A Comment on the Copenhagen Accord- Feasibility and Cost
(CICERO Working Paper;2011:03, Working paper, 2011)The Copenhagen Accord has been followed up by national pledges of greenhouse gas emissions reductions in the year 2020 without specifying measures to enforce actions. As a consequence, the capacity of parties to fulfil ... -
A comparison of taxes and tradable permits in national climate policy
(CICERO Working Paper;1999:08, Working paper, 1999)This article discusses domestic climate policy design in a country that has made a binding commitment to the Kyoto Protocol but at the same time want to limit the number of industry shutdowns that follows from the policy. ... -
Adjustment costs for investments in the abatement of climate change under uncertainty
(CICERO Working Paper;2000:05, Working paper, 2000)This paper studies optimal abatement of CO2 emissions, when investments in abatement measures are subject to adjustment costs. Decisions are made under uncertainty about the damages of climate change. Optimal abatement is ... -
A general equilibrium view of global rebound effects
(CICERO Working Paper;2009:02, Working paper, 2009)How do energy efficiency gains affect energy consumption? The effects are generally called "rebound effects" in the literature. Previous studies have extensively focused on only part of the global economy to study rebound ... -
A Joint Norwegian-Swedish Market of Green Certificates
(CICERO Working Paper;2013:03, Working paper, 2013)Two competing types of policies dominate as European countries implement enhanced investments in renewable energy: Feed-in tariffs and green certificates. Norway and Sweden established a joint market of green certificates ... -

(CICERO Working Paper;1993:12, Working paper, 1993)Artikkelen diskuterer hvilke egenskaper som er viktige for beslutningsstøtteverktøy som er ment å være til hjelp ved rangering av utslippsreduserende tiltak mot luftforurensninger. De forskjellige utslippene i forbindelse ... -
An alternative to the Global Warming Potential for comparing climate impacts of emissions of greenhouse gases
(CICERO Working Paper;2003:03, Working paper, 2003)The Global Warming Potential (GWP) is used within the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change as a metric for weighting the climatic impact of emissions of different greenhouse gases. ... -
Analysis of EU member states' national allocation plans

An efficient and accurate carbon cycle model for use in simple climate models
(CICERO Working Paper;1999:01, Working paper, 1999)The aim of this publication is to document a simple model of the atmospheric CO2 concentration based on exogenous input of anthropogenic emission of CO2 and taking air-sea exchange and biospheric responses into account. ... -
