Feeding the cities and greenhouse gas emissions: a new economic geography approach
De Cara, Stéphane; Fournier, Anne; Gaigné, Carl - Chaire d'Économie du Climat, Université … - 2011
In this paper, we argue ’buying local’ does not necessarily reduces transport-related greenhouse gas emissions even if transport and production technologies, as well as natural endowment are homogeneous in space. We develop a model of rural-urban systems where the spatial distribution of...

Marginal abatement costs of greenhouse gas emissions from European agriculture, cost effectiveness, and the EU non-ETS Burden Sharing Agreement
De Cara, Stéphane; Jayet, Pierre-Alain - Chaire d'Économie du Climat, Université … - 2011
We propose a quantitative assessment of the marginal abatement costs (MAC) of greenhouse gas emissions from European agriculture and analyze the implications of the non-ETS burden-sharing agreement (BSA) for this sector. This assessment is based on MAC reduced forms, the generic specification of...
