Interactions of reduced deforestation and the carbon market : the role of market regulations and future commitments
Anger, Niels (contributor); Dixon, Alistair (contributor);  … - 2009
Reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD) has been proposed as a potentially inexpensive and plentiful source of emission abatement to supplement other longterm climate policies. However, critics doubt that REDD credits are environmentally equivalent to domestic emission...

Different stochastic simulation methods are used in order to check the robustness of the outcome of policy simulations … possible margin. Because of nonlinearities confidence intervals for the simulation results have to be obtained by means of … stochastic simulations. The main contribution of this paper consists in presenting the simulation results. The robustness of …

Reforming social welfare as we know it? : a microsimulation study for Germany
Steiner, Viktor; Jacobebbinghaus, Peter - 2003
Social assistance and unemployment assistance, which provide means tested income support (social welfare) without pre-specified time limits, are viewed as one important reason for the persistently high level of unemployment in Germany by many economists. In order to increase work incentives and,...

R&D and firm performance in a transition economy
Czarnitzki, Dirk (contributor); Kraft, Kornelius (contributor) - 2006
We estimate the effects of R&D on firms' credit ratings and on financial distress. The main purpose is the comparison of firms in Western Germany and Eastern Germany as a transitional economy. Innovative activity has a positive impact on firm value proxied by ratings in Western Germany, but a...

Employment adjustments on the internal and external labour market : an empirical study with personnel records of a German company
Gerlach, Knut (contributor); Hübler, Olaf (contributor) - 2008
Firms are affected by the product demand. This leads to employment adjustments. In the literature we find only very few contributions investigating the issue whether internal adjustments are linked and which relationships exist with external adjustments. Are they of a complementary or...

The economics of adaptation to climate change : the case of Germany
Dannenberg, Astrid; Mennel, Tim; Osberghaus, Daniel; … - 2009
Given the ubiquitous scarcity of resources an economic approach is necessary in order to determine an optimal strategy of adaptation to climate change. In this paper we develop an economic framework for the study of adaptation which allows us to distinguish between decentralized adaptation by...
