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...
Article
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...

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...
