Alternative paths toward a low carbon world

Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Tavoni, Massimo - 2010

contains several idealistic assumptions that could be violated in the real world where some technologies may not be fully … available, technology transfers and diffusion are imperfect, some world regions may not accept to reduce their GHG emissions …

Linking reduced deforestation and a global carbon market : impacts on costs, financial flows, and technological innovation

Bosetti, Valentina; Lubowski, Ruben N.; Golub, Alexander; … - 2009

Discussions over tropical deforestation are currently at the forefront of climate change policy negotiations at national, regional, and international levels. This paper analyzes the effects of linking Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) to a global market for...

Challenges and opportunities for integrated modeling of climate engineering

Tavoni, Massimo; Bosetti, Valentina; Shayegh, Soheil; … - 2017

The Paris Agreement has set stringent temperature targets to limit global warming to 2°C above preindustrial level, with efforts to stay well below 2°C. At the same time, its bottom-up approach with voluntary national contributions makes the implementation of these ambitious targets...

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...

Luring others into climate action : coalition formation games with threshold and spillover effects

Bosetti, Valentina; Heugues, Melanie; Tavoni, Alessandro - 2015

We study the effect of leadership in an experimental threshold public "bad" game, where we manipulate both the relative returns of two investments (the more productive of which causes a negative externality) and the extent to which the gains from leadership diffuse to the group. The game...

Towards a better understanding of disparities in scenarios of decarbonization : sectorally explicit results from the RECIPE Project

Luderer, Gunnar; Bosetti, Valentina; Jakob, Michael; … - 2009

This paper presents results from a model intercomparison exercise among regionalized global energy-economy models conducted in the context of the RECIPE project. The economic adjustment effects of long-term climate policy aiming at stabilization of atmospheric CO2 concentrations at 450 ppm are...

A good opening : the key to make the most of unilateral climate action

Bosetti, Valentina; De Cian, Enrica - 2011

In this paper we argue that when a subgroup of countries cooperate on emission reduction, the optimal response of non-signatory countries reflects the interaction between three potentially opposing factors, the incentive to free-ride on the benefits of cooperation, the incentive to expand the...

Light duty vehicle transportation and global climate policy : the importance of electric drive vehicles

Bosetti, Valentina; Longden, Thomas - 2012

With a focus on establishing whether climate targets can be met under different personal transport scenarios we introduce a transport sector representing the use and profile of light domestic vehicles (LDVs) into the integrated assessment model WITCH. In doing so we develop long term projections...

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...

Politics and economics of second-best regulation of greenhouse gases : the importance of regulatory credibility

Bosetti, Valentina; Victor, David G. - 2010

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. In the real world governments find it difficult to craft and …
