Subsistence level and theory of the welfare state
Eichner, Thomas - 1999
In a broader sense the welfare state ex ante can be seen as a social insurance for life-time risks, and ex post as a redistribution mechanism of incomes. Sinn (1995) has developed a normative theory of the welfare state in this view. On a constitutional plain agents determine the amount of...

Unilateral reduction of medium-term carbon emissions via taxing emissions and consumption
Eichner, Thomas; Pethig, Rüdiger - 2011
has at its disposal sign-unconstrained taxes on emissions in both periods, as in Eichner and Pethig (2011b), but in the … use of consumption taxes along with emission taxes in its unilateral cost-effective ceiling policy. We identify cost … taxes whose rates are negative in the second period but may take on either sign in the first period. …

The carbon-budget approach to climate stabilization: Costeffective subglobal versus global action
Eichner, Thomas; Pethig, Rüdiger - 2010
Scientific expertise suggests that mitigating extreme world-wide climate change damages requires avoiding increases in the world mean temperature exceeding 2ê Celsius. To achieve the two degree target, the cumulated global emissions must not exceed some limit, the so-called global carbon...

The state as social insurer, labour supply and investments in human capital
Eichner, Thomas - 1998
In this paper the welfare state is considered as insurance device. Redistributive taxation reduces the variance of life- time risk. Behind a veil of ignorance with regard to future position in society, agents decide in a two-parametric expectation/standard deviation-approach about labour supply...

Gebührenstrategien in einem disaggregierten Modell der Abfallwirtschaft
Eichner, Thomas; Pethig, Rüdiger - 2000
In der vorliegenden Studie überprüfen wir verschiedene Gebührenstrategien der Dualen System Deutschland AG (DSD) darauf hin, ob sie die pareto-effiziente Allokation in der Abfallwirtschaft implementieren. Dabei greifen wir auf eine disaggregierte Modellökonomie zurück, in der Material...
