Aspects of burden-sharing of common action to mitigate climate change
(CICERO Working Paper;1995:02, Working paper, 1995)The paper discusses burden-sharing of a common 'ceiling' for total emissions of CO2 for a group of countries. The distribution of quotas is assumed to be based on the anticipated emissions in each country after a uniform ... -
Exposure-response functions for health effects of air pollutants based on epidemiological findings
(CICERO Report;1995:08, Research report, 1995)Quantitative knowledge about health damage due to air pollution is an important element in analyses of cost-effective abatement strategies, and it is also essential for setting Air Quality Standards. In this context ... -
The impact of international institutions: The case of EU environmental policy and Central European responses
(CICERO Working Paper;1995:04, Working paper, 1995)This article analyzes to what extent EU environmental policy has had an impact in East-Central Europe. It does so by first, looking at the role of the EU as an actor in environmental policy – to what extent is a unified ... -
Energy, climate and air pollution: What do we know and how should we act?
(CICERO Policy Note;1996:01, Working paper, 1996)- To arrive at the most cost-effective strategies to reduce emissions an integrated approach is necessary. This implies to carry out detailed analyses of harmful effects on human health, materials and the ecosystems. - ... -
Kortere arbeidstid og miljøproblemer - noen regneeksempler for å illustrere mulige kortsiktige og langsiktige sammenhenger
(CICERO Working Paper;1996:03, Working paper, 1996)Det er skapt et inntrykk av at kortere arbeidstid vil bidra til å redusere miljøproblemene. Dette kan være bygget på en for enkel tankegang hvor man neglisjerer den teknologiske utviklingens potensiale for å løse miljøproblemer ... -

Verdien av klimatiltak
(CICERO Report;1996:01, Research report, 1996)The study surveys the literature on the economic costs of climate policy in different countries and world wide. Studies of costs to achieve national targets on emissions are partly based on bottom-up approaches, where ... -
Climate change in Africa: Issues and challenges in agriculture and water for sustainable development
(CICERO Report;1996:08, Research report, 1996)This report is primarily focused on the issue of how the World Bank can modify its projects, especially in the agriculture and water resources sectors, to prepare for future adverse effects of changes in climate. The report ... -
Deling av arbeid, arbeidsløshet og miljøproblemer - en drøfting av noen kortsiktige og langsiktige sammenhenger
(CICERO Report;1996:07, Research report, 1996)The aim of the project is to discuss the links between technological development, unemployment, work sharing and some environmental issues. The discussion explores whether reduced working hours in general are likely to ... -
The value of information and the design of a climate contract under asymmetric information both before and after the contract is signed
(CICERO Working Paper;1996:01, Working paper, 1996)The starting point of this paper is that a group of countries cooperate to reduce global emissions of CO2. In order to reduce the cost of achieving a target for global emissions reduction, they offer a non-cooperating ... -
A comprehensive approach to climate change: Options and obstacles
(CICERO Report;1996:04, Research report, 1996)The principle of comprehensiveness constitutes an important element in the climate convention, but guidelines as to how this principle is to be understood and implemented are not provided. In this analysis the meaning of ... -
Feasibility study on: Reforestation of degraded grasslands in Indonesia as a climate change mitigation option
(CICERO Report;1996:05, Research report, 1996)Deforestation and changes in land use in the tropics contribute a significant share of the anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases, of which the most important is carbon dioxide (CO2). Increasing the uptake and storage ... -

Climate agreements under limited participation, asymmetric information and market imperfections: A summary of a Dr.polit. Thesis
(CICERO Report;1996:06, Research report, 1996)Marginal abatement costs differ among countries. A climate treaty that specifies fixed emissions reductions for the different countries that participate will therefore, in general, not achieve a cost-effective distribution ... -
The design of a tradeable CO2-quota system under market imperfections
(CICERO Working Paper;1996:02, Working paper, 1996)Market power within a system of tradeable CO2-quotas leads to a non-optimal distribution of abatement across countries. In this paper we introduce a quota system that may reduce the adverse effects of market power, and ... -
