Even if all greenhouse gas emissions stopped at once, temperatures are predicted to continue rising due to the inertia of the climate system. As skiing tourism in the Austrian Alps is highly climate sensitive, higher temperature and changed precipitation patterns require increased artificial...

EU climate and energy policy defines ambitious objectives for the EU member countries requiring a fundamental change of energy systems. This paper suggests basing the analysis of restructuring options on energy services instead of energy flows. In order to provide the energy services in a...

This study focuses on the implications of rising global value chains (GVCs) on international trade and analysis the impacts on small open economies. Small open economies rely heavily on international trade and are highly integrated in global production networks but have so far been hardly...

While the potential of carbon pricing to curb CO2 emissions is widely acknowledged, the instrument keeps being disputed due to its potential regressivity and the burden it places on low-income households. Recently also the issue of horizontal inequalities has gained in importance in political...

Macroeconomic modelling is widely applied to assess the effects of carbon pricing. However, there remains substantial uncertainty on these effects within and especially across different modelling approaches. This paper, Part A, identifies model structure uncertainties and impact chains, i.e....

In this paper we identify policy implications for implementing carbon pricing in Austria, taking into account model structure uncertainty (see Part A: Kirchner et al., 2023). Methodologically, we compare the results of two macroeconomic models, DYNK and WEGDYN_AT, to evaluate the effects of...
