Emissions pricing to stabilize global climate
Bosetti, Valentina; Paltsev, Sergey V.; Reilly, John M.; … - 2011
In the absence of significant greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation, many analysts project that atmospheric concentrations of species identified for control in the Kyoto protocol could exceed 1000 ppm (carbon-dioxide-equivalent) by 2100 from the current levels of about 435 ppm. This could lead to...

Clean and dirty international technology diffusion
Bosetti, Valentina; Verdolini, Elena - 2013
This paper investigates the role of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protection and Environmental Policies (EPs) on clean (renewable) and dirty (fossil-based) technology diffusion from top-innovators. IPR protection and EPs are extensively debated policy tools, as IPR protection addresses...

The stability and effectiveness of climate coalitions : a comparative analysis of multiple integrated assessment models
Lessmann, Kai; Kornek, Ulrike; Bosetti, Valentina; … - 2014
In this paper we report results from a comparison of numerically calibrated game theoretic integrated assessment models that explore stability and performance of international coalitions for climate change mitigation. Specifically, by means of this ensemble of models we are able to identify...

Facilitating linkage of heterogeneous regional, national, and sub-national climate policies through a future international agreement
Bodansky, Daniel; Hoedl, Seth; Metcalf, Gilbert E.; … - 2015
Negotiations pursuant to the Durban Platform for Enhanced Action appear likely to lead to a 2015 Paris agreement that embodies a hybrid climate policy architecture, combining top-down elements, such as for monitoring, reporting, and verification, with bottom-up elements, including "nationally...

Recalculating the social cost of carbon
Shayegh, Soheil; Bosetti, Valentina; Dietz, Simon; … - 2018
Over the last few decades, integrated assessment models (IAM) have provided insight into the relationship between climate change, economy, and climate policies. The limitations of these models in capturing uncertainty in climate parameters, heterogeneity in damages and policies, have given rise...

Three key elements of post-2012 international climate policy architecture
Olmstead, Sheila M.; Stavins, Robert N. - 2010
We describe three essential elements of an effective post-2012 international global climate policy architecture: a means to ensure that key industrialized and developing nations are involved in differentiated but meaningful ways; an emphasis on an extended time path of targets; and inclusion of...
