Handbook on Innovation, Society and the Environment
Through careful investigation into the role of eco-innovation as a catalysing factor in the societal transition towards sustainability, this Handbook proposes more appropriate measures of innovation as a driver of change. It examines innovation from various perspectives, including labour, trade, the circular economy and energy, to illustrate a more comprehensive picture of its impacts.
An Advanced Guide to Trade Policy Analysis
An Advanced Guide to Trade Policy Analysis provides the most recent tools for analysis of trade policy using structural gravity models.
The Globalization of Farmland: Theory and Empirical Evidence
This paper is the first to provide both theoretical and empirical evidence of farmland globalization whereby international investors directly acquire large tracts of agricultural land in other countries. A theoretical framework explains the geography of farmland acquisitions as a function of cross-country differences in technology, endowments, trade costs, and land governance. An empirical test of the model using global data on transnational deals shows that international farmland investments are on the aggregate likely motivated by re-exports to investor countries rather than to world markets. This contrasts with traditional foreign direct investment patterns where horizontal as opposed to vertical FDI dominates.
Nachhaltige Soziale Marktwirtschaft
Die Eindämmung der Klimakrise ist die größte Herausforderung unserer Zeit, ökologische Nachhaltigkeit die Voraussetzung für Lebensqualität und Wohlstand künftiger Generationen. Der Weg zu einer Nachhaltigen Sozialen Marktwirtschaft ist allerdings gekennzeichnet von komplexen wirtschaftspolitischen Fragestellungen und Zielkonflikten. Um materiellen Wohlstand, soziale Gerechtigkeit und ökologische Nachhaltigkeit gleichzeitig sichern zu können, bedarf es einer klug austarierten Wirtschaftspolitik mit einem zeitgemäßen und praxistauglichen Zielsystem. Unsere Publikation definiert sieben Zieldimensionen einer Nachhaltigen Sozialen Marktwirtschaft und analysiert deren jeweilige Wechselwirkungen mit dem zentralen Ziel der ökologischen Nachhaltigkeit. Anhand aktueller empirischer Erkenntnisse und mithilfe ökonomischer Theorie zeigen wir, wo Konflikte bestehen und wo Ziele im Einklang miteinander sind. Mit Blick auf die wirtschaftspolitische Steuerung der Transformation benennt das Buch zentrale Stellhebel, um Zielkonflikten vorzubeugen und sie aufzulösen sowie Synergiepotenziale freizusetzen.
The Green Paradox
A leading economist develops a supply-side approach to fighting climate change that encourages resource owners to leave more of their fossil carbon underground. The Earth is getting warmer. Yet, as Hans-Werner Sinn points out in this provocative book, the dominant policy approach—which aims to curb consumption of fossil energy—has been ineffective. Despite policy makers' efforts to promote alternative energy, impose emission controls on cars, and enforce tough energy-efficiency standards for buildings, the relentlessly rising curve of CO2 output does not show the slightest downward turn. Some proposed solutions are downright harmful: cultivating crops to make biofuels not only contribute...
The Carbon Footprint of Global Trade Imbalances
International trade is highly imbalanced both in terms of values and in terms of embodied carbon emissions. We show that the persistent current value trade imbalance patterns contribute to a higher level of global emissions compared to a world of balanced international trade. Specifically, we build a Ricardian quantitative trade model including sectoral input-output linkages, trade imbalances, fossil fuel extraction, and carbon emissions from fossil fuel combustion and use this framework to simulate counterfactual changes to countries' trade balances. For individual countries, the emission effects of removing their trade imbalances depend on the carbon intensities of their production and consumption patterns, as well as on their fossil resource abundance. Eliminating the Russian trade surplus and the US trade deficit would lead to the largest environmental benefits in terms of lower global emissions. Globally, the simultaneous removal of all trade imbalances would lower world carbon emissions by 0.9 percent or 295 million tons of carbon dioxide.

Differential Scanning Calorimetry
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is a well established measuring method which is used on a large scale in different areas of research, development, and quality inspection and testing. Over a large temperature range, thermal effects can be quickly identified and the relevant temperature and the characteristic caloric values determined using substance quantities in the mg range. Measurement values obtained by DSC allow heat capacity, heat of transition, kinetic data, purity and glass transition to be determined. DSC curves serve to identify substances, to set up phase diagrams and to determine degrees of crystallinity. This book provides, for the first time, an overall description of th...
Handbook of International Trade and Transportation
International trade has grown rapidly over the past half century, accommodated by the transportation industry through concomitant growth and technological change. But while the connection between transport and trade flows is clear, the academic literature often looks at these two issues separately. This Handbook is unique in pulling together the key insights of each field while highlighting what we know about their intersection and ideas for future research in this relatively unexamined but growing area of study.
