This paper extends a standard Schumpeterian growth model to include an environmental dimension. Thereby, it explicitly links the pollution intensity of economic activity to technological progress. In a second step, it investigates the effect of pollution on economic growth under the assumption...

We investigate the rebound effect of a 10% energy cefficiency improvement in the provision of private transport services by German households. In the process, we take into account that household behaviour may be influenced by habits, build on a detailed representation of the provision of private...

CO2 emissions mandates for new light-duty passenger vehicles have recently been adopted in the European Union (EU), which require steady reductions to 95 g CO2/km in 2021. Using a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, we analyze the impact of the mandates on oil demand, CO2 emissions, and...

This report presents the Basic WIOD CGE model. The model represents the first implementation of the World Input-Output Database (WIOD) into the CGE framework and is tailored to provide a maximum fit with WIOD data. The model is specifically designed such that it can serve as the basis for...

Die Co2-Emissionsrechte im Europäischen Emissionshandelssystem werden, nachdem sie zunächst vorwiegend kostenlos verteilt wurden, ab 2013 zunehmend versteigert. Dies führt auch unter Berücksichtigung von Steuerausfällen durch sinkende Gewinne der Unternehmen zu Einnahmen, die sinnvoll...

On the basis of a joint economic and legal analysis, we evaluate the effects of a 'regional' (European) emission trading scheme aiming at reducing emissions of international shipping. The focus lies on the question which share of emissions from maritime transport activities to and from the EU...

This paper proposes that the national focus of energy 'rebound' studies should be extended to an international context in the presence of supra-national agreements such as EU 20-20-20. The potential for energy efficiency improvements in one nation to impact energy use in others means that...

Changes in energy consumption behaviour of households are recognised as a main contributor to reduced energy demand in developed countries. We investigate the economy-wide impacts of a more efficient electricity consumption behaviour in the presence of demand rigidities and consumption habits....
