decrease in electricity generation by coal could contribute to reducing CO2 emissions. Using a multi-region dynamic general … equilibrium model, this paper studies potential economic consequences of a coal phase-out in Germany. Different regional phase …-out scenarios are simulated with varying timing structures. We find that a politically induced coal phase-out would lead to an …
