This paper, first, empirically investigates European emission allowance (EUA) prices and, second, evaluates emission trading as a policy measure. Applying combined jump GARCH models yields strong evidence of conditional jump behavior. This implies that EUA prices are subject to unexpected...

This paper is concerned with carbon price volatility and the underlying causes of large price movements in the European emissions trading market. Based on the application of a combined jump-GARCH model the behavior of EUA prices is characterized. The jump-GARCH model explains the unsteady carbon...

Im Dezember 2008 stehen wichtige Schritte der internationalen Klimapolitik bevor, die einerseits die Gestaltung der Klimaschutzmaßnahmen in Europa und andererseits ein Folgeabkommen des Kyoto-Protokolls nach 2012 betreffen. Der Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über den gegenwärtigen Stand der...

Die zur Jahresmitte 2009 in Kraft tretende Reform der Kraftfahrzeugsteuer, mit der die Bundesregierung klimaschutzpolitische Zielsetzungen verfolgt, sieht ei-ne kombinierte CO2- und hubraumbezogene Besteuerung für Neufahrzeuge vor. Danach soll der über 120 g/km hinausgehende CO2-Ausstoß mit 2...
