Industrial ecology in policy making : what is achievable and what is not?
Pothen, Frank - 2010
A diverse set of tools has been developed in Industrial Ecology to tackle the problems caused by human economic activity. These instruments include Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Material Flow Analysis (MFA). Especially LCA is now increasingly used in policy making. Design and Evaluation of...

Combining top-down and bottom-up in energy policy analysis : a decomposition approach
Böhringer, Christoph (contributor);  … - 2006
The formulation of market equilibrium problems as mixed complementarity problems (MCP) permits integration of bottom-up programming models of the energy system into top-down general equilibrium models of the overall economy. Despite the coherence and logical appeal of the integrated MCP...

Heterogeneous labour markets in a microsimulation-AGE model : application to welfare reform in Germany
Boeters, Stefan (contributor); Feil, Michael (contributor) - 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...

Carbon taxes and general joint implementation : an applied general equilibrium analysis for Germany and India
Böhringer, Christoph; Conrad, Klaus; Löschel, Andreas - 2000
Germany has committed itself to reducing its carbon emissions by 25 percent in 2005 as compared to 1990 emission levels … reduction possibilities elsewhere. One concrete option for Germany would be to enter joint implementation with developing … countries such as India where Germany pays emission reduction abroad rather than meeting its reduction target solely by domestic …

Alternative approaches to discrete working time choice in an AGE framework
Arntz, Melanie (contributor); Boeters, Stefan (contributor);  … - 2005
We compare two options of integrating discrete working time choice of heterogenous households into a general equilibrium model. The first, known from the literature, produces household heterogeneity through a working time preference parameter. We contrast this with a model that directly...

Specifying parameters in computable general equilibrium models using optimal fingerprint detection methods
Koesler, Simon - 2014
The specification of parameters is a crucial task in the development of economic models. The objective of this paper is to improve the standard parameter specification of computable general equilibrium (CGE) models. On that account, we illustrate how Optimal Fingerprint Detection Methods (OFDM)...

Integrating Bottom-Up into top-down : a mixed complementarity approach
Böhringer, Christoph (contributor);  … - 2005
We motivate the formulation of market equilibria as a mixed complementarity problem (MCP) in order to bridge the gap between bottom-up energy system models and top-down general equilibrium models for energy policy analysis. Our objective is primarily pedagogic. We first lay out that the MCP...
