Alleviating Adverse Implications of EU Climate Policy on Competitiveness : The Case for Border Tax Adjustments or the Clean Development Mechanism?

Alexeeva-Talebi, Viktoria; Anger, Niels; Löschel, Andreas - 2013

Ambitious unilateral EU environmental policy has raised concerns about adverse competitiveness implications for European energy-intensive and export-oriented sectors. We analyze the economic and environmental implications of two different measures to address these concerns in the EU Emission...

Climate Policy and the Problem of Competitiveness : Border Tax Adjustments or Integrated Emission Trading?

Alexeeva-Talebi, Viktoria - 2008

In the absence of an international agreement on climate policy, unilateral carbon abatement creates two problems: It tends to have a detrimental effect on domestic competitiveness, and it leads to an increase in carbon emissions abroad (leakage). This paper analyses two policies that have...

Economic Effects of Vat Reform in Germany

Boeters, Stefan - 2008

In the tax policy debate, differentiation of value-added taxes is often justified by distributional concerns. Our quantitative analysis for Germany indicates that such concerns are misplaced. We find that the abolition of VAT differentiation has only negligible redistributive effects. Instead,...

Combining Top-Down and Bottom-Up in Energy Policy Analysis : A Decomposition Approach

Böhringer, Christoph; Rutherford, Thomas F. - 2013

The formulation of market equilibrium problems as mixed complementarity problems (MCP)permits integration of bottom-up programming models of the energy system into top-down general equilibrium models of the overall economy. Despite the coherence and logical appeal of the integrated MCP approach,...

Integrating Bottom-Up into Top-Down : A Mixed Complementarity Approach

Böhringer, Christoph; Rutherford, Thomas F. - 2008

We motivate the formulation of market equilibria as a mixed complementarity problem (MCP) in order to bridge the gap between bottom-up energy system models and top-down general equilibrium models for energy policy analysis. Our objective is primarily pedagogic. We first lay out that the MCP...

Energy Biased Technical Change : A Cge Analysis

Löschel, Andreas; Otto, Vincent M.; Dellink, Rob - 2008

This paper studies energy bias in technical change. For this purpose, we develop a computable general equilibrium model that builds on endogenous growth models. The model explicitly captures links between energy, the rate and direction of technical change, and the economy. We derive the...

Efficiency Gains from 'What' - Flexibility in Climate Policy - an Integrated Cge Assessment

Böhringer, Christoph; Löschel, Andreas; Rutherford, … - 2008

We investigate the importance of 'what'-flexibility on top of 'where'- and 'when'-flexibility for alternative emission control schemes that prescribe long-term temperature targets and eventually impose additional constraints on the rate of temperature change. We find that 'what'-flexibility...

Measuring Sustainable Development : The Use of Computable General Equilibrium Models

Böhringer, Christoph; Löschel, Andreas - 2008

conditions. This paper investigates the use of computable general equilibrium (CGE) models for measuring the impacts of policy … interference on policy-relevant economic, environmental, and social (institutional) indicators. We find that operational CGE models … prospects for future modeling in the field of integrated assessment that link standard E3-CGE-models to theme …
