Designing an emissions trading scheme for China: An up-to-date climate policy assessment
Hübler, Michael; Löschel, Andreas; Voigt, Sebastian - 2014
We assess recent Chinese climate policy proposals in a multi-region, multi-sector computable general equilibrium model with a Chinese carbon emissions trading scheme (ETS). When the emissions intensity per GDP in 2020 is required to be 45% lower than in 2005, the model simulations indicate that...

Terms-of-trade and the funding of adaptation to climate change and variability: An empirical analysis
Schenker, Oliver; Stephan, Gunter - 2012
This paper analyses the interplay between international trade, regional adaptation and North-to-South transfers for funding adaptation within the framework of a dynamic computable gen-eral equilibrium model, where impacts of climate change depend on changes in precipitation and temperature. If...

International trade and the adaptation to climate change and variability
Stephan, Gunter; Schenker, Oliver - 2012
This paper has three messages mainly, which are observed in a simple model of climate change, international trade and regional adaptation. First, trade can be viewed as a kind of adaptation to climate change and variability, as trade can help to reduce direct impacts of global climate change on...

Macroeconomic Impacts of the Clean Development Mechanism: The Role of Investment Barriers and Regulations
Anger, Niels; Böhringer, Christoph; Moslener, Ulf - 2007
This paper quantifies the macroeconomic impacts of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) under the Kyoto Protocol based … on a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of international trade and energy use. Employing project-based CDM supply … data we assess the relative importance of transaction costs and investment risks as well as CDM regulations through …

Pollution externalities in a Schumpeterian growth model
Koesler, Simon - 2010
This paper extends a standard Schumpeterian growth model to include an environmental dimension. Thereby, it explicitly links the pollution intensity of economic activity to technological progress. In a second step, it investigates the effect of pollution on economic growth under the assumption...
