Die Dissertation fokussiert auf suboptimale, aber politisch realistische(re) Klimaschutzmassnahmen. Sie benutzt analytische und kalibrierte numerische Modelle, um das Grüne Paradoxon, CO2 leakage und die Frage zwischen einer preislichen (CO2-Steuern) und einer mengenmässigen...

Carbon leakage is one of the major issues facing policymakers today when designing environmental regulation. While the empirical and trade literature on carbon leakage is rich, much less is known about the implications of carbon leakage risk on optimal regulatory policies under asymmetric...
