Extreme weather events and economic activity : the case of low water levels on the Rhine river
Ademmer, Martin; Jannsen, Nils; Mösle, Saskia - 2020
In this paper, we exploit exogenous variation in navigability of the Rhine river to analyze the impact of weather-related supply shocks on economic activity in Germany. Our analysis shows that low water levels lead to transportation disruptions that cause a significant and economically...

Worse off from reduced cost? : the role of policy design under uncertain technological advancement
Weitzel, Matthias - 2014
A simple model is used to illustrate the effects of a reduction in (marginal) abatement cost in a two country setting. It can be shown that a the country experiencing a cost reduction can actually be worse off. This holds true for a variety of quantity and price based emission policies. The most...

Estimating the marginal abatement cost curve of CO2 emissions in China : provincial panel data analysis
Du, Limin; Hanley, Aoife; Wei, Chu - 2015
This paper estimates the Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC) of CO2 emissions in China based on a provincial panel for the period of 2001-2010. The provincial marginal abatement cost (MAC) of CO2 emissions is estimated using a parameterized directional output distance function. Four types of...
