Kommentar
In this seminar, we explore key studies in integrated assessment of climate change mitigation strategies. The learning goal is
to develop a sound understanding of main concepts of integrated assessment modelling and how it is used to inform climate
policy making.
Two introductory session will provide (i) a primer on integrated assessment models (IAMs), (ii) an overview of their application
for public policy analysis, (iii) a summary of key characteristics of anthropogenic climate change and associated economic
concepts, and (iv) an overview of the topics to be covered during the seminar.
In the main part of the seminar, we will go through key advances in the integrated assessment of climate change mitigation
strategies, with a focus on the economics of reaching long-term climate targets. These advances will be explored step by step
to foster an understanding how they build on each other:
1. IAMs and their use for policy evaluation
2. Cost-effective CO2 emissions pathways towards long-term climate targets
3. Climate mitigation is more than just CO2 emissions reduction: Cost-effective multi-gas mitigation strategies and the
economic implications of greenhouse gas metrics
4. The introduction of carbon dioxide removal to mitigation pathways: more ambitious targets, overshoot trajectories, economic
implications
5. The emissions gap, and the challenge of delayed climate action for keeping long-term targets within reach
6. Translating the Paris Agreement: new target and scenario logics
7. The international dimension: efficiency, equity, sovereignity and burden sharing
In each of these sessions, a student presents on one of these topics based on their assigned reading of literature consisting
of scientific articles or excerpts from textbooks and reports (2-3 literature sources per presentation). The presentation should
include a clear description of the reading content and a reflection. It is followed by a group discussion relating the presented
material to the topic. The discussion is opened by the instructor and a prepared comment by another student.
After the two introductory sessions, students are given the opportunity to select (1) the topic of their reading assignment for the
presentation and (2) the topic for their prepared comment on a first come-first served basis.
The final session of the seminar is dedicated to a concluding discussion of the entire material covered in the seminar and
guidance for the preparation of the term paper. In the term paper, students are asked to develop their own assessment of
selected questions on climate change mitigation strategies.
The seminar is designed to allow participants to acquire an own understanding of the key concepts, applications and insights
in the field. Besides knowledge about the integrated assessment of climate change mitigation strategies, the course promotes
a series of important soft skills: public speaking, presenting and reflecting on scientific content, and navigating self-directed
learning in the field of integrated assessment.

Kommentar
In this seminar, we will study how to empirically evaluate climate policy and environmental policy. Focus will be on state-
of-the art econometric techniques to identify causal effects of policies on key outcome variables (e.g. emissions, costs,
prices, welfare). Examples of policies studied are carbon prices, fuel efficiency standards, or information policies, among
others. Students read and present academic papers, discuss them in class and finally develop a short research design for an
empirical policy impact analysis.

The seminar will start with three introductory sessions that introduce key concepts and methods. There will be two larger
block seminar sessions (whole day) in June - either in virtual format or in presence format, depending on the overall pandemic
situation.
Students are supposed to contribute to the seminar as follows:
• Each student presents 1 paper from the literature list that evaluate a specific environmental policy measure empirically
• Each student discusses two presentations of other students briefly (this requires to read their papers as well and to prepare
some critical questions)
• Each student submits a short written proposal [6-10 pages] on a research design for evaluating a specific climate policy
measure by August
• All students should engage in discussions on presented papers
The grading will consist of the grades from the presentations and the written proposal (term paper).

Kommentar
In this seminar, we explore key studies in integrated assessment of climate change mitigation strategies. The learning goal is
to develop a sound understanding of main concepts of integrated assessment modelling and how it is used to inform climate
policy making.
Two introductory session will provide (i) a primer on integrated assessment models (IAMs), (ii) an overview of their application
for public policy analysis, (iii) a summary of key characteristics of anthropogenic climate change and associated economic
concepts, and (iv) an overview of the topics to be covered during the seminar.
In the main part of the seminar, we will go through key advances in the integrated assessment of climate change mitigation
strategies, with a focus on the economics of reaching long-term climate targets. These advances will be explored step by step
to foster an understanding how they build on each other:
1. IAMs and their use for policy evaluation
2. Cost-effective CO2 emissions pathways towards long-term climate targets
3. Climate mitigation is more than just CO2 emissions reduction: Cost-effective multi-gas mitigation strategies and the
economic implications of greenhouse gas metrics
4. The introduction of carbon dioxide removal to mitigation pathways: more ambitious targets, overshoot trajectories, economic
implications
5. The emissions gap, and the challenge of delayed climate action for keeping long-term targets within reach
6. Translating the Paris Agreement: new target and scenario logics
7. The international dimension: efficiency, equity, sovereignity and burden sharing
In each of these sessions, a student presents on one of these topics based on their assigned reading of literature consisting
of scientific articles or excerpts from textbooks and reports (2-3 literature sources per presentation). The presentation should
include a clear description of the reading content and a reflection. It is followed by a group discussion relating the presented
material to the topic. The discussion is opened by the instructor and a prepared comment by another student.
After the two introductory sessions, students are given the opportunity to select (1) the topic of their reading assignment for the
presentation and (2) the topic for their prepared comment on a first come-first served basis.
The final session of the seminar is dedicated to a concluding discussion of the entire material covered in the seminar and
guidance for the preparation of the term paper. In the term paper, students are asked to develop their own assessment of
selected questions on climate change mitigation strategies.
The seminar is designed to allow participants to acquire an own understanding of the key concepts, applications and insights
in the field. Besides knowledge about the integrated assessment of climate change mitigation strategies, the course promotes
a series of important soft skills: public speaking, presenting and reflecting on scientific content, and navigating self-directed
learning in the field of integrated assessment.

Kommentar
In this seminar, we will study how to empirically evaluate climate policy and environmental policy. Focus will be on state-
of-the art econometric techniques to identify causal effects of policies on key outcome variables (e.g. emissions, costs,
prices, welfare). Examples of policies studied are carbon prices, fuel efficiency standards, or information policies, among
others. Students read and present academic papers, discuss them in class and finally develop a short research design for an
empirical policy impact analysis.

Investments in innovation systems that aim to provide a supporting environment for innovation activities, as well investments
in innovation activities themselves play an increasingly important role in innovation-driven economies, both for economic
growth in a globalized world with increasing competition, and for the creation of new jobs. This seminar focusses on the
interplay between innovation systems, innovation activities in private firms and the impact of their innovation output on firm
productivity. In this seminar, participants write a 15-page seminar paper making use of the provided literature and present the
most important results of their essays in the seminar.

The aim of this course is to provide participants with a deeper understanding of microeconometric estimation techniques. We
will use the topic ”Policy Evaluation” to illustrate and discuss several methods under various types of assumptions.
Topics:
- Causality and the Potential Outcome Framework
- Experiments
- Unconfoundedness
- Matching
- Difference-in-Differences
- Instrumental Variables
- Regression-Discontinuity Design
The lecture will be complemented by a practical computer session ”Public Policy Evaluation (2)” where the estimators will be
implemented using STATA.
