Can geological carbon storage be competitive?
(CICERO Working Paper;2004:05, Working paper, 2004)In this paper we review the literature on the costs and benefits of geological carbon storage and the estimates of greenhouse gas permit prices under the Kyoto Protocol commitment period and beyond. Combining these results ... -
Evaluation of uncertain projects under Joint Implementation
(CICERO Working Paper;1994:11, Working paper, 1994)Joint implementation of the Framework Convention for Climate Change means that countries may be credited emission reductions that they finance abroad in order to reduce costs. This paper discusses the aspect of uncertainty ... -
Energy development and environmental NGOs: The Asian perspective
(CICERO Working Paper;1998:03, Working paper, 1998)In summary, Asian NGOs play an important role in international and national energy and environmental activities. Their increasing presence in the world political arena has helped, in one way or another, reshape agendas of ... -

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 ... -
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. ... -
Burden differentiation: GHG emissions, undercurrents and mitigation costs
(CICERO Working Paper;1999:14, Working paper, 1999) -
Can the Clean Development Mechanism attain both cost-effectiveness and sustainable development objectives?
(CICERO Working Paper;2001:08, Working paper, 2001)The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), as defined in the Kyoto Protocol, has two objectives: to promote sustainable development in host developing countries, and to improve global cost-effectiveness by assisting developed ... -
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 ... -

Why the CDM can reduce carbon leakage
(CICERO Working Paper;2006:02, Working paper, 2006)Carbon leakage is an important concern because it can reduce the environmental effectiveness of the Kyoto Protocol. The Clean Development Mechanism, one of the flexibility mechanisms allowed under the protocol, has the ... -
A model framework for ranking of measures to reduce air pollution with a focus on damage assessment
(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 ... -
Scientific management of the environment? Science, politics and institutional design
(CICERO Working Paper;1994:04, Working paper, 1994)Internasjonalt miljø- og ressurssamarbeid karakteriseres av en nær kobling mellom forskning og politikk. Vitenskapelige organer for frembringelse av ny og oppdatert kunnskap utgjør som regel en integrert del av internasjonale ... -
Optimal energy economics under global environmental constraints
