An increasing services orientation is likely to be a key feature of the economies of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the People's Republic of China, and India (collectively referred to as "ACI") over the medium-term. This paper aims to present a compendium of relevant data on...

In the fight against global warming, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is a major objective. In particular, a decrease in electricity generation by coal could contribute to reducing CO2 emissions. We study potential economic consequences of a coal phase-out in Germany, using a...

We study the environmental and economic effects of public abatement in the presence of multiple stable steady-state ecological equilibria. Under shallow-lake dynamics (SLD), the isocline for the stock of pollution features two stable branches, a good and a bad one. Assuming that the ecology is...

Der Bericht untersucht die Kompatibilität eines Emmissionshandels mit ordnungsrechtlichen und ökonomischen Instrumenten des Klimaschutzes. Es wird auch der Richtlinien-Vorschlag der Europäischen Kommission über ein System für den Handel mit Treibhausgasemissionsberechtigungen in der...
