Timing of innovation policies when carbon emissions are restricted : an applied general equilibrium analysis
(Discussion Papers;No. 536, Working paper, 2008)Abstract: This paper studies the timing of subsidies for environmental research and development (R&D) and how innovation policy is influenced by the costs of emissions. We use a dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) ... -
To what extent are temperature levels changing due to greenhouse gas emissions?
(Discussion Paper;No. 1007, Working paper, 2023-09-25)Weather and temperatures vary in ways that are difficult to explain and predict precisely. In this article we review data on temperature variations in the past as well possible reasons for these variations. Subsequently, ... -

Tout est au mieux dans ce meilleur des ménages possibles : The Pangloss critique of equivalence scales

Trade liberalisation and import price behaviour : the case of textiles and wearing apparels
(Discussion Papers;605, Working paper, 2010)Previous studies on the relationship between exchange rates and traded goods prices typically find evidence of incomplete pass-through, usually explained by pricing-to-market behaviour. Although economic theory predicts ... -
Trade-offs between carbon sequestration, landscape aesthetics and biodiversity in a cost-benefit analysis of land use options in Norway
(Discussion papers;915, Working paper, 2019-09)Norway is considering a national afforestation program for greenhouse gas (GHG) sequestration on recently abandoned semi-natural pastureland. However, the program may have negative impacts on landscape aesthetics and ... -
