Technological Transfers in Global Climate Policy
Buchholz, Wolfgang; Dippl, Lisa; Eichenseer, Michael - 2015
Theoretical analysis and empirical evidence show that leadership behavior in climate policy through increased abatement efforts or international transfers cannot be expected to be very successful. In this paper we instead show that pioneering activities, which are based on green technological...

On the Sensitivity of Collective Action to Uncertainty about Climate Tipping Points
Barrett, Scott; Dannenberg, Astrid - 2014
Previous research shows that collective action to avoid a catastrophic threshold, such as a climate "tipping point," is unaffected by uncertainty about the impact of crossing the threshold but that collective action collapses if the location of the threshold is uncertain. Theory suggests that...
