A choice experiment on fuel taxation and earmarking in Norway
(2010:02, Working paper, 2010) -
A Comment on the Copenhagen Accord- Feasibility and Cost
(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
(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. ... -
A general equilibrium view of global rebound effects
(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
(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 ... -
A Kantian approach to a sustainable development indicator for climate
(2012:02, Working paper, 2012)How can the informed citizen know if the government is implementing a good-enough climate change policy? Most developed democracies have their own set of indicators for sustainable development, including indicators for ... -
A model framework for ranking of measures to reduce air pollution with a focus on damage assessment
(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 ... -
A simple model for scenario studies of changes in global climate: Version 1.0
(1999:02, Working paper, 1999)This paper gives a documentation of a simple climate model for studying the effects of future climate gas emissions on global mean temperature and sea level. Input to the model is global emissions of 29 gases. Atmospheric ... -
Adjustment costs for investments in the abatement of climate change under uncertainty
(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 ... -
An alternative to the Global Warming Potential for comparing climate impacts of emissions of greenhouse gases
(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. ... -
An economic approach to monitoring pollution accidents
(1994:07, Working paper, 1994)_________________________________________________________ The author of this report, Hans Gottinger, has been regrettably found guilty of several counts of plagiarism. While we have no definitive proof that this particular ... -
An economic approach to the analysis of country interests and positions in climate negotiations
(1998:14, Working paper, 1998)The publication develops an approach to the appraisal of economic interests and positions in climate negotiations. The approach is based on a full-scale analysis of costs and benefits of climate treaties. Interest is ... -
An efficient and accurate carbon cycle model for use in simple climate models
(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. ... -
Analysis of EU member states' national allocation plans
(2005:02, Working paper, 2005)The European Union’s (EU) emissions trading scheme (ETS) started on 01 January 2005. The ETS covers CO2 emissions from large emitters in the power and heat generation industry and selected energy-intensive industrial ... -
Aspects of burden-sharing of common action to mitigate climate change
(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 ... -
Assessing compliance with the Kyoto Protocol: Expert reviews, inverse modelling, or both?
(2003:07, Working paper, 2003)The Kyoto Protocol has an ambitious reporting and review system to assess nations’ compliance with their emission commitments. This system requires considerable resources to assure that the Parties report accurate emission ... -
Betingete posisjoner i klimaforhandlingene
(1997:09, Working paper, 1997) -
Burden differentiation of greenhouse gas abatement: Criteria for evaluation and development of burden-sharing rules
(2000:01, Working paper, 2000)This article discusses nine criteria for evaluation of potential Burden Sharing Rules (BSRs) in climate policy agreements. Three of the criteria reflect fairness principles while six of them are operational requirements. ... -
Burden differentiation of greenhouse gas abatement: Fairness principles and proposals
(1999:13, Working paper, 1999)This report is the second working paper of the joint CICERO (Center for International Climate and Environmental Research, Oslo) and ECN (Netherlands Energy Research Foundation) project ‘Rules for Burden Differentiation of ... -
