The Global Stocktake report emphasizes that the core benefits of the transition towards climate neutrality are key to enhancing public and political support for more ambitious action. This motivated several country studies to explore how transition indicators could be defined to enhance understanding, agreement, and implementation of climate action. In this report, transition indicators are...
Hohe und unsichere Stromkosten werden von der deutschen Wirtschaft als große Herausforderungen angesehen. Über einen Erneuerbare-Energien-Pool (EE-Pool) könnten derartige Preisrisiken mittelfristig abgesichert werden. Im Poolkonzept werden die günstigen Konditionen wettbewerblicher Ausschreibungen für neue Windkraft- und Solarprojekte an die Stromverbraucher*innen weitergegeben. Die Strompreise der ...
How does a monetary union alter the impact of business cycle shocks at the household level? We develop a Heterogeneous Agent New Keynesian model of two countries (HANK) and show in closed form that a monetary union shifts the adjustment to a shock horizontally across countries, within the brackets of the union-wide wealth distribution, rather than vertically, that is, across the brackets of the union-wide ...
Mats Kröger hat gute Ideen, um die Energiewende zu beschleunigen. Wenn Unternehmen jetzt immer mehr (sauberen!) Strom benötigen, weil sie ihre Produktion umstellen, dann brauchen sie auch Sicherheiten, was die Stromkosten angeht. Eine mögliche Lösung wäre ein sogenannter erneuerbare Energienpool, wo für beide Seiten, Stromproduzent*innen wie Stromkonsument*innen feste Preise garantiert werden...
Inexpensive and time-efficient web surveys have increasingly replaced survey interviews, especially conducted in person. Even well-known social surveys, such as the European Social Survey, follow this trend. However, web surveys suffer from low response rates and frequently struggle to assure that the data are of high quality. New advances in communication technology and artificial intelligence...
This paper addresses the pressing need for rapid decarbonization of energy systems by examining the role of nuclear power in future energy scenarios collected in the IPCC database. Despite their explorative character, energy scenarios can influence decision-makers or might be used to promote certain technology developments. They are increasingly subject to the integration into real-world settings and ...
