Der beschlossene Atomausstieg der Bundesregierung wird zu einem erheblichen Anstieg an kerntechnischen Rückbauprojekten führen. Der Rückbau kerntechnischer Anlagen muss dabei den Anforderungen des Strahlenschutzes gerecht werden. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den...

Die Reaktorkatastrophe im japanischen Fukushima im Jahr 2011 führte in vielen Ländern weltweit zu einer Neubewertung der Risiken, die mit der Nutzung der Kernenergie verbunden sind. In der Folge wurde beispielsweise in Deutschland die vorzeitige Außerbetriebnahme von acht Leistungsreaktoren...

The German response to the Fukushima nuclear power plant incident was possibly the most significant change of policy towards nuclear power outside Japan, leading to a sudden and very significant shift in the underlying power generation structure in Germany. This provides a very useful natural...

The German decision to finally phase-out nuclear electricity has led to a debate on its effects on electricity prices, emission prices in the European emission trading system, as well as on international electricity trade. We investigate these effects with a Electricity market model for Europe...

The paper investigates the long-run consequences of a phase-out of nuclear energy for the Swiss economy. We apply the CITE model, a CGE model with fully endogenous growth, and complement it with a bottom-up model. We find that the nuclear phase-out can be achieved at relatively low costs, even...

This paper investigates whether an inefficient allocation of abatement, due to constraints on the use of currently available low carbon mitigation options, can promote innovation in new technologies and eventually generate welfare gains. We focus on the case of nuclear power phase out, when...

Die beiden Wirtschaftsprofessoren analysieren gründlich und differenziert die finanziellen Auswirkungen der Energiewende auf Unternehmen und private Haushalte und plädieren für eine gerechte Verteilung der Kosten. Umfangreicher Anhang mit Literaturverzeichnis, Abbildungen und Tabellen. (Rolf...

This paper analyzes how policy changes affect shareholder wealth in the context of environmental regulation. We exploit the unique and unexpected German reaction to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, which involved the immediate shutdown of almost half of Germany’s nuclear reactors while...
