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 ... -
Pollution, technology transfer and sustainable growth
(CICERO Working Paper;1993:11, Working paper, 1993)_________________________________________________________ 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 ... -
Green Electricity Market Development in the United States: Policy Analysis and Case Studies
(CICERO Working Paper;2004:02, Working paper, 2004)This paper reviews green electricity development in the United States, focusing on policies that have been enacted to promote green electricity. Green power is a term that refers to electricity generated from particular ... -
Climate change policymaking: Three explanatory models
(CICERO Working Paper;2000:06, Working paper, 2000)This paper gives an outline of three explanatory approaches to policymaking processes that allow the development of a rich set of non-trivial, probable assumptions. These assumptions provide a foundation for understanding ... -
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 ... -
Costs Savings of a Flexible Multi-Gas Climate Policy
(CICERO Working Paper;2004:03, Working paper, 2004)Current climate policies are based on the use of the Global Warming Potential (GWP) index to compare various greenhouse gases. Yet, from an economic point of view, more efficient methods exist. The purpose of this paper ... -
Føre var-prinsippet som rasjonelt beslutningskriterium
(CICERO Working Paper;2001:13, Working paper, 2001)Notatet spør om føre var-prinsippet kan betraktes som et rasjonelt beslutningskriterium. Forfatteren fokuserer på i alt seks uavklarte spørsmål: 1. Representerer prinsippet et bestemt sett av politiske handlingsalternativer, ... -
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 ... -
Market power in the market for greenhouse gas emission permits - the interplay with the fossil fuel markets
(CICERO Working Paper;2002:08, Working paper, 2002)Implementation of the Kyoto Protocol is likely to leave Russa and other Eastern European countries with market power in the market for emission permits. Ceteris paribus, this will raise the permit price above the competitive ... -
Market power with interdependent demand: Sale of emission permits and natural gas from the Former Soviet Union
(CICERO Working Paper;2004:01, Working paper, 2004)With implementation of the Kyoto Protocol, the Former Soviet Union countries, and Russia in particular, will most likely be able to exert market power in the emission permit market. However, since these countries are also ... -
Climate change impacts on agricultural productivity in Norway
(CICERO Working Paper;2004:10, Working paper, 2004)Climate change is likely to affect agricultural productivity. In this study, a biophysical statistical model is used to analyze the relationship between yields of potatoes, barley, oats and wheat per decare, and temperature ... -
Sharing the burden of greenhouse gas mitigation: Final report of the joint CICERO-ECN project on the global differentiation of emission mitigation targets among countries
(CICERO Working Paper;2001:05, Working paper, 2001) -
Enforcing the climate regime: Game theory and the Marrakesh Accords
(CICERO Working Paper;2002:06, Working paper, 2002)This article reviews basic insights about compliance and “hard” enforcement that can be derived from various non-cooperative equilibrium concepts, and evaluates the Marrakesh Accords in light of these insights. Five different ... -
A general equilibrium view of global rebound effects
(CICERO Working Paper;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 ... -
Climate vulnerability in Cuba: The role of social networks
(CICERO Working Paper;2005:01, Working paper, 2005)The case of Cuba offers a unique opportunity to investigate the dynamism of climate vulnerability. This paper takes a closer look at recent economic and social developments in Cuba, and how these affect patterns 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 ... -
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 ... -
