Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Frage, welche Rolle Ungleichheit bei der Schaffung von Wohlstand für alle innerhalb planetarer Grenzen spielt, und in Verbindung damit, ob es einen Zielkonflikt zwischen Verteilungsgerechtigkeit und ökologischer Nachhaltigkeit gibt. Wir beleuchten drei Ungleichheitsdimensionen
der Klimakrise und deren Wechselw...
Despite its limited effectiveness to date, economists continue to claim that carbon pricing is optimal for climate policy. As climate policy becomes more urgent, it is crucial to understand whether this optimality claim holds. We show how optimality is contingent upon normative premises of what constitutes well-being and politics. The optimality cl...
disp-quote> Reaction to L. P. Fesenfeld in GAIA 30/3 (2021): Glimmers of hope: A global Green New Deal is feasible A Green New Deal is a necessary and viable tool to halt global heating while reducing socio-economic inequalities. Yet it is important to complement currently feasible designs like a Green New Deal with the removal of the remaining str...
We use car-level micro data to provide empirical evidence on the usage of conventional and electric vehicles (EVs) in private and car sharing fleets in Germany. We shed light on both monetary and non-monetary barriers to EV usage by exploiting the feature that variable costs are identical for shared vehicles but different for private car owners acr...
Das Instrument des Emissionshandelssystems (EHS) wird von Umweltökonom:innen
an prominenter Stelle zur Bewältigung der ökologischen Krisen sowohl im wissenschaftlichen Diskurs als auch in der Politikberatung empfohlen. Wir arbeiten drei implizite normative Prämissen des Lehrbuchmodells eines EHS im Kontext von Klimapolitik heraus und problematisier...
Widespread electric vehicle adoption is considered a major policy goal in order to decarbonize the transport sector. However, potential rebound effects both in terms of vehicle ownership and distance traveled might nullify the environmental edge of electric vehicles. Using cross-sectional household-level microdata from Germany, we identify rebound...
This paper elaborates the normative premises inherent in the instrument of emission trading. At the instrument level, an emission trading system (ETS) takes a normative stance with respect to the meta-theoretical questions on (i) how to deal with path dependencies, (ii) what constitutes the goal of climate policy as well as (iii) the ethical legiti...
In der Diskussion über städtische Luftverschmutzung und Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen auf Autobahnen besteht ein Mangel an evidenzbasierten Argumenten, was die Debatte immer wieder blockiert. Bei der Bewertung von Grenzwerten bzw. angedachten Maßnahmen wie Tempolimits sollten kausale Wirkungszusammenhänge differenziert betrachtet und kommuniziert we...
