Dynamic Effects and Structural Change under Environmental Regulation in a CGE Model with Endogenous Growth
Ramer, Roger - 2011
In this paper, we use a CGE model with endogenous growth to study the interplay between environmental regulation, innovation and sectoral growth. We find that a stringent reduction target for carbon emissions combined with a CO2-tax leads to structural changes. Under the assumption of a...

Skill-Biased Technological Change and the Real Exchange Rate
Gubler, Matthias; Sax, Christoph - 2012
We sketch a model that shows how skill-biased technological change may reverse the classic Balassa-Samuelson effect, leading to a negative relationship between the productivity in the tradable sector and the real exchange rate. In a small open economy, export goods are produced with capital,...
