The objective of this paper is to present different equity rules that can be applied to the initial allocation of greenhouse gas entitlements and to analyse the potential impacts of these rules EU-wide as well as on the level of member states. The methodological framework used in the empirical...

We examine the use of dynamic overlapping generations (OLG) computable general equilibrium (CGE) models to analyze the economic effects of tax reforms, using as a paradigm our DiamondZodrow (DZ) model. Such models are especially well-suited to analyzing both the short-run transitional and the...

Zum Schutz der Umwelt wird in Deutschland vornehmlich eine Politik der Verbote, Gebote und der technischen Standards betrieben. Dieses Buch ist ein Plädoyer für mehr Marktwirtschaft in der Umweltpolitik. Die Simulationsrechnungen mit dem empirisch fundierten und tief untergliederten...

This study uses a computable general equilibrium model to analyze various policy scenarios for a carbon tax on greenhouse gas emissions from petroleum fuels and kerosene in Ethiopia. The carbon tax starts at $5 per ton of carbon dioxide in 2018 and rises to $30 per ton in 2030. Different...

In response to a challenge from members of the Carbon Pricing Panel for the world to expand carbon pricing to cover 25 percent of global emissions by 2020, Ethiopia commissioned a carbon pricing study to obtain recommendations on the role and possible forms of carbon pricing policies in...
