegard, Wolfgang - 2001
Our paper deals with the welfare and employment effects of green tax reforms. In the first part we develop a flexible, interactive simulation model which is accessible under http://brw.zew.de. Users can specify their own green tax reforms or emission quotas and quantify welfare and employment...

The cost of phasing out nuclear power : a quantitative assessment of alternative scenarios for Germany
Böhringer, Christoph; Hoffmann, Tim; Vögele, Stefan - 2000
In the debate on the premature phase-out of nuclear power generation in Germany, there is an intense dispute on the …-out scenarios for Germany and its specific plant structure as well as plant-ownership by companies. However, the issues and …

Assessing voluntary commitments : monitoring is not enough!
Böhringer, Christoph; Frondel, Manuel - 2002
This paper deals with a special type of voluntary approach to protect the environment, for example, that we would like to term voluntary commitment. Its major characteristic is that it represents a unilateral declaration without a decisively active role of regulators. In other words, voluntary...

Economic implications of alternative allocation schemes for emission allowances : a theoretical and applied analysis
Böhringer, Christoph; Lange, Andreas - 2003
Political feasibility of emission trading systems may crucially depend on the free initial allocation of emission allowances to energy-intensive industries in order to ameliorate adverse production and employment effects. We investigate the potential trade-off between such compensation and...

Combining top-down and bottom-up in energy policy analysis : a decomposition approach
Böhringer, Christoph (contributor);  … - 2006
The formulation of market equilibrium problems as mixed complementarity problems (MCP) permits integration of bottom-up programming models of the energy system into top-down general equilibrium models of the overall economy. Despite the coherence and logical appeal of the integrated MCP...

Decomposing integrated assessment climate change
Böhringer, Christoph (contributor);  … - 2005
We present a decomposition approach for integrated assessment modeling of climate policy based on a linear approximation of the climate system. Our objective is to demonstrate the usefulness of decomposition for integrated assessment models posed in a complementarity format. First, the...
