The influence of firms on the elaboration of climate policy in a democratic system is quite controversial. Firms do not form a solid bloc of opponents to environmental regulation. Some firms even expect to gain from such regulation, either because they off ...
Switzerland, as many developed countries, face a double problem for the next round of international negotiations on climate change. On the one hand, short term economic strategies would favor the implementation of a global carbon market that would minimize ...
This paper presents a new research project of EPFL REME that aims to assess the influence of firms on climate policy. Firms do not form a solid block of opponents to climate policy regulation. As they face different incentives towards climate policy their ...

This paper studies the effect of different treaty designs on the success of international environmental agreements (IEAs). We analyze the standard assumption of an efficient abatement scheme and three uniform abatement quota schemes. Apart from analytical ...
Acceptance is the key problem of carbon taxes. This chapter is about acceptance building, ie devising a mechanism for the gradual preparation of the population and the economy in order to implement a carbon tax. It draws on experiences in Switzerland, wher ...
This short note completes the work done in the paper "Evaluation of a Swiss carbon tax with the computable general equilibrium model GEMINI-E3" and analyzes for Switzerland the benefits of a multi-gas greenhouse ga abatement strategy. ...
In this paper we propose a dynamic game theoretic modeling framework for the international climate change negotiations that should take place, at the end of the Kyoto protocol agreement, if the necessity to curb drastically carbon emissions is confirmed. T ...
We analyze the implication of different allocation schemes of CO2-emission permits for stability and the success of international climate agreements. Our model combines a game theoretical with an empirical module that comprises 12 world regions and capture ...
This report computes the magnitudes of carbon taxes that would be needed to meet strong CO2 emissions reductions targets in Switzerland by 2020 and 2050. It also assesses the economic impacts of meeting those targets through carbon taxes. The analysis is b ...
