Kyoto and the carbon content of trade
Aichele, Rahel; Felbermayr, Gabriel - 2010
A unilateral tax on CO2 emissions may drive up indirect carbon imports from non-committed countries, leading to carbon leakage. Using a gravity model of carbon trade, we analyze the effect of the Kyoto Protocol on the carbon content of bilateral trade. We construct a novel data set of CO2...

Modelling the impacts of a national carbon tax in a country with inhomogeneous regional development: an actor-based system-dynamic approach
Kovalevsky, Dmitry V.; Hasselmann, Klaus - 2014
Different countries of the world are affected differently by the adverse impacts of anthropogenic climate change. For a large country consisting of several regions with different geographical conditions, the direct geographical impacts of climate change may differ significantly. Given the...

Subjective Well Being and the Impact of Climate Change
Grün, Carola; Grunewald, Nicole - 2010
We analyze the relationship between subjective well-being as a non-income welfare measure and climate variables such as temperature, precipitation rates or cloud covered days. Therewith, we estimate the effects from events related to climate change on subjective well-being and point out possible...

The causal effect of religious and environmental identity on green preferences: A combined priming and stated choice experiment
Engler, Daniel; Groh, Elke D.; Ziegler, Andreas - 2019
Using a stated choice experiment, we find that a prime that makes environmental identity salient makes people behave greener, whereas it does not if it makes religious identity salient. Further-more, we discover non-linear priming effects for environmental identity, which means that rais-ing the...

Climate change and individual behavior
2022
This paper studies the causal effect of providing information about climate change on individuals' willingness to pay to offset carbon emissions in a randomized control trial. Receiving truthful information about ways to reduce CO2 emissions increases individuals' willingness to pay for CO2...

The Distribution of Energy Efficiency and Regional Inequality
Singhal, Puja; Hobbs, Andrew - 2021
This paper studies the long-term distribution of energy-efficiency outcomes in the German residential sector. To uncover the underlying energy efficiency of buildings, we estimate the causal response of building-level heat energy demand to variability in heating degree days. We examine...
