Adaptation, Mitigation and Risk-Taking in Climate Policy

Auerswald, Heike; Konrad, Kai A.; Thum, Marcel - CESifo - 2011

widely unknown. Governments try to cope with these risks by investing in mitigation and adaptation measures. Mitigation aims … to the existing literature, we explicitly model the decision of risk-averse governments on mitigation and adaptation … policies. Furthermore we also consider the interaction of the two strategies. Mitigation efforts of a single country trigger …

Environmental and Technology Policy Options in the Electricity Sector: Interactions and Outcomes

Fischer, Carolyn; Newell, Richard G.; Preonas, Louis - CESifo - 2014

Myriad policy measures aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity sector, promote generation from renewable sources, and encourage energy conservation. To what extent do innovation and energy efficiency (EE) market failures justify additional interventions when a carbon price is...

The Learning Process and Technological Change in Wind Power: Evidence from China's CDM Wind Projects

Tang, Tian; Popp, David - CESifo - 2014

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is a project-based carbon trade mechanism that subsidizes the users of climate-friendly technologies and encourages technology transfer. The CDM has provided financial support for a large share of Chinese wind projects since 2002. Using pooled...

Climate Change Mitigation Options and Directed Technical Change: A Decentralized Equilibrium Analysis

Grimaud, André; Lafforgue, Gilles; Magné, Bertrand - CESifo - 2009

The paper considers a climate change growth model with three R&D sectors dedicated to energy, backstop and CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) efficiency. First, we characterize the set of decentralized equilibria: A particular equilibrium is associated to each vector of public tools which includes...

The Role of Economic Policy in Climate Change Adaptation

Konrad, Kai A.; Thum, Marcel - CESifo - 2012

This paper assesses the role of the public sector in adaptation to climate change. We first offer a definition and categorisation of climate change adaptation. We then consider the primary economic principles that can guide the assignment of adaptation tasks to either the private or the public...

Total Costs and Budgetary Effects of Adaptation to Climate Change: An Assessment for the European Union

Osberghaus, Daniel; Reif, Christiane - CESifo - 2010

Adaptation to climate change is gaining increasing relevance in the public debate of climate policy. However, detailed and regionalised cost estimates as a basis for cost-benefit-analyses are rare. We compose available cost estimates for adaptation in Europe, and in particular Germany, Finland...

Buy Coal! Deposit Markets Prevent Carbon Leakage

Harstad, Bård - CESifo - 2010

If a coalition of countries implements climate policies, nonparticipants tend to consume more, pollute more, and invest too little in renewable energy sources. In response, the coalition’s equilibrium policy distorts trade and it is not time consistent. By adding a market for the right to...

The Supply Side of CO2 with Country Heterogeneity

Hoel, Michael - CESifo - 2011

Several recent articles have analyzed climate policy giving explicit attention to the non-renewable character of carbon resources. In most of this literature the economy is treated as a single unit, which in the context of climate policy seems reasonable to interpret as the whole world. However,...
