Economic effects of a nuclear-phase out policy: A CGE analysis
Bretschger, Lucas; Zhang, Lin; Ramer, Roger - CER-ETH Center of Economic Research, Department of … - 2012
The paper investigates the long-run consequences of a phase-out of nuclear energy for the Swiss economy. We apply the CITE model, a CGE model with fully endogenous growth, and complement it with a bottom-up model. We find that the nuclear phase-out can be achieved at relatively low costs, even...

Dynamic Effects and Structural Change under Environmental Regulation in a CGE Model with Endogenous Growth
Ramer, Roger - CER-ETH Center of Economic Research, Department of … - 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...

Sectoral Growth Effects of Energy Policies in an Increasing-Varieties Model of the Swiss Economy
Bretschger, Lucas; Ramer, Roger - In: Swiss Journal of Economics and Statistics (SJES) 148 (2012) II, pp. 137-166
The paper applies a theoretical model with increasing capital varieties to study the impact of energy on growth. It translates a multisectoral framework version to a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of the Swiss economy. We study the impacts of a policy aiming at enabling the economy...

Trading hot-air : the influence of permit allocation rules, market power and the US withdrawal from the Kyoto Protocol.
Klepper, Gernot; Peterson, Sonja - Kiel Institute for the World Economy - 2005
After the conferences in Bonn and Marrakech it is likely that international emissions trading will be realized in the near future. Major influences on the permit market are the institutional detail, the participation structure and the treatment of hot-air. Different scenarios do not only differ...

The UK nuclear option
Hawley, Robert - In: International Journal of Global Energy Issues 25 (2006) 1/2, pp. 4-13
The UK faces the need to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. A decision has yet to be made to replace its currently retiring nuclear reactors with modern reactors, yet time is pressing if the UK is to meet its emission target and ensure security of its future energy supply.
