Differential exposure to climate change? : evidence from the 2021 floods in Germany
Odersky, Moritz; Löffler, Max - 2023
natural disasters intensified by anthropogenic climate change. To this end, we link official geo-coded satellite data on flood …-affected buildings to neighborhood-level information on socio-economic status. We then document the empirical relationship between flood … percent lower in flood-affected neighborhoods than in non-affected neighborhoods nearby. Our study is the first to document …

The impact of environmental innovation on employment growth in Europe
Licht, Georg; Peters, Bettina - 2014
This paper studies the impact of environmental innovation on employment growth using firm-level data for 16 European countries and the period 2006-2008. It extends the model by Harrison et al (2008) in order to distinguish between employment effects of environmental and non-environmental product...

Pass-through of CO2 emission costs to hourly electricity prices in Germany
Hintermann, Beat - 2014
I estimate the level of emissions cost pass-through to hourly wholesale electricity prices in Germany, based on spot market data. I control for contemporaneous shocks to demand and supply by constructing a detailed supply curve for fossil generation, and intersecting it with residual demand for...

Towards consistent and effective carbon pricing in Germany?
Capozza, Ivana; Curtin, Joseph - 2012
Germany committed itself to challenging greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets to 2020 and beyond. It has implemented a composite mix of policy measures to achieve its climate change mitigation goals, including a range of market-based instruments. These measures have helped reduce...

Optimal Carbon Taxation and Horizontal Equity : A Welfare-Theoretic Approach with Application to German Household Data
Hänsel, Martin C.; Franks, Max; Kalkuhl, Matthias; … - 2021
We develop a model of optimal carbon taxation and redistribution taking into account horizontal equity concerns by considering heterogeneous energy efficiencies. By deriving first- and secondbest rules for policy instruments including carbon taxes, transfers and energy subsidies, we then...

The effect of climate policy on productivity and cost pass-through in the German manufacturing sector
Hintermann, Beat; Žarković, Maja; Di Maria, Corrado; … - 2020
We investigate productivity and cost pass-through of German manufacturing firms using administrative data from 2001 to 2014. Our framework allows for the estimation of quantity-based production functions for multi-product firms while controlling for unobserved productivity shocks and unobserved...

Grüne Transformation in Deutschland : nur mit echter Energiewende ein ökologischer und ökonomischer Erfolg
Gornig, Martin; Kemfert, Claudia - In: Wirtschaftsdienst : Zeitschrift für Wirtschaftspolitik 104 (2024) 5, pp. 296-300
Deutschland soll bis zum Jahr 2045 klimaneutral werden. Um dieses ambitionierte Ziel erreichen zu können, ist eine allumfassende Transformation der Wirtschaft notwendig. Neben der Energiewende hin zu einer bestenfalls vollständigen Versorgung mit erneuerbaren Energien ist die Förderung von...
