Green Public Procurement : climate provisions in public tenders can help reduce German carbon emissions
Chiappinelli, Olga; Gruner, Friedemann; Weber, Gustav - In: DIW weekly report : economy, politics, science : a … 9 (2019) 51/52, pp. 433-441
This report estimates that government consumption and investment are responsible for at least 12 percent of German greenhouse gas emissions, mostly arising from the provision of public services and construction. Climate-friendly Green Public Procurement (GPP), which takes into account the carbon...

Environmental Performance and Climate Policy
Brännlund, Runar; Lundgren, Tommy; Marklund, Per-Olov - 2011
This study’s ultimate goal is to analyze environmental performance (EP) at firm level and the effectiveness of environmental policy along with other possible determinants. Especially, the empirical analysis aims at exploring the relationship between the actual EP of firms in terms of CO2...

Non-smooth climate change and emergent novel equilibria in an environmental-economic system
Bondarev, Anton; Greiner, Alfred - 2023
In this paper we study a basic model of economic growth where we integrate a zero-dimensional energy balance model of the Earth. The albedo of the Earth is the piecewise smooth function of the average surface temperature, thus, taking into account possible feedback effects of a higher...

The Risks of the Wrong Climate Policy for Developing Countries : Scenarios for South Africa
Omer, Ozlem; Capaldo, Jeronim - 2023
In this paper, a demand-driven growth model is used to explore climate change scenarios faced by the South African economy. The focus is on key macroeconomic variables including employment, productivity, income distribution, trade, and fiscal balances. Results show that emission reduction alone...

Equitable and Effective Climate Policy : Integrating Less Developed Countries into a Global Climate Agreement
Bretschger, Lucas - 2015
The paper derives general rules for equitable burden sharing in international climate policy. The focus is on a new social climate contract between developed and less developed countries (LDCs) which preserves competitiveness of the former and the "right to development" of the latter. We...

Green road is open : economic pathway with a carbon price escalator
Bretschger, Lucas - 2022
The paper develops the concept of "Economic Pathways" (EPs), which characterize theory-based scenarios for an economy that strives to achieve decarbonization by mid-century. The theoretical framework derives closed-from analytical solutions for consumption, innovation, emissions, and population....
