      Abstract: Genetically modified (GM) food has raised both health-risk fears and environmental concerns. This has led some countries to ban the trade in such food triggering a great deal of controversy among countries. ...

    • Cost-effective unilateral climate policy design: Size Matters 

      Böhringer, Christoph; Fischer, Carolyn; Rosendahl, Knut Einar (Discussion Papers;No. 664, Working paper, 2011)
      Abstract: Given the bleak prospects for a global agreement on mitigating climate change, pressure for unilateral abatement is increasing. A major challenge is emissions leakage. Border carbon adjustments and output-based ...

    • Eco-labels, production related externalities and trade 

      Greaker, Mads (Discussion Papers;No, 332, Working paper, 2002)
      Abstract: We analyze the trade and welfare effects of eco-labels in a domestic market with one domestic firm and one foreign firm. Pollution is production related, and the government can choose between including the product ...

      Holtsmark, Bjart; Sommervoll, Dag Einar (Discussion papers;693, Working paper, 2012-06)
      Using a non cooperative climate policy game applied in the literature, we find that an agreement with international emissions trading leads to increased emissions and reduced efficiency.
