Well-intended policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions may have unintended undesirable consequences. Recently, a large literature has emerged showing under what conditions this so-called 'Green Paradox' may occur. We review this literature and identify the key mechanisms behind these...

A sufficiently rapidly rising carbon tax may increase near-term emissions compared with the case of no carbon tax. Even so, such a carbon tax path may reduce total costs related to climate change, since the tax may reduce total carbon extraction. A government cannot commit to a specific carbon...

Um die Bestimmungsgründe, Ausbreitungsmechanismen und Wirkungen von Umweltinnovationen zu erklären, wurde bisher stark auf einzelnen Fallstudien abgestellt. Um die Forschung auf eine neue und breitere Grundlage zu stellen, führt das ifo Institut derzeit eine Studie zu Entstehung, Diffusion...

Growing demand for materials required in the construction of renewable technologies and zeroemission infrastructure may signal significant changes for the minerals and metals market. These in turn might exacerbate the social and environmental risks associated with the mining industry. We explore...

Automobile industry is an exhaustive industry bringing development for any country. The industrial capabilities needed for development rest in this branch of industry. The Iranian automobile making companies move in line with this aim. But in recent decades, in addition to development of...
