Determinants of technology transfer through CDM : the case of China
Weitzel, Matthias; Liu, Wan-hsin; Vaona, Andrea - 2013
China. China is by far the largest host country of CDM projects and it is therefore crucial to understand the factors that …

Estimating the marginal abatement costs of carbon dioxide emissions in China : a parametric analysis
Du, Limin; Hanley, Aoife; Wei, Chu - 2013
This paper investigates the technical inefficiency, shadow price and substitution elasticity of CO2 emissions of China … output distance function, we show that China’s technical inefficiency increases over the period implying further scope for CO …). Additionally, increasingly steep substitution elasticity highlights the difficult reality of reducing China’s CO2 emissions. …

China’s CO2 emissions from power generating stations : a first exploration
Du, Limin; Hanley, Aoife; Rehdanz, Katrin - 2014
Our analysis is the first of its kind to explore patterns of subsidization and CO2 emissions in China’s electricity … producing sector. Applying data for all power plants across China and controlling for the age, capacity and location of … disproportionate share of CO2 emissions. This distortion is incongruent with China’s aspiration for a greener economy but may be …

Does foreign aid reduce energy and carbon intensities in developing countries?
Kretschmer, Bettina; Hübler, Michael; Nunnenkamp, Peter - 2010
Advanced OECD countries are widely held responsible to contain global carbon emissions by providing financial and technical support to developing economies, where emissions are increasing most rapidly. It is open to question, however, whether more generous official development assistance would...

Does aid for education attract foreign investors? : an empirical analysis for Latin America
Donaubauer, Julian; Herzer, Dierk; Nunnenkamp, Peter - 2012
We address the question of whether foreign aid helps attract foreign direct investment (FDI). This could be achieved if well targeted aid removed critical impediments to higher FDI inflows. In particular, test the hypothesis that aid for education is an effective means to increase FDI flows to...

An evaluation of approaches for quantifying emissions from indirect land use change
Delzeit, Ruth; Klepper, Gernot; Söder, Mareike - 2016
The contribution of biofuels to save greenhouse gas emissions has been challenged over the last years. A still unresolved question is how to quantify emissions from indirect land use change (iLUC). In this paper we review approaches to quantify iLUC-emissions. We conclude that economic...

Economic incentives for carbon dioxide storage under uncertainty : a real options analysis
Narita, Daiju; Klepper, Gernot - 2015
Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is considered to be an important option for reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. However, there are still concerns about its economic viability, especially if the risk of leakage in the storage site is taken into account. We use a real options...

Accounting for CO2 emissions from international shipping : burden sharing under different UNFCCC allocation options and regime scenarios
Heitmann, Nadine; Khalilian, Setareh - 2010
CO2 emissions from international shipping, which are currently unregulated, are predicted to rise from 2.7% today to 18% in 2050. International bunker fuel emissions have been excluded from any commitment in the Kyoto Protocol; the UNFCCC conference in Copenhagen also failed to bring about clear...

EU biofuel policies in practise : a carbon map for the Llanos orientales in Colombia
Söder, Mareike; Suarez, César Freddy - 2013
It is still difficult for biofuel producers to prove the contribution of their biofuels to reducing carbon emissions because the production of biofuel feedstocks can cause land use change (LUC), which in turn causes carbon emissions. A carbon map can serve as a basis to proof such contribution....
