Sachzwänge im internationalen Klimaschutz: 1. Weltweit wirksame Begrenzung von Emissionen, 2. Nutzung der Ressource muss einen Preis haben, um Anreiz für sparsamen Umgang zu geben, 3. Pro-Kopf-Lösung (auch von Bundeskanzlerin Merkel gefordert), damit Indien und China mitmachen....

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...

We estimate CO2 implicitly contained in traded commodities based on the GTAP 7 data: While net carbon imports into the industrialized countries amount to 15% of their total emissions, net carbon exports of the developing countries amount to 12% of their total emissions, and net carbon exports of...
