International Climate Policy
Zusammenfassung
A (traditional) focus of the research area is on analyzing prevailing policy proposals at the European and international level. Policies that have been and are analyzed with respect to their effects and their optimal design are in particular the European emission trading scheme, policies associated with the Kyoto Protocol and possible Post-Kyoto long-term climate regimes.
The DART Model
The DART model was developed in the late 90's at the department of environmental and resource economics at the Kiel Institute for World Economics. It is a recursive dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of the world economy, covering multiple sectors and regions. It is designed for the analysis of international climate policies.
The DART model is not only used for analyzing prevailing international climate policy proposals, but a major part of research in the area is aimed at improving and extending the DART model. Currently, the model is e.g. up-dated to the newest available database GTAP7.
POEM - Policy Options to engage Emerging Asian economies in a Post-Kyoto regime
The main aim of the POEM project (funded by the 7th framework program of the EU) is to anaylse the possibility of reaching both development and climate objectives in India and China. The hypothesis is that it is only possible to reach both objectives by combining policies and measures at international and at national level, supported by committed international cooperation. |
The methodology of the project is based on the development and assessment of policy options, including combinations of international and national policies, and institutional frameworks for international cooperation under a post-2012 regime. A number of different computational models is the primary tool that will be used by the POEM project partners, the IfW contributes with the DART model. The project is based on the application of an integrated modeling framework, and the study will use this integrated modeling framework in order to explore possible multiple pathways contributing to climate action without compromising development priorities.
Alternative Scenarios for European Fisheries Management
The project "Alternative Scenarios for European Fisheries Management" is part of the Cluster of Excellence "The Future Ocean". It combines state-of-the-art research in fisheries, law and economy to design alternative management models for the sustainable use of Europe's fish resources. First, the downfalls of the current European Common Fisheries Policy are analysed, and then new scenarios for better and more sustainable fisheries management are proposed.
Protection and the WTO
This research area deals with the compatibility of national environmental protection programmes with the legal framework of the WTO. The legitimacy of trade sanctions are analysed and in particular the legality of the use of trade sanctions under the next climate change regime will be explored. Further, this research area deals with the compatibility of border tax adjustments and similar climate change policies with the WTO.
