Many countries around the world are currently promoting the development and large-scale deployment of renewable energy technologies. Potential advantages of renewable energy include a lower dependency on scarce, imported fossil fuels, improved security of supply, and decreased emissions, in particular carbon emissions. While the benefits of renewable energy technologies are clear, the economic...

Renewable energy technology is decisive in the nexus of economic development while changing the global energy system towards more sustainability. In this frame international trade is important as it has been identified as a channel for technological change and diffusion. Yet, tensions on the policy level around technology transfer at the UNFCCC and the WTO negotiation obstacles on environmental...

Coal is set to remain a major source of primary energy in the future. It is cheap compared to renewables and relatively abundant compared to the other fossil fuels oil and natural gas. Coal plays a significant role in the development of the two Asian giants China and India. But coal is also the biggest emitter of carbon dioxide per unit of energy generated and future climate and carbon policy will...

Growing shares of fluctuating wind power increase the need to expand existing electricity transmission networks. At the same time, the natural monopoly character of transmission networks requires economic regulation of investments. In this article, we study the effects of different regulatory regimes for transmission expansion with a model-based analysis for central Europe. In contrast to previous...

Substantial research on the relationship between family structures and child outcomes represents a considerable part of the literature. However, family structure provides a rather static view of the relationship of children¿s living arrangements and their well-being, revealing hardly anything about the stability of a family for a longer period. This paper focuses on the impact of family...

In this paper we study the economic effects of risk attitudes, time preferences, trust and reciprocity while we compare natives and second generation migrants. We analyze an inflow sample into unemployment in Germany, and find differences between the two groups mainly in terms of risk attitudes and positive reciprocity. Second generation migrants have a significantly higher willingness to take...
