Capped steam ahead : a case study among ship operators on a maritime ETS
Koesler, Simon; Achtnicht, Martin; Köhler, Jonathan Hugh - 2012
International shipping is an important emitter of greenhouse gases. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is discussing different approaches to reduce maritime CO2 emissions, in particular market-based mechanisms. In this paper, we assess potential implications of a maritime emission...

CO2 emission reduction in freight transports how to stimulate environmental friendly behaviour?
Bühler, Georg (contributor); Jochem, Patrick (contributor) - 2008
In the European Union (EU) and in Germany the transport sector is the only sector with increasing CO2 emissions (in the … EU by about 32 % and in Germany by about 1 % since 1990). Especially in road freight and air transport a further strong … increase is forecasted. In the transport sector this might be impeded by avoiding transport (accepting a lower economic growth …

Strategic delegation and international permit markets : why linking may fail
Habla, Wolfgang; Winkler, Ralph - 2017 - This version: May 2017
We analyse a principal-agent relationship in the context of international climate policy. Principals in two countries first decide whether to merge domestic emission permit markets to an international market, then delegate the domestic permit supply to an agent. We find that principals select...

C&C - contraction and convergence of carbon emissions : the economic implications of permit trading
Böhringer, Christoph; Welsch, Heinz - 1999
In the context of climate protection policy it has been suggested that global CO2 emissions should be reduced significantly (contraction) and that per capita emissions should gradually be equalized across countries (convergence). This paper uses a dynamic multi-region computable general...

Contraction of global carbon emissions : how acceptable are alternative emission entitlement schemes
Böhringer, Christoph; Welsch, Heinz - 2001
The allocation of emissions entitlements across countries is the single most controversial issue in international climate policy. Extreme positions within the policy debate range from entitlement based on current emission patterns (CEP) to equal-per-capita (EPC) allocations.Convergence (COV)...

On the design of optimal grandfathering schemes for emission allowances
Böhringer, Christoph; Lange, Andreas - 2003
To meet its commitment under the Kyoto Protocol, the EU plans to implement an emissions trading system with grandfathering of allowances. Besides having distributional impacts, the choice of the grandfathering scheme may affect efficiency if firms anticipate how future allocations depend on...

Climate change policy and burden sharing in the European Union : applying alternative equity rules to a CGE-framework
Schmidt, Tobias F. N.; Koschel, Henrike - 1998
The objective of this paper is to present different equity rules that can be applied to the initial allocation of greenhouse gas entitlements and to analyse the potential impacts of these rules EU-wide as well as on the level of member states. The methodological framework used in the empirical...

The power of active choice : field experimental evidence on repeated contribution decisions to a carbon offsetting program
Kesternich, Martin; Römer, Daniel; Flues, Florens - 2016 - Version: 22 December 2016
We study the effect of a subtle change in the choice architecture on offsetting behavior. In a large-scale field experiment, we examine repeated voluntary contributions to a carbon offsetting program during the online purchase of long-distance bus tickets. In the control group, travelers had the...
