Cooperation and competition in climate change policies : mitigation and climate engineering when countries are asymmetric

Manoussi, Vassiliki; Xepapadeas, Anastasios - 2014

We study a dynamic game of climate policy design in terms of emissions and solar radiation management (SRM) involving two heterogeneous regions or countries. Countries emit greenhouse gasses (GHGs), and can block incoming radiation by unilateral SRM activities, thus reducing global temperature....

How is volatility in commodity markets linked to oil price shocks?

Ahmadi, Maryam; Behmiri, Niaz Bashiri; Manera, Matteo - 2015

This study investigates the effects of oil price shocks on volatility of selected agricultural and metal commodities. To achieve this goal, we decompose an oil price shock to its underlying components, including macroeconomics and oil specific shocks. The applied methodology is the structural...
