In this paper, we consider a non-cooperative and symmetric three-stage game model composed by two regulator-firm hierarchies. By means of adequate emission taxes, original and absorptive research and development (R&D) subsidies we prove that regulators can reach the non-cooperative social...

We develop a three stage game model composed of a regulator and two firms. These firms compete on the same market where they offer the same homogeneous good, and can invest in R&D to lower their emission/output ratio. By means of a tax per-unit of pollution and a subsidy per-unit of R&D level,...

Die Berechnung des Produktionspotentials nach der Kommissionsmethodea beruht auf einer Cobb-Douglas-Produktionsfunktion mit den Produktionsfaktoren Arbeit und Kapital, wobei abnehmende partielle Grenzproduktivitäten unterstellt werden. Die dritte Komponente der Cobb-Douglas-Produktionsfunktion...

In jüngster Zeit ist deutlich geworden, dass Griechenland trotz der Finanzhilfen durch den IWF und die EU seinen finanziellen Verpflichtungen nur schwer nachkommen kann. Außerdem wird bezweifelt, dass die griechische Regierung die ausgehandelten Auflagen vollständig erfüllt, sodass...

Im Verlauf der vergangenen Jahre sind die Nettokapitalimporte der Schwellenländer stark gestiegen. Dabei sind die Zuflüsse sowohl struktureller als auch zyklischer Natur. Strukturell haben sich die makroökonomischen Rahmenbedingungen mit inzwischen zumeist solide Staatsfinanzen, hohen...

Because of large economic and environmental asymmetries among world regions and the incentive to free ride, an international climate Regime with broad participation is hard to reach. Most of the so far proposed Regimes base on an allocation of emission rights that is to be perceived as fair....

In this paper we emphasize the role of institutions in economic analysis. We describe and compare different institutional classifications systems, which is rarely done in the literature, and show how to operationalize institutional classification based on the subject category, as the most...
