Sustainable Climate Treaties

Gersbach, Hans; Hummel, Noemi; Winkler, Ralph - 2017

We examine long-run treaties for mitigating climate change. Countries pay an initial fee into a global fund that is invested in long-run assets. In each period, part of the fund is distributed among the participating countries in relation to the emission reductions they have achieved in this...

Strategic delegation and international permit markets: Why linking may fail

Habla, Wolfgang; Winkler, Ralph - 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...

Strategic Delegation in the Formation of Modest International Environmental Agreements

Spycher, Sarah; Winkler, Ralph - 2020

We reassess the well-known “narrow-but-deep” versus “broad-but-shallow” trade-off in international environmental agreements (IEAs), taking into account the principal-agent relationship induced by the hierarchical structure of international policy. To this end, we expand the modest...

On the Design of Global Refunding and Climate Change

Gersbach, Hans; Winkler, Ralph - 2007

We design a global refunding scheme as a new international approach to address climate change. A global refunding system allows each country to set its carbon emission tax, while aggregate tax revenues are partially refunded to member countries in proportion to the relative emission reductions...

International Emission Permit Markets with Refunding

Gersbach, Hans; Winkler, Ralph - 2008

We propose a blueprint for an international emission permit market such as the EU trading scheme. Each country decides on the amount of permits it wants to offer. A fraction of these permits is grandfathered, the remainder is auctioned. Revenues from the auction are collected in a global fund...
