  The Electric Vehicle Rebound Effect

  Electric vehicles (EVs) are often considered a promising technology for the decarbonisation of transportations, especially now that battery storage technologies are becoming more energy-dense and affordable [...] an empirical question. EVs are different from ICEs on a number of dimensions, most notably they generally cost much less to drive but more upfront, and charging stations are not yet as pervasive as gas

  Refereed Journal - E-commerce, delivery drones and their impact on cities

  pandemic has further strengthened this development. With the increasing opportunities that novel transport technologies, amongst them cargo drones, offer e-commerce is likely to even become more attractive [...] ly the impact of a shift towards package delivery via drones. Using a polycentric urban spatial general equilibrium model, incorporating the different retail channels, we model the consumer’s choice

This system is a key component of the EU Commission’s plans to achieve Europe’s ambitious [...] ecosystems that transfer their market power from one market to neighbouring markets. However, the general focus on gatekeepers, as provided for in the DMA draft, is too far-reaching. In the next six months

  Refereed Journal - Markets versus Regulation: The Efficiency and Distributional Impacts of U.S. Climate Policy Proposals

  Regulatory measures have proven the favored approach to climate change mitigation in the U.S., while market-based policies have gained little traction. Using a model that resolves the U.S. economy by

  Refereed Journal - Modeling U.S. water resources under climate change

  regional water requirement while taking into account constraints of engineered water storage and transport systems. This modeling system is an extension of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) [...] the modeling system we select “wet” and “dry” patterns of precipitation for the United States from general circulation models used in the Climate Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP3). Results suggest that [...] alone would increase water stress in the United States through mid‐century. Climate change generally increases water stress with the largest increases in the Southwest. By identifying areas of potential

  Refereed Journal - Differentiated Carbon Prices and the Economic Cost of Decarbonization

  Employing a numerical general equilibrium model with multiple fuels, end-use sectors, heterogeneous households, and transport externalities, this paper examines three motives for differentiated carbon [...] existing tax code, non-CO2 related transport externalities, and social equity concerns. Interaction effects with mineral oil taxes reduce carbon taxes on motor fuels and transport externalities increase them [...] fact that pre-existing taxes on motor fuels are well below our estimate of the transport externality per unit of transport fuel consumption. Differentiating taxes in favor of motor fuels yields only slightly

  Refereed Journal - Multi-model comparison of Swiss decarbonization scenarios

  pre-existing mineral oil taxes find that in early periods of climate policy, taxing emission from transport fuels at lower rates than other emissions may be cost-efficient. This effect vanishes as the stringency
