Should we give up after Solyndra? : optimal technology R&D portfolios under uncertainty

Webster, Mort; Fisher-Vanden, Karen; Popp, David; … - 2015

Global climate change and other environmental challenges require the development of new energy technologies with lower emissions. In the near-term, R&D investments, either by government or the private sector, can bring down the costs of these lower emission technologies. However, the results of...

Modeling uncertainty in climate change : a multi-model comparison

Gillingham, Kenneth; Nordhaus, William D.; Anthoff, David; … - 2015

The economics of climate change involves a vast array of uncertainties, complicating both the analysis and development of climate policy. This study presents the results of the first comprehensive study of uncertainty in climate change using multiple integrated assessment models. The study looks...

Morocco's unique situation in the climate change arena : an analysis of climate forecasts and their link to agriculture

Ouraich, Ismail; Tyner, Wallace E. - 2014

Alterations in rainfall patterns and increasing temperatures due to climate change will most likely translate into yield reductions in desirable crops. In this particular context, the object of this paper is to lay down findings and results for projected yield impacts in Morocco using a...

On welfare frameworks and catastrophic climate risks

Millner, Antony - 2013

Recent theoretical work in the economics of climate change has suggested that climate policy is highly sensitive to "fat-tailed" risks of catastrophic outcomes (Weitzman, 2009b). Such risks are suggested to be an inevitable consequence of scientific uncertainty about the effects of increased...
