Integrating biodiversity indices into a multi-species optimal control model

Bertram, Christine - 2010

Biodiversity is often adversely affected by human activities. This reduces social welfare but may be external to … private economic decisions. Consequently, these external effects on biodiversity need to be considered explicitly in economic … models, which is only partly reflected in the literature. So far, biodiversity is mostly treated only implicitly in multiple …

The use of CCS in global carbon management: simulation with the DICE model

Narita, Daiju - 2008

This study attempts a numerical simulation of potential CCS (carbon dioxide capture and storage) use by using a modified version of the DICE (Dynamic Integrated model on Climate and Economy) model (Nordhaus, 1994; Nordhaus and Boyer, 2000). In DICE, CO2 emissions are controlled to the extent in...

A framework for environmental policy evaluation in the South African mining sector

Thiele, Rainer - 1998

This paper presents a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model for the analysis of environmental policies towards mining activities, and shows for the case of South Africa how it can be implemented numerically. The CGE model belongs to the class of static, trade-focussed models along the lines...

Globalisierung der Weltwirtschaft und Stoffströme

Klepper, Gernot - 2001

Der Globalisierungsprozess der Weltwirtschaft und seine Auswirkungen auf globale Stoffströme werden kontrovers diskutiert. Die einen sehen darin einen Wohlfahrtsgewinn für alle Volkswirtschaften, die sich der internationalen Arbeitsteilung geöffnet haben, die anderen befürchten soziale...

Carbon capture and storage & the optimal path of the carbon tax

Lontzek, Thomas S.; Rickels, Wilfried - 2008

In the presence of rising carbon concentrations more attention should be given to the role of the oceans as a sink for atmospheric carbon. We do so by setting up a simple dynamic global carbon cycle model with two reservoirs containing atmosphere and two ocean layers. The net flux between these...

Production Functions for Climate Policy Modeling: An Empirical Analysis

van der Werf, Edwin - 2007

Quantitative models for climate policy modeling differ in the production structure used and in the sizes of the elasticities of substitution. The empirical foundation for both is generally lacking. This paper estimates the parameters of two-level CES production functions with capital, labour and...

Stabilization and savings funds to manage natural resource revenues: Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan vs. Norway

Lücke, Matthias - 2010

Do the sovereign wealth funds of Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan promote the sustainable use of government oil revenues? We review the operational rules and performance of the two funds and compare them to Norway's Government Pension Fund Global. The key challenges are to stabilize government...

Der Preis des "Grünen Goldes": Informationen und Informationsdefizite über den Marktwert genetischer Ressourcen

Deke, Oliver - 2004

Genetische Ressourcen sind Lebewesen, die genetischen Informationen in sich tragen, welche für die biotechnologische Forschung und Entwicklung von Bedeutung sind. Angesichts eines sich beschleunigenden weltweiten Artenverlustes stellt sich die Frage, ob durch den privaten Handel mit genetische...

Sustainability and international trade in resources

Klepper, Gernot; Stähler, Frank - 1995

This paper discusses environmental policies which aim at a sustainable use of domestic resources which are mobile. It assumes that one country introduces such a policy but the other country does not. If a resource is mobile, strict domestic environmental policies may increase the resource...

Trade policy and environmental protection

Siebert, Horst - 1996

The paper analyzes the relationship between trade policy and environmental protection. National and global environmental issues are distinguished. In principle, there is no conflict between an institutional order for international trade and national environmental policy. Protectionism against...
