Collaboration, decarbonization, and distributional effects

Robust options for decarbonization

Thomas Bruckner, born in 1966, completed his doctoral studies in theoretical physics at the University of Würzburg, Germany. After four years at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), he led the research group on Energy System Optimization and Climate Protection at the Institute for Energy Engineering at the Technical University of Berlin (2000 – 2008). Currently, he holds the...

Distributional Effects of FDI

This paper provides a computable general equilibrium analysis of the medium to long-run impact of FDI inflows on poverty and income distribution in Bolivia. The CGE analysis addresses several important transmission channels which have been neglected in the empirical literature by (i) investigating the impact of FDI inflows on incomes of urban and rural households; (ii) taking into account infor...

Distributional Effects of Globalization

A roadmap for rapid decarbonization.

Main text Although the Paris Agreement's goals (1) are aligned with science (2) and can, in principle, be technically and economically achieved (3), alarming inconsistencies remain between science-based targets and national commitments. Despite progress during the 2016 Marrakech climate negotiations, long-term goals can be trumped by political short-termism. Following the Agreement, which becam...

Distributional Effects of Frequency 1 Running Head: Distributional Effects of Frequency Distributional Effects of Word Frequency on Eye Fixation Durations

Much recent research using word recognition paradigms such as lexical decision and speeded pronunciation has investigated how a range of variables affect the location and shape of response time distributions, using both parametric and non-parametric techniques. In the present article, we explore the distributional effects of a word frequency manipulation on fixation durations in normal reading,...
