Lutz, Christian, Meyer, Bernd, Nathani, Carsten, Schleich, Joachim
This paper presents policy simulation results from a new modelling approach for three energy-intensive industry sectors in Germany. In this approach, technological change is explicitly portrayed and...
In the last 30 years, specific primary energy use in the German steel industry has decreased by about 30%. This decrease can be attributed to both structural changes in the steel industry (from basic...

Do energy audits help reduce barriers to energy efficiency? An empirical analysis for Germany (2004)
A vast body of literature suggests that there is a variety of obstacles to increasing the efficiency in the use of energy through private and public organisations or individual households. Barriers...

Emissions Trading and the Optimal Timing of Production
Ehrhart, Karl-Martin, Hoppe, Christian, Schleich, Joachim, Seifert, Stefan
We investigate the problem of optimally timing production schedules in an emissions trading regime that does not allow the transfer of unused allowances into future periods. We show that companies...

Endogenous technological change and emissions: the case of the German steel industry
Lutz, Christian, Meyer, Bernd, Nathani, Carsten, Schleich, Joachim
In the last 30 years, specific primary energy use in the German steel industry has decreased by about 30%. This decrease can be attributed to both structural changes in the steel industry (from basic...
Schleich, Joachim, Orden, David
This paper characterizes environmental quality and industry protection in a large-country Grossman-Helpman model when production or consumption externalities exist and governments decide...
Banning banking in EU emissions trading?
Schleich, Joachim, Ehrhart, Karl-Martin, Hoppe, Christian, Seifert, Stefan
Admitting banking in emissions trading systems reduces overall compliance costs by allowing for inter-temporal flexibility: cost savings can be traded over time. However, unless individual EU Member...
The role of auctions and forward markets in the EU
Ehrhart, Karl-Martin, Hoppe, Christian, Schleich, Joachim, Seifert, Stefan
An analysis of the available National Allocation Plans for the first period (2005�2007) of the EU emissions trading scheme (EU ETS) implies (i) that the total allocation to installations covered...
Efficient choice among domestic and trade policies in the Grossman-Helpman Interest-Group Model
Schleich, Joachim, Orden, David
This paper generalizes the recent political economy model of Helpman and Grossman in which contributions by producer lobbies and government decisions about trade policies are modeled as a common...
Determinants of residential water demand in Germany
Schleich, Joachim, Hillenbrand, Thomas
We econometrically analyze the impact of several economic, environmental and social determinants for the per capita demand for water in about 600 water supply areas in Germany. Besides prices, income...
What's Driving Sustainable Energy Consumption? A Survey of the Empirical Literature
Wüstenhagen, Rolf, Schleich, Joachim, Rennings, Klaus, Heinzle, Stefanie, Brohmann, Bettina
The focus of the paper is on the individual decision of energy consumers, and it's relation to sustainable consumption. Consumer behavior is based on individual decisions, but it depends largely on...
The economics of energy efficiency: barriers to profitable investments
Improving energy efficiency is seen as a core strategy for a sustainable energy system, because it may contribute to cost savings for companies and private households, cost-effectively reduces...
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION WITH POLICIES FOR SALE
This paper generalizes the Grossman-Helpman political economy model to characterize the structure of environmental and industry protection for a small open economy when domestic and/or trade policies...
Barriers to energy efficiency: A comparison across the German commercial and services sector
Based on a large sample for the German commercial and services sector, this paper econometrically assesses the relevance of various types of barriers to energy efficiency at the sectoral level and...
Profits or preferences? Assessing the adoption of residential solar thermal technologies
Mills, Bradford F., Schleich, Joachim
Solar thermal technologies offer the potential to meet a substantial share of residential water and space heating needs in the EU, but current levels of adoption are low. This paper uses data from a...
