Umwelt-, Energie- und Klimapolitik haben in jüngerer Zeit einen immer höheren Stellenwert erhalten. Dies ist nicht zuletzt den neuesten klimatologischen Forschungsergebnissen und dem daraus entstandenen gesteigerten Umweltbewusstsein in der Bevölkerung geschuldet. Politikansätze zur...

Implementation of an EU-wide emissions trading system by means of National Allocation Plans is at the core of European environmental policy agenda. Member States are faced with the problem of allocating their national emission budgets under the EU Burden Sharing Agreement between...

From 1 January 2005 onwards the European Union has launched the first largescale international carbon emissions trading program. As the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU-ETS) covers only part of domestic carbon emissions, it implies a hybrid environmental regulation scheme: Each EU Member State...

In the debate on the premature phase-out of nuclear power generation in Germany, there is an intense dispute on the effective operating time for the existing nuclear power plants. This paper addresses the question of how alternative phase-out regulations affect both the magnitude of total...
