Does the stick make the carrot more attractive? State mandates and uptake of renewable heating technologies

Achtnicht, Martin; Germeshausen, Robert; von … - 2017

In this paper, we investigate the effect of the state-level renewable heating mandate for existing homes in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany's third largest federal state. The mandate requires homeowners to supply at least 10 % of their heat demand with renewable energy when they replace their...

Auctioning of CO2 Emission Allowances in Phase 3 of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme

Benz, Eva; Löschel, Andreas; Sturm, Bodo - 2008

The 'Climate action and renewable energy package' proposed by the European Commission in the beginning of 2008 suggests auctioning as basic principle for allocation for the upcoming third trading phase of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme that runs from 2013 to 2020. Overall, it is estimated that...

Ups and downs: How economic growth affects policy interactions

Flues, Florens; Löschel, Andreas; Lutz, Benjamin Johannes - 2013

Current climate and energy policy has to operate under an ex-ante unforeseen economic crisis. An obvious consequence is the collapse of prices for carbon emission allowances as, for example, seen in the European Union. However, this price collapse may be amplified by the interaction of a carbon...

Do voluntary environmental programs reduce emissions? EMAS in the German manufacturing sector

Kube, Roland; von Graevenitz, Kathrine; Löschel, Andreas; … - 2019

Voluntary environmental management programs for firms have become an increasingly popular instrument of environmental policy. However, the literature's conclusion on the effectiveness of such programs is ambiguous, and for the European region there is a lack of evidence based on a large control...

State mandates on renewable heating technologies and the housing market

Germeshausen, Robert; von Graevenitz, Kathrine - 2019

We study the effect of a state level mandate on renewable heating technologies on the housing market. The mandate requires a minimum share of 10 % renewable energy sources when changing the heating system in the existing building stock. As renewable energy sources are still more expensive than...

How marginal is lignite? Two simple approaches to determine price-setting technologies in power markets

Germeshausen, Robert; Wölfing, Nikolas - 2019

The parameterisation of energy and climate policies often depends on the technology, which is price-setting in electricity markets. We propose two simple approaches to determine marginal technologies in electricity wholesale from available data. Both approaches are complementary, computationally...

Self-interest and support of climate-related transport policy measures: An empirical analysis for citizens in Germany and Sweden

Habla, Wolfgang; Kokash, Kumai; Löfgren, Åsa; … - 2024

Based on data from broadly representative surveys among more than 1,400 citizens in Germany and Sweden, this paper empirically examines the support of different groups of climate-related (passenger) transport policy measures targeting vehicle use, public transport, air travel, and bicycle use....

Green technology policies versus carbon pricing: An intergenerational perspective

Rausch, Sebastian; Yonezawa, Hidemichi - 2023

Technology policy is the most widespread form of climate policy and is often preferred over seemingly efficient carbon pricing. We propose a new explanation for this observation: gains that predominantly accrue to households with large capital assets and that influence majority decisions in...

Would you like to supersize your car? The effect of environmental subsidies on emissions

Tsanko, Ilona - 2023

I study the impact of subsidies for Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) on carbon emissions. I show that subsidizing … subsidies for PHEV not been in place. I show that PHEV subsidies were used by consumers to purchase larger and heavier vehicles … the elimination of subsidies for PHEV would have led to a yearly reduction of 167,139 tons of carbon emissions which are …

Credit constraints, energy management practices, and investments in energy saving technologies: German manufacturing in close-up

Löschel, Andreas; Lutz, Benjamin Johannes; Massier, Philipp - 2017

We analyze the drivers and barriers that influence investments increasing the energy efficiency of firms' production processes or buildings in the German manufacturing sector based on microdata. In particular, we shed light on the relationship between financial barriers (e. g. credit...
