International aviation is responsible for between 2.5% and 3% of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions that are partly held responsible for climate change. International aviation is not subject to any regulatory framework for the limitation of these emissions. From an economic point of...

In this paper we survey the theoretical literature on both pollution-reducing and resource-saving technological progress. The literature can be divided into two strands. One strand deals with microeconomic models which investigate incentives to adopt and to develop environmentally more friendly...

We survey the theoretical literature on pollution-reducing and resource-saving technological progress, differentiating between microeconomic partial equilibrium models and endogenous growth models. The microeconomic models serve to investigate incentives to develop and adopt environmentally...

Eine wesentliche Voraussetzung für die Planung und Durchführung umweltpolitischer Maßnahmen ist die Ermittlung zuverlässiger Daten über die Auswirkungen ökonomischer Handlungen auf die Umwelt. Zu diesen Zweck geeignet ist eine Emittentenstruktur, wie sie gemeinsam vom Zentrum für...

Intergovernmental cooperation in Europe has been operationalized by the number of participants in intergovernmental conferences and treaties. These data have been decomposed into two groups, one group containing the number of participants in conferences and treaties on war-related issues and the...

This paper addresses interorganisational collaboration by science-based firms active in the Dutch life sciences. More specifically, we focus on two aspects (1) processes of finding partners; and (2) resource-based inducements and opportunities guiding these processes. Overall, there appears to...

The German government plans to significantly increase the deployment of electric vehicles. What impact would this have on the country’s power system and carbon emissions? This question was addressed as part of a European research project analyzing various scenarios up to 2030. One of the key...
