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

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 ... -

Vulnerability to climate stress - local and regional perspectives
(CICERO Report;2006:01, Research report, 2006)This report presents the proceedings of two related workshops, taking place in January/February 2005, that presented findings of the project ”Adaptation as a livelihood struggle: conflict and vulnerability among dryland ... -
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 ... -

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 ... -
