Two Decades of European Climate Policy : A Critical Appraisal
Böhringer, Christoph - 2014
Climate change ranks high on the policy agenda of the European Union (EU) which considers itself as a leading force in … the battle against anthropogenic climate change. The EU is committed to the objective of limiting the rise in global … climate system. This article provides a critical appraisal of two decades of EU climate policy. Based on the global nature of …

US climate policy : a critical assessment of intensity standards
Böhringer, Christoph; Garcia-Muros, Xaquín; … - 2015
Intensity standards have gained substantial momentum as a regulatory instrument in US climate policy. Based on numerical simulations with a large-scale computable general equilibrium model we show that intensity standards may rather increase than decrease counterproductive carbon leakage....

Internationaler Klimaschutz - nicht mehr als symbolische Politik?
Böhringer, Christoph; Vogt, Carla - 2001
Klimaschutz stellt aus Sicht der ökonomischen Theorie ein rein öffentliches Gut dar. Internationale Kooperation zum Zweck der Milderung oder Verhinderung der globalen Erwärmung ist daher mit den bekannten fatalen Anreizproblemen behaftet: Auf der Basis freiwilliger, dezentraler Entscheidungen...

Optimal emission pricing in the presence of international spillovers : decomposing leakage and terms-of-trade motives
Böhringer, Christoph; Lange, Andreas; Rutherford, Thomas F. - 2012
Carbon leakage provides an efficiency argument for unilateral climate policy to differentiate emission prices in favor of emission-intensive and trade-exposed sectors. At the same time, differential emission pricing can be (mis-)used as a beggar-thy-neighbor policy to exploit terms of trade....
