Do Sustainable Investment Strategies Hedge Climate Change Risks? Evidence from Germany's Carbon Tax
Ochoa, Marcelo; Paustian, Matthias O.; Wilcox, Laura - 2022
criteria to hedge climate change risk because physical risks have not yet fully materialized and policies to combat climate … plausibly exogenous changes in expectations about the level of a carbon tax in Germany. The risk-adjusted return on two …

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 second-best rules for policy instruments including carbon taxes, transfers and energy subsidies, we then...

Risk-averse by nation or by religion? : some insights on the determinants of individual risk attitudes
Bartke, Stephan; Schwarze, Reimund - 2008
risk preferences. Furthermore, religious beliefs are thought to explain differences in risk-preparedness on the individual … level. We analyze these two possible determinants of individual risk attitudes: nationality and religion. First addressing … the study of risk attitudes in a literature review, we then test our hypotheses empirically using the large …

Carbon price and wind power support in Denmark
Gavard, Claire - 2015
This paper aims at characterizing the conditions of wind power deployment in order to infer a carbon price level that would provide wind power with comparable advantage over fossil fuel technologies as effective wind support policies. The analysis is conducted on Danish data from 2000 to 2010,...

The determinants of voluntary carbon offsetting : a micro-econometric analysis of individuals from Germany and the United States ; conference paper
Schwirplies, Claudia; Ziegler, Andreas - 2014 - Preliminary version
This paper examines the determinants of voluntary individual carbon offsetting, i.e. the financial compensation of emissions from energy use. In contrast to former studies in this field, we particularly consider a comprehensive set of factors that are discussed in the context of voluntary...

An economic assessment of soil carbon sequestration with biochar in Germany
Teichmann, Isabel - 2015
Biochar is a carbon-rich solid obtained from the heating of biomass in the (near) absence of oxygen in a process called pyrolysis. Its soil incorporation is increasingly discussed as a means to sequester carbon in soils and, thus, to help mitigate climate change. When deployed in agricultural...

Technical Greenhouse-Gas mitigation potentials of biochar soil incorporation in Germany
Teichmann, Isabel - 2014
Biochar is a carbon-rich solid obtained from the heating of biomass in the (near) absence of oxygen in a process called pyrolysis. Its deployment in soils is increasingly discussed as a promising means to sequester carbon in soils and, thus, to help mitigate climate change. For a wide range of...

How resilient is public support for carbon pricing? : longitudinal evidence from Germany
Sommer, Stephan; Konc, Théo; Drews, Stefan - 2023
The success of climate policies depends crucially on the dynamics of public support. Using unique longitudinal data from three surveys conducted between 2019 and 2022, we study the variations of public support for carbon pricing in Germany. The period includes two relevant events: the...
