Energy Biased Technical Change: A CGE Analysis
Löschel, Andreas; Otto, Vincent M.; Dellink, Rob B. - 2005
This paper studies energy bias in technical change. For this purpose, we develop a computable general equilibrium model that builds on endogenous growth models. The model explicitly captures links between energy, the rate and direction of technical change, and the economy. We derive the...

Technological Uncertainty and Cost-effectiveness of CO2 Emission Trading Schemes
Otto, Vincent M.; Löschel, Andreas - 2008
This paper studies implications of uncertainty about the arrival date of a competitive CO2 backstop technology for the design of cost-effective CO2 emission trading schemes. For this purpose, we develop a dynamic general equilibrium model that captures empirical links between CO2 emissions...

Heterogeneous Labour Markets in a Microsimulation-AGE Model: Application to Welfare Reform in Germany
Boeters, Stefan; Feil, Michael - 2008
Labour market reforms that are designed to stimulate labour supply at the lower end of the wage distribution can never be precisely restricted to affect only the target group. Spillovers to and feedback from other segments of the labour market are unavoidable and may counteract the direct...
