Relationship Between CO2 Emissions and Trade: The Case of the EU
Steinhauser, Dušan; Kittová, Zuzana; Khúlová, Lucia - In: Intereconomics 59 (2024) 1, pp. 41-47
Understanding the relationship between international trade and CO2 emissions is crucial for designing appropriate measures to address climate change. This article focuses on CO2 emissions as one of the trade flow determinants of the EU countries, along with other factors including remoteness,...

Bewertung der klimapolitischen Maßnahmen und Instrumente: eine Studie im Auftrag der E.ON AG
Wackerbauer, Johann; Albrecht-Saavedra, Jutta; … - 2011
Die globale Erwärmung und die daraus resultierenden ökonomischen und sozialen Konsequenzen sind eng verbunden mit dem Ausstoß von Treibhausgasen. Dem Kyoto-Protokoll nach ist die Europäische Union verpflichtet, die Emissionen dieser Gase bis zum Zeitraum 2008/2012 um 8% gegenüber 1990 zu...

Sustainable greenhouse policies: The role of non-CO 2 gases
Michaelis, Peter - 1997
This paper investigates the economic implications of a comprehensive approach to sustainable greenhouse policies that strives to stabilise the atmospheric concentration of the five major greenhouse gases at an ecologically determined threshold level. In a theoretical optimisation model...

Offsetting versus Mitigation Activities to Reduce CO2 Emissions: A Theoretical and Empirical Analysis for the U.S. and Germany
Lange, Andreas; Ziegler, Andreas - 2012
environmental pollution levels while not necessarily extending the consumption of a polluting good. We further show a nonmonotonic … income-pollution relationship and derive comparative static results for the impact of an increasing environmental preference …

Negotiation between authority and polluters: Model for support of decision-making in environmental policy. Principles and experimental case test
Sauer, Petr; Dvorák, Antonín; Fiala, Petr - 2000
The paper describes a relatively new approach to pollution reduction problem solving that relies on negotiation between … agreements between authorities and polluters. Design and results of a laboratory environmental policy experiment on air pollution … new institution for environmental pollution management in practice is the most important result. The case also shows the …

Optimal climate policy under the possibility of a catastrophe
Gjerde, Jon; Grepperud, Sverre; Kverndokk, Snorre - 1998
This paper concerns optimal emissions of greenhouse gases when catastrophic consequences are possible. A numerical model is presented which takes into account both continuous climate-feedback damages as well as the possibility of a catastrophic outcome. The uncertainty in the model concerns...

Voluntary Corporate Climate Initiatives and Regulatory Loom: Batten Down the Hatches
Ilic, Dragan; Mollet, Janick Christian - 2016
The rationale of voluntary corporate initiatives is often explained with anticipation of future regulation. We test this hypothesis for the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) and the Climate Leaders (CL), two popular voluntary US environmental programs to curb carbon emission that were operating...

Optimal Emission Pricing in the Presence of International Spillovers: Decomposing Leakage and Terms-of-Trade Motives
Böhringer, Christoph; Lange, Andreas; Rutherford, Thomas F. - 2012
Carbon leakage provides an efficiency argument for unilateral climate policy to differentiate emission prices in favor of emission-intensive and trade-exposed sectors. At the same time, differential emission pricing can be (mis-)used as a beggar-thy-neighbor policy to exploit terms of trade....

Modified Ramsey Discounting for Climate Change
Tol, Richard S.J. - 2013
The Ramsey rule for the consumption rate of discount assumes a transfer of money of a (representative) agent at one point in time to the same agent at another point in time. Climate policy (implicitly) transfers money not just over time but also between agents. I propose three alternative...

Climate policy under fat-tailed risk: An application of dice
Hwang, In Chang; Reynès, Frédéric; Tol, Richard S. J. - 2011
Uncertainty plays a significant role in evaluating climate policy, and fattailed uncertainty may dominate policy advice. Should we make our utmost effort to prevent the arbitrarily large impacts of climate change under deep uncertainty? In order to answer to this question we propose an new way...
