C & C - contraction and convergence of carbon emissions: the economic implications of permit trading
Böhringer, Christoph; Welsch, Heinz - 1999
In the context of climate protection policy it has been suggested that global CO2 emissions should be reduced significantly (contraction) and that per capita emissions should gradually be equalized across countries (convergence). This paper uses a dynamic multi-region computable general...

What drives the international transfer of climate change mitigation technologies? Empirical evidence from patent data
Dechezleprêtre, Antoine; Glachant, Matthieu; … - 2010
Using patent data from 66 countries for the period 1990-2003, we characterize the factors which promote or hinder the international diffusion of climate-friendly technologies on a global scale. Regression results show that technology-specific capabilities of the recipient countries are...

Climate Policy with Technology Transfers and Permit Trading
Helm, Carsten; Pichler, Stefan - 2011
In this paper, we analyze technology transfers (TT) and tradable emission rights, which are core issues of the ongoing climate negotiations. Subsidizing TT leads to the adoption of better abatement technologies in developing countries, thereby reducing the international permit price. This is...

Developing a critical model to evaluate the appropriateness of local body climate protection policies: the case of Freiburg
Galvin, Ray - 2009
Sub-national governments are now seen as having an important role to play in climate protection. Initial research in this area sought to identify their initiatives in climate change mitigation and theorize their role in relation to national and international climate protection policies. Because...
