The present study examines the consequences of the planned coal phase-out in Germany according tovarious phase-out pathways that differ in the ordering of power plant closures. Soft-linking an energysystem model with an input-output model and a regional macroeconomic model simulates the socio-economic effects of the phase-out in the lignite regions, as well as in the rest of Germany.

In this project, we analyze and illustrate the link between pension levels and poverty risk in old age in two steps. First, using stylized calculations, we show how changing pension levels affect the distance between retirement benefits and basic means-tested social benefits (Grundsicherung im Alter). Second, we analyze the impact of changing pension levels on old-age poverty risk and...
In diesem Projekt wird der Zusammenhang zwischen dem Rentenniveau und der Armutsgefährdung in zwei Schritten illustriert und untersucht. Im ersten Teilprojekt zeigen wir anhand stilisierter Berechnungen, wie ein verändertes Rentenniveau den Abstand zwischen der Rente und der vorleistungsunabhängigen, bedürftigkeitsgeprüften Grundsicherung im Alter beeinflusst. Das zweite...
A just transition transaction (JTT) is a form of climate finance, in that it accelerates the phase-out of coal-fired power. This in itself reduces emissions, and it also creates space for renewable energy – with wind and solar PV already being competitive in SA. This shift our...
While in January 2012, Denmark increased the long-standing tax on sugary soft drinks, the tax was cut byhalf in July 2013 and then completely repealed in January 2014. In this study, we examine whetherincreases and cuts of the soft drink tax lead to similar over- or under-shifting to prices and to similardemand responses. We use longitudinal scanner data of 1,282 Danish households to estimate within-product ...

While the extant literature focuses on specific transformational strategies that particular firms, or industries, ...
