Energy Tax and Regulatory Policy in Europe
Concise introductions to the main issues in energy policy and their interaction with environmental policies in the EU. The European Union (EU) faces critical challenges in energy policy making, the most pressing of which are how to achieve the deep greenhouse gas reductions promised at the December 2015 UN Conference of the Parties in Paris, and how this effort can be coordinated with already existing policies. Energy policy is primarily a member state responsibility, and policy makers need an overarching view of the main issues in energy policy and their interaction with environmental policies. This volume aims to fill this need, offering concise introductions to some of the major issues as...
Climate Policy Options: A Comparison of Economic Performance
We use a global computable general equilibrium model to compare the economic performance of alternative climate policies along multiple dimensions, including macroeconomic outcomes, energy prices, and trade competitiveness. Carbon pricing which keeps the aggregate cost lower and preserves better the overall competitiveness than across-the-board regulation is the first-best policy, especially in energy intensive and trade exposed industries. Regulations and feebates are good alternatives in the power sector, where technological substitution is possible. Feed-in subsidies, if used alone, are not cost effective.
Climate Finance: Theory And Practice
How is the struggle against climate change financed? Climate Finance: Theory and Practice gives an overview of the key debates that have emerged in the field of climate finance, including those concerned with efficiency, equity, justice, and contribution to the public good between developed and developing countries. With the collaboration of internationally renowned experts in the field of climate finance, the authors of this book highlight the importance of climate finance, showing the theoretical aspects that influence it, and some practices that are currently being implemented or have been proposed to finance mitigation and adaptation policies in the developed and developing world.
Sustainable Wealth Management
Zusammenfassung: This book explores sustainable wealth management and the challenges asset managers face in times of ecological crises and climate change. It deals with portfolio engineering, combining risk and impact, transitioning from environmental social governance (ESG) concepts to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the different role of the intermediaries and players in the financial markets. It provides researchers, scholars, academics, and policy makers an interdisciplinary approach to redirecting capital towards sustainability
Umstrukturierungen
Das Fusionsgesetz wurde vor 20 Jahren in Kraft gesetzt und spielt heute bei Umstrukturierungen eine zentrale Rolle. Das vorliegende Buch stellt das Fusionsgesetz systematisch dar und erläutert unter Berücksichtigung der Gerichts- und Handelsregisterpraxis, wie eine Fusion, Spaltung, Umwandlung oder Vermögensübertragung durchgeführt wird. Neben einer umfassenden Darstellung der im Fusionsgesetz geregelten Umstrukturierungstatbestände zeigt es auch auf, wie Umstrukturierungen ausserhalb des Fusionsgesetzes realisiert werden können. Für die vorliegende 4. Auflage wurde das in Lehre und Praxis gleichermassen bewährte Buch auf den neuesten Stand von Rechtsetzung, Literatur und Rechtsprechung gebracht. Berücksichtigt wurde insbesondere auch die am 1. Januar 2023 in Kraft getretene grosse Aktienrechtsrevision. Das Buch richtet sich sowohl an Studierende als auch an Praktizierende in Anwaltskanzleien, Revisionsunternehmen, an Gerichten und in der Verwaltung. Die Entscheid-, Gesetzes- und Sachregister erleichtern die gezielte Suche.
St. Lucia
This paper takes stock of St. Lucia’s plans to manage climate change, from the perspective of their macroeconomic implications, and suggests macro-relevant reforms that could strengthen the likelihood of success of the national strategy. To meet its renewable energy plans, St. Lucia will need to mobilize private investment. External assistance will be needed to develop supporting infrastructure. Building capacity for project assessment and investment promotion is a high priority, to shape needed investments into bankable projects. Elsewhere, capacity-building would be most useful to help cost sectoral plans, complete the disaster-preparedness strategy, move toward carbon taxation, and strengthen skills in public investment management and public financial management.
Climate Mitigation in China
For the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change, China pledged to reduce the carbon dioxide (CO2) intensity of GDP by 60–65 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. This paper develops a practical spreadsheet tool for evaluating a wide range of national level fiscal and regulatory policy options for reducing CO2 emissions in China in terms of their impacts on emissions, revenue, premature deaths from local air pollution, household and industry groups, and overall economic welfare. By far, carbon and coal taxes are the most effective policies for meeting environmental and fiscal objectives as they comprehensively cover emissions and have the largest tax base.
Revisiting Carbon Leakage
This paper estimates the carbon leakage rate across countries, arguably a key parameter in the international climate policy discussion including on border carbon adjustment, but which remains subject to significant uncertainty. We propose innovations along two lines. First, we exploit recently published data on sector-country-specific changes in energy prices to identify changes in domestic carbon emissions and other flows (rather than the historically limited variation in carbon prices or adherence to international climate agreements). Second, we present a simple accounting framework to derive carbon leakage rates from reduced-form regressions in contrast to existing papers, thereby making our results directly comparable to model-based estimates of carbon leakage. We show that carbon leakage rates differ across countries and could be larger than what existing estimates suggest.
