Carbon taxes and general joint implementation : an applied general equilibrium analysis for Germany and India
Böhringer, Christoph; Conrad, Klaus; Löschel, Andreas - 2000
Germany has committed itself to reducing its carbon emissions by 25 percent in 2005 as compared to 1990 emission levels … reduction possibilities elsewhere. One concrete option for Germany would be to enter joint implementation with developing … countries such as India where Germany pays emission reduction abroad rather than meeting its reduction target solely by domestic …

Heterogeneous labour markets in a microsimulation-AGE model : application to welfare reform in Germany
Boeters, Stefan (contributor); Feil, Michael (contributor) - 2009
Labour market reforms that are designed to stimulate labour supply at the lower end of the wage distribution can never be precisely restricted to affect only the target group. Spillovers to and feedback from other segments of the labour market are unavoidable and may counteract the direct...

Alternative approaches to discrete working time choice in an AGE framework
Arntz, Melanie (contributor); Boeters, Stefan (contributor);  … - 2005
We compare two options of integrating discrete working time choice of heterogenous households into a general equilibrium model. The first, known from the literature, produces household heterogeneity through a working time preference parameter. We contrast this with a model that directly...

Beyond national economy-wide rebound effects : an applied general equilibrium analysis incorporating international spillover effects
Koesler, Simon; Swales, John Kim; Turner, Karen - 2014
This paper proposes that the national focus of energy ‘rebound’ studies should be extended to an international context in the presence of supra-national agreements such as EU 20-20-20. The potential for energy efficiency improvements in one nation to impact energy use in others means that...

Spillover effects of labour market reforms in a three-country world
Fries, Claudia - 2015
I extend the model-based literature on spillover effects of labour market reforms on foreign (un-)employment by allowing for third-country effects. When the workhorse two-country model is enlarged to include a third country, a reform causes an additional indirect effect through a terms-of-trade...

Recycling of eco-taxes, labor market effects and the true cost of labor : a CGE analysis
Conrad, Klaus; Löschel, Andreas - 2002
Computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling has provided a number of important insights about the interplay between environmental tax policy and the pre-existing tax system. In this paper, we emphasize that a labor market policy of recycling tax revenues from an environmental tax to lower...

Economic implications of alternative allocation schemes for emission allowances : a theoretical and applied analysis
Böhringer, Christoph; Lange, Andreas - 2003
Political feasibility of emission trading systems may crucially depend on the free initial allocation of emission allowances to energy-intensive industries in order to ameliorate adverse production and employment effects. We investigate the potential trade-off between such compensation and...
