    On the Emissions-Inequality Trade-off in Energy Taxation: Evidence on the German Car Fuel Tax

    By using estimates from an Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS), we investigate how the German energy tax on car fuels changes the private households’ CO2 emissions, living standards, and post-tax income distribution. Our results show that the tax implies a trade-off between the aim to reduce emissions and vertical equity, which refers to the idea that people with a greater ability to pay taxes should ...

    An Analysis of Allowance Banking in the EU ETS

    The existence of some 2 billion unused EU Allowances (EUAs) at the end of Phase II of the EU's Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) has sparked considerable debate about structural shortcomings of the EU ETS. At the same time, there has been a surprising lack of interest in one possible explanation of this accumulation of EUAs: the theory of intertemporal permit trading, i.e. allowance banking. In this ...

    The Local Economic Impact of Wind Power Deployment

    Globally installed wind power capacity has grown tremendously since 2000. This study focuses on the local economic impacts of wind power deployment. A theoretical model shows that wind power deployment is not necessarily driven by locally-accruing economic payoffs, but also by other factors such as emphasis on environmentally-friendly energy production and its associated benefits. The theoretical analysis ...

    European Climate Targets Achievable without Nuclear Power

    The upcoming Climate Change Conference in Paris will once again highlight the need for action to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions in order to mitigate climate change. The relevant global energy scenarios are often still based on the assumption that the expansion of nuclear power can contribute to climate change mitigation. The spiraling investment and operating costs of nuclear plants, the unresolved ...

    Offset Credits in the EU ETS: A Quantile Estimation of Firm-Level Transaction Costs

    International offset certificates trade at lower prices than European Union Allowances (EUAs), although they are substitutes within the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) for CO2. Firms therefore had a strong incentive to use the cheaper certificates. However, a considerable number of firms did not use their allowed offset quota and, by doing so, seemingly forwent profits. While most of the literature ...

    Trade and Climate Policies: The Role of Market Structure, Strategic Behaviour, and the Supply Side of Carbon ; Dissertation

    Als globales Problem ist der Klimawandel eine der größten Herausforderungen der heutigen Zeit und muss im Kontext einer zunehmenden Globalisierung verstanden werden. Die vorliegende Dissertation untersucht die Zusammenhänge zwischen internationalem Handel und Klimapolitik und leistet einen Beitrag zum wissenschaftlichen Diskurs, indem sie diese aus zwei unterschiedlichen Perspektiven betrachtet: zum ...

    Leaving Coal Unburned: Options for Demand-Side and Supply-Side Policies

    Climate policy consistent with the 2°C target needs to install mechanisms that leave most current coal reserves unburned. Demand-side policies have been argued to be prone to adverse carbon leakage and “green paradox” effects. A growing strain of literature argues in favor of supply-side policies in order to curb future coal consumption. Various concepts with analogies in other sectors are currently ...

    The Three Domains Structure of Energy-Climate Transitions

    This paper argues that the development of energy systems rests on a combination of three different domains of socio-economic processes and associated modes of decision-making. For shorthand these are termed ‘satisficing’, ‘optimising’, and ‘transforming’ domains, with corresponding underpinnings found in behavioural, neoclassical, and evolutionary economics respectively. Each domain operates at different ...
