Analyzing Economic Market Interactions as Conflicts: New Concepts to Assess Market-Based Policy Instruments
Muller, Adrian; Mason, Simon A. (2006)Complementing market-based policy instruments with conflict analysis approaches provides a wider understanding of market situations and allows to identify minimal requirements regarding needs, power and conflict dynamics. ... -
Benefits of Organic Agriculture as a Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Strategy in Developing Countries
Muller, Adrian (2009-01-20)Organic agriculture as an adaptation strategy to climate change and variability is a concrete and promising option for adaptation in rural communities. Organic agriculture has additional potential as a mitigation strategy. ... -
A Case-Study on Project-Level CO2 Mitigation Costs in Industrialised Countries - The Climate Cent Foundation in Switzerland
Kunz, Laura; Muller, Adrian (2009-01-20)We analyse CO2 emissions reduction costs based on project data from the Climate Cent Foundation (CCF), a climate policy instrument in Switzerland. We draw four conclusions. First, for the projects investigated, the CCF ... -
Clarifying Poverty Decomposition
Muller, Adrian (2006)I discuss how poverty decomposition methods relate to integral approximation, which is the foundation of decomposition of the temporal change of a quantity into key drivers. This offers a common framework for the ... -
Decoupling: Is there a Separate Contribution from Environmental Taxation
Muller, Adrian; Löfgren, Åsa; Sterner, Thomas (2011-01)Decoupling is a crucial topic in the analysis of sustainable development. Without decoupling, continuing and increasing economic growth in developed and developing countries would come with ever increasing environmental ... -
How to Make the Clean Development Mechanism Sustainable - The Potential of Rent Extraction
Muller, Adrian (2006)The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) should foster sustainable development and greenhouse gas emissions reductions. The design of the CDM and first experience suggest that it may not achieve these goals. Developing countries ... -
Output and Abatement Effects of Allocation Readjustment in Permit Trade
Muller, Adrian; Sterner, Thomas (2009-12-08)In permit trading systems, free initial allocation is common practice. A recent example is the European Union Greenhouse Gas Emission Trading Scheme (EU-ETS). We investigate effects of different free allocation schemes ... -
Putting decomposition of energy use and pollution on a firm footing - clarifications on the residual, zero and negative values and strategies to assess the performance of decomposition methods
Muller, Adrian (2006)I show how the problems with zero and negative values in decomposition can in principle be resolved by avoiding ill-defined mathematical operations used to derive the decomposition formulae (division by zero and taking ... -

Reducing Global Warming and Adapting to Climate Change: The Potential of Organic Agriculture
Olesen, J.; Smith, L.; Davis, J.; Dyrtrtová, K.; Gattinger, A.; Lampkin, N.; Niggli, U.; Muller, Adrian (2012-04)Climate change mitigation is urgent, and adaptation to climate change is crucial, particularly in agriculture, where food security is at stake. Agriculture, currently responsible for 20-30% of global greenhouse gas emissions ... -
Risk Management in the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) – The Potential of Sustainability Labels
Muller, Adrian (2006)There is a danger that the CDM will fail to live up to its goals, namely reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and enhanced sustainable development. Sustainability labeling is a promising strategy to hedge against such ... -
Sustainable Agriculture and the Production of Biomass for Energy Use
Muller, Adrian (2006)Modern bioenergy is seen as a promising option to curb greenhouse gas emissions. There is, however, a potential competition for land and water between bioenergy and food crops. Another question is whether biomass for ... -
Swedish CO2-Emissions 1993 - 2006 – An Application of Decomposition Analysis and Some Methodological Insights
Löfgren, Åsa; Muller, Adrian (2008-06-24)This study undertakes a decomposition analysis to identify the drivers of carbon emissions change in the Swedish business and industry sectors 1993 - 2006. On aggregate, energy intensity decreased, but this does not seem ...
