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...

Efficiency Losses from Overlapping Economic Instruments in European Carbon Emissions Regulation
Böhringer, Christoph; Koschel, Henrike; Moslener, Ulf - 2006
Energy markets and energy-intensive industries in all EU member states – especially in Germany – are subject to a diverse set of policies related to climate change. We analyse the potential efficiency losses from simultaneous application of emission taxes and emissions trading in qualitative...

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...

Methoden der angewandten Wirtschaftsforschung: Eine Einführung in die numerische Gleichgewichtsanalyse
Böhringer, Christoph; Wiegard, Wolfgang - 2003
Shoven und Whalley, die Wegbereiter der angewandten Gleichgewichtsanalyse, haben in ihrem bekannten JEL-Übersichtsartikel von 1984 das Los der Gleichgewichtsmodellierer als ?jack of all trades? beklagt. Ziel unseres Beitrags ist es, angenehmere ?Wege zum Gleichgewicht? aufzuzeigen. Unser...

Measuring Sustainable Development: The Use of Computable General Equilibrium Models
Böhringer, Christoph; Löschel, Andreas - 2004
This paper advocates computable general equilibrium models as a methodological tool that is particularly suitable for measuring the impacts of policy interference on the three dimensions of sustainable development, i.e. environmental quality, economic performance (gross efficiency) and equity....

Integrating Bottom-Up into Top-Down: A Mixed Complementarity Approach
Böhringer, Christoph; Rutherford, Thomas F. - 2005
We motivate the formulation of market equilibria as a mixed complementarity problem (MCP) in order to bridge the gap between bottom-up energy system models and top-down general equilibrium models for energy policy analysis. Our objective is primarily pedagogic. We first lay out that the MCP...

Decomposing Integrated Assessment Climate Change
Böhringer, Christoph; Löschel, Andreas; Rutherford, … - 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...

Combining Top-Down and Bottom-up in Energy Policy Analysis: A Decomposition Approach
Rutherford, Thomas F.; Böhringer, Christoph - 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...

Die Kosten des Klimaschutzes: Eine Interpretationshilfe für die mit quantitativen Wirtschaftsmodellen ermittelten Kostenschätzungen
Böhringer, Christoph - 1999
Die Klimaschutzdiskussion wird von der Frage dominiert, welche gesamtwirtschaftlichen Kosten mit der Umgestaltung des Energiesystems zu klimaverträglichen Strukturen verbunden sind. Höhe und Verteilung dieser Kosten entscheiden darüber, ob sich umweltpolitische Strategien zum nachhaltigen...
