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...

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...

Global climate policy architecture and political feasibility: specific formulas and emission targets to attain 460 ppm CO2 concentrations

Bosetti, Valentina; Frankel, Jeffrey A. - 2009

Three gaps in the Kyoto Protocol most badly need to be filled: the absence of emission targets extending far into the future, the absence of participation by the United States, China, and other developing countries, and the absence of reason to think that members will abide by commitments. To be...

Delayed participation of developing countries to climate agreements: should action in the EU and US be postponed?

Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Tavoni, Massimo - 2008

This paper analyses the cost implications for climate policy in developed countries if developing countries are unwilling to adopt measures to reduce their own GHG emissions. First, we assume that a 450 CO2 (550 CO2e) ppmv stabilisation target is to be achieved and that Non Annex1 (NA1)...

Sustainable cooperation in global climate policy : specific formulas and emission targets to build on Copenhagen and Cancun

Bosetti, Valentina; Frankel, Jeffrey A. - 2011

We offer a framework to assign quantitative allocations of emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), across countries, one budget period at a time. Under the two-part plan: (i) China, India, and other developing countries accept targets at Business as Usual (BAU) in the coming budget period, the...

Modellers have examined a wide array of ideal-world scenarios for regulation of greenhouse gases. In this ideal world …”—which has a strikingly small impact on total world cost of carbon regulations if international trade in emission credits allows … another factor that analysts have largely ignored: credibility.

Is environmentalism the right strategy to decarbonize the world?

Marini, Marco; Tarola, Ornella; Thisse, Jacques-François - 2020

We study how the supply of environmentalism, which is defined by psychic benefits (costs) associated with the purchase of high-environmental (low-environmental) qualities, affects the way firms choose their products and the ensuing consequences for the global level of pollution. Contrary to...
