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) -
Assessing metrics of climate change: Current methods and future possibilities
(CICERO Report;2001:04, Research report, 2001)With the principle of comprehensiveness embedded in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (Art. 3), a multi-gas abatement strategy with emphasis also on non-CO2 greenhouse gases as targets for reduction and control ... -
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 ... -
Efficient international climate agreements in the presence of free riders
(CICERO Working Paper;1992:07, Working paper, 1992) -
Is information enough? User responses to seasonal climate forecasts in Southern Africa
(CICERO Report;2000:03, Research report, 2000)Since the mid-1980s, long-lead climate forecasts have been developed and used to predict the onset of El Niño events and their impact on climate variability. Advances in the observational and theoretical understanding of ... -
Investment in flood protection measures under climate change uncertainty

A choice experiment on fuel taxation and earmarking in Norway

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. ... -

The Impact of Trial Runs on the Acceptability of Pigouvian Taxes: Experimental Evidence
(CICERO Working Paper;2011:01, Working paper, 2011)This paper examines the political difficulty of enacting welfare-enhancing Pigouvian taxes. Using referenda in a market experiment with externalities, we investigate the effect of trial periods on the acceptability of two ... -
