Doerrenberg, Philipp; Peichl, Andreas - 2014
Due to behavioral effects triggered by redistributional interventions, it is still an open question whether government policies are able to effectively reduce income inequality. We contribute to this research question by using different country-level data sources to study inequality trends in...

The Role of Transaction Costs and Risk Premia in the Determination of Climate Change Policy Responses
Stronzik, Marcus; Hunt, Alistair; Eckermann, Frauke; … - 2003
Transaction costs and risk have generally not been taken into account in assessing the Kyoto mechanisms JI, CDM and emissions trading. However, they can have a significant influence. With regard to the project-based mechanisms, the factor that most determines the influence of transaction costs...

Climate change and the irreversibility effect: combining expected utility and MaxiMin
Lange, Andreas - 2002
This paper analyzes decisions on emissions of a stock pollutant under uncertainty in a two period model. Decisions are based on a weighted average of expected utility (EU) and the MaxiMin criterion. I first show that more weight on the worst case (less weight on EU) may lead to increased first...

Politicians' opinions on rivals in the competition for firms: An empirical analysis of reference points near a border
Geys, Benny; Osterloh, Steffen - 2011
Studies of spatial policy interdependence in (local) public policies usually concentrate on the relations between jurisdictions within a single analysed region, and disregard possible extra-regional effects. This paper evaluates the validity of such restriction by studying German local...
