We analyse games of greenhouse gas emission reduction in which the emissions and the emission reduction costs of one country depend on other countries' emission abatement. In an analytically tractable model, we show that international trade effects on costs and emissions can either increase or decrease incentives to reduce emissions and to cooperate on emission abatement; in some specifications, optimal ...
Internationale Experten sind sich einig, dass die durch den Menschen verursachten Treibhausgasemissionen immer weiter steigen und dies zu einem Klimawandel führt. Deutlicher Ausdruck des Klimawandels sind der Anstieg der globalen Durchschnittstemperatur und des Meeresspiegels sowie die Zunahme extremer Wetterereignisse und Naturkatastrophen, die enorme volkswirtschaftliche Schäden verursachen. Bei ...
During the last years, the developing regions have come under increased pressure by the developed countries, in particular the USA, to join the international effort in global greenhouse gas abatement. On the one hand, the participation of the developing regions would offer the developed world with low cost opportunities for abatement. On the other hand,the economies of some developed regions such as ...
