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...

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...

Coalition Formation with Border Carbon Adjustment
Schopf, Mark - 2020
The present paper analyzes the impact of a climate coalition's border carbon adjustment on emissions from commodity production, welfare and the coalition size. The coalition implements border carbon adjustment to reduce carbon leakage and to improve its terms of trade, while the fringe abstains...

Local and Global Externalities, Environmental Policies, and Growth
Pittel, Karen - 2010
The paper analyzes the implications of local and global pollution when two types of abatement activities can be … undertaken. One type (e.g., use of particulate matter filters) reduces solely local pollution while the other (e.g., application … of fuel saving technologies) mitigates global pollution as well. In the framework of a 2-country endogenous growth model …

Green attitude and economic growth
Soretz, Susanne; Ott, Ingrid - 2015
endogenous growth model. Individuals take only part of their impact on pollution into account, hence there is a negative … externality of capital accumulation on environmental quality. Increasing wealth or increasing pollution enhance green attitude and … reduce the externality, because individuals care more about the environment if their income is higher or if pollution is more …

Turning the Global Thermostat—Who, When, and How Much?
Rickels, Wilfried; Quaas, Martin; Ricke, Kate; Quaas, … - 2019
Engineering the climate via Solar Radiation Management (SRM) is increasingly considered as a component of future climate policies. We study the strategic incentives for countries to choose the level of SRM at different times in the future, accounting for the regionally uneven effect of SRM on...

Elasticity of Substitution between Clean and Dirty Energy Inputs - A Macroeconomic Perspective
Saam, Marianne; Papageorgiou, Chris; Schulte, Patrick - 2014
Recently Acemolgu, Aghion, Bursztyn and Hemous (AER 2012) formulated a model in which a high macroeconomic elasticity of substitution between clean and dirty production represents a crucial condition for green growth. Until now it has never been systematically estimated. Using a novel panel of...

Shedding Light on the Spatial Diffusion of Disasters
Felbermayr, Gabriel; Gröschl, Jasmin; Sanders, Mark; … - 2018
Climate research suggests that global warming will lead to more frequent and more extreme natural disasters. Most disasters are local events with effects on local economic activity. Hence, assessing their economic impacts with the help of econometric country-level analysis may lead to biased...

Natural resources and technology - on the mitigating effect of green tech
Wendler, Tobias; Töbelmann, Daniel; Günther, Jutta - 2021
Drawing upon the literature on environmental innovation and social metabolism, this paper investigates whether technology can lessen the problem of scarce natural resources. We focus on fossil and biomass materials as important resources for production and consumption. Utilizing a dynamic panel...

Advantageous Leadership in Public Good Provision: The Case of an Endogenous Contribution Technology
Buchholz, Wolfgang; Eichenseer, Michael - 2017
From the perspective of standard public good theory the total amount of greenhouse gas mitigation (or public good supply in general) will be lower in a leader-follower game than in a simultaneous Nash game so that strategic leadership is disadvantageous for climate policy. We show that this need...
