Can multi-criteria rules fairly distribute climate burdens? OECD results from three burden-sharing rules
(CICERO Working Paper;1998:06, Working paper, 1998)An important feature of the Protocol concluded in Kyoto, Japan, in December 1997 is the differentiation of the climate targets of the industrialized countries. A more systematic approach to burden sharing than that leading ... -
Climate Change Adaptation and Residential Electricity Demand in Europe
(CICERO Working Paper;2009:01, Working paper, 2009) -
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 ... -
Joint Implementation under asymmetric information and strategic behaviour
(CICERO Working Paper;1994:12, Working paper, 1994)Joint Implementation (JI) under the Framework Convention of Climate Change means that countries could partly offset their national abatement commitments by investing in CO2 abatement projects abroad. JI is introduced as a ... -
A Comment on the Copenhagen Accord- Feasibility and Cost
(CICERO Working Paper;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 ... -
The Norwegian fast start climate finance contribution
(CICERO Working Paper;2013:02, Working paper, 2013)This Working Paper is part of a series of studies initiated by The Overseas Development Institute, ODI, scrutinizing how developing countries are defining, delivering and reporting on fast start finance - FSF. Norwegian ... -
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 ... -
Cost efficient climate policy in a small country
(CICERO Working Paper;1993:10, Working paper, 1993) -
The feasibility of ambitious climate agreements: Norway as an early test case
(CICERO Working Paper;2002:03, Working paper, 2002)There are considerable differences between developed countries as to how difficult it will be to meet their commitments under the Kyoto Protocol. ‘High-cost abatement countries’ are particularly interesting as they can be ... -
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 ... -
NOx emissions from aircraft: Effects of lightning and convection on changes in tropospheric ozone
(CICERO Working Paper;1998:05, Working paper, 1998)A global 3-dimensional chemical tracer model (CTM) has been used to study the impact on tropospheric ozone caused by NOx emissions from today’s fleet of subsonic aircraft (0.52 Tg(N)/yr), due to uncertainties in sources ... -
Decentralized enforcement, sequential bargaining, and the Clean Development Mechanism
(CICERO Working Paper;2001:12, Working paper, 2001)While there is a vast literature both on international bargaining and on how international agreements can be enforced, very little work has been done on how bargaining and enforcement interact. An important exception is ... -
Betingete posisjoner i klimaforhandlingene

Dominant agents and intertemporal emissions trading
(CICERO Working Paper;2004:11, Working paper, 2004)In this paper we analyze how restricting intertemporal trading by prohibiting borrowing of emission permits affects the ability of a dominant agent to exploit its market power, and the consequences this has for the ... -
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 ... -

Combining insights from economics and social psychology to explain environmentally significant consumption
(CICERO Working Paper;2008:02, Working paper, 2008)In this paper we propose a comprehensive model for environmentally significant consumption. The immediate purpose is to improve our ability to understand such consumption. The underlying purpose is to improve our ability ... -
An alternative to the Global Warming Potential for comparing climate impacts of emissions of greenhouse gases
(CICERO Working Paper;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. ...
