Denmark's environmental aid to Central and Eastern Europe: Present and future
(CICERO Working Paper;1995:03, Working paper, 1995)Soon after the political changes in Central and Eastern Europe in the late 1980s, Denmark took steps to protect the environment in these areas and later made a strong commitment to step up its environmental aid. But the ... -
Effects on consumer demand patterns of falling prices in telecommunication
(CICERO Working Paper;1995:08, Working paper, 1995)The relentless technological change in telecommunication industry is forcing down many of the cost elements of a telephone call. Already, the marginal costs of the use of telecommunication networks are so low that these ... -
Methodologies of health impact assessment as part of an integrated approach to reduce effects of air pollution
(CICERO Working Paper;1995:07, Working paper, 1995)Quantification of average frequencies of health effects on a population level is an essential part of an integrated assessment of pollution effects. Epidemiological studies seem to provide the best basis for such estimates. ... -
The environmental action plan approach: A milestone in pollution control in the Baltic Sea
(CICERO Working Paper;1995:01, Working paper, 1995)This essay focusses on the regional regime for protection of the Baltic Sea marine environment. It compares the 1992 Helsinki Convention and the Baltic Sea Joint Comprehensive Environmental Action Plan with the 1974 Helsinki ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Possible criteria for differentiated commitments: Fair or feasible?
(CICERO Working Paper;1997:07, Working paper, 1997)This paper discusses the notion of differentiated commitments or burden sharing in the ongoing negotiations on emissions reductions of greenhouse gases. The negotiations, which takes place in the Ad Hoc Group on the Berlin ... -
Identifying and selecting significant, less significant and insignificant actors in global climate change negotiations
(CICERO Working Paper;1997:06, Working paper, 1997) -
Climate change and environmental assessments: Issues in an African perspective
(CICERO Working Paper;1997:02, Working paper, 1997)The present study discusses the potential for integrating climate change issues into environmental assessments (EAs) of development actions, with emphasis on sub-Sahara Africa. The study is motivated by the fact that future ... -
Norsk gjennomføring av Klimakonvensjonen
(CICERO Working Paper;1997:03, Working paper, 1997)Klimakonvensjonen har i tiden etter 1992 utviklet seg til å bli ett av de mest betydningsfulle resultater fra Rio-møtet. I juni 1996 hadde 159 land underskrevet Klimakonvensjonen, noe som i seg selv indikerer dens betydning. ... -
Social benefits of energy conservation in Hungary: An examination of alternative methods of evaluation
(CICERO Working Paper;1997:10, Working paper, 1997)This study aims at comparing alternative methods for a valuation of the social benefits of less air pollution. Estimates of such benefits can be based either on the economic consequences of less damage associated with ... -
Energy development and environmental constraints in China

Climate agreements: Optimal taxation of fossil fuels and the distribution of cost and benefits across countries
(CICERO Working Paper;1997:05, Working paper, 1997)The paper analyses governments' response to a climate agreement that commits themselves to reducing their emissions of CO2. A formula for optimal taxation of fossil fuels in open economies subject both to an emission ... -
"Friedheim in the Greenhouse": Tracing key positions of key actors on key climate issues
(CICERO Working Paper;1997:11, Working paper, 1997)The climate negotiation process is probably the most complex international environmental negotiation process to date. A high number of actors and issues are involved. In order to increase the understanding of the political ... -
Modelling the international climate change negotiations: A non-technical outline of model architecture
(CICERO Working Paper;1997:08, Working paper, 1997)One of CICERO’s current projects – undertaken in collaboration with the Fridtjof Nansen Institute – aims at developing a model enabling us (1) to explore systematically the political feasibility of alternative policy ... -
Impacts of reduced NOx emissions on radiative forcing through changes in tropospheric O3 and CH4: A global 3-D model study
(CICERO Working Paper;1997:01, Working paper, 1997)A three-dimensional global chemical tracer model and a radiation transfer model have been used to study the role of reduced NOx emissions on radiative forcing. Through production of tropospheric O3, NOx emissions lead to ... -
