In the absence of a broad international agreement, national climate policies are less efficient, due to carbon leakage, and more costly, due to causing unemployment and a loss of competitiveness on international markets. As, in many countries, a substantial fraction of emissions results from the...

A carbon tax is an efficient economic instrument to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide released from fossil fuel burning. Its impacts on production of renewable energy depend on how it is designed-particularly in the context of the penetration of biofuels into the energy supply mix for road...

Mit 01. Januar 2008 wurde in der Schweiz ein System zum Handel von Emissionsrechten gestartet. Neben der CO2-Abgabe und dem Klimarappen auf Treibstoffe soll diese klimapolitische Massnahme wesentlich zur Erfüllung der Kyoto-Zielreduktion beitragen. Die Schweiz verfolgt zur Senkung der...

This paper examines properties of mean-variance inefficient proxieswith respect to producing a linear relation between expected returnsand betas. The numerical results of a Monte Carlo simulation showthat in the CAPM slightly inefficient, positively weighted proxies causean almost perfect linear...
