Equitable and effective climate policy: Integrating less developed countries into a global climate agreement
(2015)Economics Working Paper SeriesThe paper derives general rules for equitable burden sharing in international climate policy. The focus is on a new social climate contract between developed and less developed countries (LDCs) which preserves competitiveness of the former and the ”right to development” of the latter. We formally derive conditions under which an LDC keeps the ”right to development” but voluntarily agrees to participate in stringent international climate ...Working Paper -

The dynamics of economic integration: theory and policy
(2004)Economics Working Paper SeriesIntegration affects economic growth mainly through two dif-ferent channels: The scale-effect channel and the factor-reallocationchannel. In order to investigate both channels within a unifyingframework, we employ a simple descriptive growth model. The scale-effect channel increases either the long-run growth rate orthe level of the balanced growth path. The factor-reallocationchannel is ambiguous. It is shown under which conditions ...Working Paper -
The implications of heterogeneous resource intensities on technical change and growth
(2009)Economics Working Paper SeriesWe analyze an economy in which sectors are heterogeneous with respect to the intensity of natural resource use. Long-term dynamics are driven by resource prices, sectoral composition, and directed technical change. We study the balanced growth path and determine stability conditions. Technical change is found to be biased towards the resource-intensive sector. Resource taxes have no impact on dynamics except when the tax rate varies over ...Working Paper
