The Kyoto Protocol and the fossil fuel markets under different emission trading regimes
(CICERO Working Paper;2000:10, Working paper, 2000)The consequences of the Kyoto Protocol for the fossil fuel markets depend on which policy instruments that are used in order to reach the emission targets. This paper uses a numerical model to assess the significance of ... -
The merits of non-tradable quotas as a domestic policy instrument to prevent firm closure
(CICERO Working Paper;2001:06, Working paper, 2001)There is a concern in many countries that a domestic tradable quota system for greenhouse gases, where all emitters must pay for their quotas, may lead to closures of emissions-intensive industrial companies. Allocating ... -

The Price of Non-compliance with the Kyoto Protocol: The Remarkable Case of Norway
(CICERO Working Paper;2004:07, Working paper, 2004)To induce compliance, an international enforcement mechanism needs to authorize the use of punitive consequences against a non-compliant country. However, it is reasonable to require that such consequences do not cause ... -
The role of the Commission in the European Union
(CICERO Working Paper;1994:03, Working paper, 1994)In this paper the role of the European Commission is analyzed. The focus is on the role that it plays in policy areas where it has an uncertain formal competence or no formal competence, i.e. where the relevant formal ... -
The Theory of Full International Cooperation: An Experimental Evaluation
(CICERO Working Paper;2004:06, Working paper, 2004)The concept of renegotiation-proof equilibrium has become a cornerstone in recent game theoretic reasoning about the stability of international environmental agreements. Applying this solution concept to a linear version ... -
The trade-off between short- and long-lived greenhouse gases under uncertainty and learning
(CICERO Working Paper;2001:10, Working paper, 2001)To find an optimal climate policy we must balance abatement of different greenhouse gases. There is substantial uncertainty about future damages from climate change, but we will learn more over the next few decades. Gases ... -
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 ... -
Tough justice for small nations: How strategic behaviour can influence the enforcement of the Kyoto Protocol
(CICERO Working Paper;2003:01, Working paper, 2003)This paper looks at how strategic considerations may play a role in the decision of whether or not to impose sanctions on Parties who are not in compliance with their commitments to the Kyoto Protocol. A member of the ... -

(CICERO Working Paper;1994:13, Working paper, 1994)This paper presents empirical evidence on the development of the energy policy of the European Union in the period 1985–94, showing how the Commission has worked towards the member states. It highlights the role of the ... -

Trading for the Future: Signaling in Permit Markets
(CICERO Working Paper;2007:01, Working paper, 2007)Tradable pollution permits are celebrated as a political instrument since they allow (i) firms to equalize marginal abatement costs through trade and (ii) they government to distribute the burden of the policy in a politically ... -
UNCED-prosessen og Nordens rolle
(CICERO Working Paper;1994:15, Working paper, 1994)Denne artikkelen tar opp dilemmaet mellom nasjonal suverenitet og behovet for internasjonalt forpliktende samarbeid innenfor miljø- og ressursforvaltning. UNCED-prosessen har vært preget av denne spenningen spesielt i ... -

What's in a word? Conflicting interpretations of vulnerability in climate change research
(CICERO Working Paper;2004:04, Working paper, 2004)In this paper, we discuss two competing interpretations of vulnerability in the climate change literature and consider the implications for both research and policy. The first interpretation, which can be referred to as ... -
