Sectoral incidence and efficiency of climate policy : a quantitative economic analysis of alternative policy designs
Alexeeva-Talebi, Victoria - 2011
Eine gesellschaftlich akzeptable Klimapolitik darf aus der Sicht der Entscheidungsträger in der EU die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit europäischer energieintensiver Industrien nicht gefährden. Die vorliegende Dissertation bewertet intersektorale Verteilungswirkungen der europäischen Klimapolitik und...

Modeling Economywide versus Sectoral Climate Policies Using Combined Aggregate-Sectoral Models
Pizer, William A.; Burtraw, Dallas; Harrington, Winston; … - 2005
Economic analyses of climate change policies frequently focus on reductions of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions via market-based, economywide policies. The current course of environment and energy policy debate in the United States, however, suggests an alternative outcome: inefficiently...

Technical assistance programs and the diffusion of environmental technologies in the printing industry: The Case of SMEs
Rothenberg, Sandra; Becker, Monica - 2004
The goal of this article is to better understand the diffusion of environmentally preferable manufacturing technology (as distinct from pollution control technology) in small-and medium-sized firms (SMEs) and the influence of technical assistance programs on the diffusion of these technologies....

Optimal Energy Investment and R&D Strategies to Stabilise Greenhouse Gas Atmospheric Concentrations
Carraro, Carlo; Bosetti, Valentina; Massetti, Emanuele; … - 2007
The stabilisation of GHG atmospheric concentrations at levels expected to prevent dangerous climate change has become an important, global, long-term objective. It is therefore crucial to identify a cost-effective way to achieve this objective. In this paper we use WITCH, a hybrid...

Production Functions for Climate Policy Modeling: An Empirical Analysis
van der Werf, Edwin - 2007
Quantitative models for climate policy modeling differ in the production structure used and in the sizes of the elasticities of substitution. The empirical foundation for both is generally lacking. This paper estimates the parameters of two-level CES production functions with capital, labour and...

Abatement and Transaction Costs of Carbon-Sink Projects Involving Smallholders
Cacho, Oscar J.; Lipper, Leslie - 2007
Agroforestry projects have the potential to help mitigate global warming by acting as sinks for greenhouse gasses. However, participation in carbon-sink projects may be constrained by high costs. This problem may be particularly severe for projects involving smallholders in developing countries....

Climate Policy and the Optimal Extraction of High- and Low-Carbon Fossil Fuels
van der Werf, Edwin; Smulders, Sjak - 2007
We study how restricting CO2 emissions affects resource prices and depletion over time. We use a Hotelling-style model with two non-renewable fossil fuels that differ in their carbon content (e.g. coal and natural gas) and in addition are imperfect substitutes in final good production. We show...
