An international agreement with full participation to tackle the stock of greenhouse gases
Kratzsch, Uwe; Sieg, Gernot; Stegemann, Ulrike - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2011
This paper analyzes greenhouse gas emissions that build up an atmospheric stock which depreciates over time. Weakly renegotiation-proof and subgame perfect equilibria in a game of international emission reduction exist if countries put a sufficiently high weight on future payoffs, even though...

Exploiting Zero-Inflated Consumption Data using Propensity Score Matching and the Infrequency of Purchase Model, with Application to Climate Change Policy
Bardsley, Nicholas; Buechs, Milena - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2013
We apply propensity score matching (PSM) to the estimation of household motor fuel purchase quantities, to tackle problems caused by infrequency of purchase. The results are compared to an alternative, regression-based, imputation strategy using the infrequency of purchase model (IPM). Using...

How uncertainty reduces greenhouse gas emissions
Schenker, Oliver - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2011
China has becoming in 2006 the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases (GHG), responsible for one-fifth of world’s emissions from power generation. And further strong growth in this sector is to be expected. To provide these additional power generation capacities substantial investments...

Multicriterial Assessment of RES- and Energy-Efficiency Promoting Policy Mixes for Russian Federation
Didenko, Alexander - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2013
We focus on assessing RES- and energy-efficiency promoting policy mixes for Russia from multicriteria perspective with emphasis on GHG emission reduction. We start from two surveys: the first one studies country’s energy saving and RES potential to determine possible range of outcomes for...
