Optimal Energy Investment and R&D Strategies to Stabilise Greenhouse Gas Atmospheric Concentrations
Bosetti, Valentina - 2014
The stabilisation of GHG atmospheric concentrations at levels expected to prevent dangerous climate change has become an important, global, long-term objective. It is therefore crucial to identify a cost-effective way to achieve this objective. In this paper we use WITCH, a hybrid...

Emission Trading Restrictions with Endogenous Technological Change
Buonanno, Paolo; Carraro, Carlo; Castelnuovo, Efrem; … - 2015
In this paper we use a simple climate model with endogenous environmental technical change in order to analyse the effects on equity and efficiency of different degrees of restrictions on trade in the market for pollution permits. The model is obtained by incorporating in Nordhaus and Yang...
