US Climate Policy : A Critical Assessment of Intensity Standards
Böhringer, Christoph - 2017
Intensity standards have gained substantial momentum as a regulatory instrument in US climate policy. Based on numerical simulations with a large-scale computable general equilibrium model we show that intensity standards may rather increase than decrease counterproductive carbon leakage....

Sense and No(n)-Sense of Energy Security Indicators
Böhringer, Christoph - 2015
Energy security ranks high on the policy agenda of many countries. To improve on energy security, governments undertake regulatory measures for promoting renewable energy, increasing energy efficiency, or curbing carbon dioxide emissions. The impacts of such measures on energy security are...

Targeted Carbon Tariffs - Carbon Leakage and Welfare Effects
Böhringer, Christoph - 2015
Climate effects of unilateral carbon policies are undermined by carbon leakage. To counteract leakage and increase global cost-effectiveness carbon tariffs can be imposed on the emissions embodied in imports from non-regulating regions. We present a theoretical analysis on the economic...
