Important progress has been made in recent years in the valuation of social costs of energy and transport. This progress has encouraged the insight that systems of "Green Accounting" considering social costs and policy instruments for the internalization of social costs are necessary tools to realize the worldwide goal of sustainable development. This workshop report provides an excellent survey of the latest results of social costs in the energy and transport sector. Further, the theoretical framework of social costs is extended to a broader concept of sustainable development. Finally, concepts and first experiences of the internalization of social costs e.g. through least cost planning or an ecological tax reform are reviewed.

The book provides an empirical analysis of the factors that determine the employment impact of environmental innovations. The multivariate estimations are based on a methodology taking direct and indirect employment effects on the firm level into account. The data are derived from interviews with more than 1500 firms in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the UK specifically conducted for this analysis. In addition to the empirical study based on interviews, case studies from five selected business sectors are used to provide profound insight in the environmental innovation behaviour of the firms.

Some countries are earlier than others in the development and introduction of environmental innovations. Often, the leadership in technological development is accompanied by a leadership in environmental policy. The book provides an analysis of lead markets for innovations such as fuel cells, photovoltaics, and others. Contributions of innovation economics, policy analysis and environmental economics are assessed regarding their potential to explain the leadership of single countries. The book depicts the policy frameworks that are favourable to the creation of such lead markets on the basis of theoretical considerations and case studies. Finally, recommendations for R and D policies, environmental and industrial policies are derived.

Als Leitbild der internationalen Umwelt- und Entwicklungspolitik hat sich der Begriff einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung spätestens seit der Rio-Konferenz 1992 durchgesetzt. Zunehmend wird anerkannt, daß die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung absolute Belastungsgrenzen der Natur berücksichtigen muß. Dadurch stellt sich die Frage, wie Maßnahmen, die innerhalb eines Konzeptes einer nachhaltigen zukunftsverträglichen Entwicklung vorgeschlagen werden, ordnungspolitisch zu bewerten sind. Im ersten Teil wird aus einer ordo-liberalen Perspektive ein allgemeines Prüfraster zur ordnungspolitischen Bewertung umweltpolitischer Maßnahmen entwickelt. Im zweiten Teil wird das Prüfraster auf ein zur Zeit viel und kontrovers diskutiertes umweltpolitisches Instrument - freiwillige Selbstverpflichtung der Wirtschaft - angewendet.

The successful signing of the Kyoto Protocol showed that there is international consensus about the problem of man-made climate change and that substantial greenhouse gas emission targets will soon be established. Based on the current scientific knowledge about climate change this workshop report analyses the most important economic aspects of man-made climate change and the way effective and efficient policies can be designed to achieve the necessary reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the official versions of the Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol are included as a reference for the reader.

Integrierte Umweltschutztechniken gewinnen international an Bedeutung, weil von ihnen neben okologischen Vorteilen gleichzeitig auch Impulse fur den Standortwettbewerb und damit den Arbeitsmarkt erwartet werden. Die Studie liefert erstmals empirisch fundierte Aussagen zu den Beschaftigungseffekten integrierter Umweltschutztechnik. Sie stutzt sich auf Fallstudien, eine Breitenerhebung bei Industrieunternehmen inkl. einer telefonischen Zusatzbefragung bei umweltinnovativen Firmen, eine Patentanalyse sowie Modellrechnungen mit einem allgemeinen Gleichgewichtsmodell fur die Europaische Union.

Fair and efficient pricing has become increasingly important in international environmental and transport policy. Thus the valuation and internalization of social costs is now a crucial element within strategies towards sustainable mobility. The book provides methods and results from major European and American studies evaluating both social costs of transport and first experiences with their internalization in different contexts: infrastructure planning, urban road pricing and highway tolling. Additionally, complementary non-monetary instruments for a transition towards sustainable mobility are presented and discussed.

Ein wichtiges Ziel ökologischer Modernisierung ist die Verbindung umweltfreundlichen Wirtschaftens mit einer Verbesserung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit. Zentrale Instrumente in diesem Kontext sind Standards für Umweltmanagementsysteme, wie beispielsweise das EG-Öko-Audit (EMAS). Während das Kosten-Nutzen-Verhältnis von EMAS bereits erforscht wurde, sind die Innovations- und Wettbewerbswirkungen bislang noch nicht systematisch untersucht worden. Diese Forschungslücke wird in dieser Studie mit Tiefenfallstudien und einer telefonischen Breitenbefragung geschlossen.Aus der Studie des ZEW und des IÖW lässt sich für Unternehmen die Handlungsempfehlung ableiten, durch Verzahnung von Umwelt- und Innovationsmanagement ihre Wettbewerbsfähigkeit zu stärken. Entscheidend ist die F&E-Abteilung, die an der Weiterentwicklung von EMAS beteiligt werden sollte, um eine stärkere Verknüpfung zu produktbezogenen und strategischen Fragestellungen zu erreichen.

Sustainable Energy Consumption in Residential Buildings
Inbunden, Engelska, 2012

As the residential buildings sector accounts for around 30 percent of the final energy demand in Germany, this sector is increasingly becoming the focus of public attention with regard to climate change. In this book, decisions on energy consumption by private households are examined. The analyses are based on several empirical methods. The results show that the road to more sustainable energy consumption in residential buildings is not hampered by a lack of will on behalf of the consumers. However one should be realistic that there are many instances where improving thermal institution involves additional economic costs for individual households.
