Modelling Economic Impacts of Alternative International Climate Policy Architectures: A Quantitative and Comparative Assessment of Architectures for Agreement

Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Sgobbi, Alessandra; … - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2008

This paper provides a quantitative comparison of the main architectures for an agreement on climate policy. Possible successors to the Kyoto protocol are assessed according to four criteria: economic efficiency; environmental effectiveness; distributional implications; and their political...

Optimal Transfers and Participation Decisions in International Environmental Agreements

Carraro, Carlo; Eyckmans, Johan; Finus, Michael - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2005

The literature on international environmental agreements has recognized the role transfers play in encouraging participation in international environmental agreements (IEAs), but the few results achieved so far are overly specific and do not exploit the full potential of transfers for successful...

Banking Permits: Economic Efficiency and Distributional Effects

Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Massetti, Emanuele - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2008

Most analyses of the Kyoto flexibility mechanisms focus on the cost effectiveness of "where" flexibility (e.g. by showing that mitigation costs are lower in a global permit market than in regional markets or in permit markets confined to Annex 1 countries). Less attention has been devoted to...

Regional and Sub-Global Climate Blocs. A Game-Theoretic Perspective on Bottom-up Climate Regimes

Buchner, Barbara; Carraro, Carlo - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2005

No international regime on climate change is going to be fully effective in controlling GHG emissions without the involvement of countries such as China, India, the United States, Australia, and possibly other developing countries. This highlights an unambiguous weakness of the Kyoto Protocol,...

Delayed Participation of Developing Countries to Climate Agreements: Should Action in the EU and US be Postponed?

Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Tavoni, Massimo - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 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)...

Delayed Action and Uncertain Targets. How Much Will Climate Policy Cost?

Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Sgobbi, Alessandra; … - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2008

Despite the growing concern about actual on-going climate change, there is little consensus about the scale and timing of actions needed to stabilise the concentrations of greenhouse gases. Many countries are unwilling to implement effective mitigation strategies, at least in the short-term, and...

Emissions Trading Regimes and Incentives to Participate in International Climate Agreements

Buchner, Barbara; Carraro, Carlo - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2004

This Paper analyses whether different emission trading regimes provide different incentives to participate in a cooperative climate agreement. Different incentive structures are discussed for those countries, namely the US, Russia and China, that are most important in the climate negotiation...

Sources of Comparative Advantage in Polluting Industries

Broner, Fernando A; Bustos, Paula; Carvalho, Vasco M - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2012

We study the determinants of comparative advantage in polluting industries. We combine data on environmental policy at the country level with data on pollution intensity at the industry level to show that countries with laxer environmental regulation have a comparative advantage in polluting...

Decomposing U.S. Water Use Since 1950. Is the U.S. Experience Replicable?

Debaere, Peter; Kurzendoerfer, Amanda - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2015

Water use in the U.S. has followed a remarkable pattern since 1950, not mimicking the almost uninterrupted 110 percent … improvement in per capita GDP. After doubling between 1950 and 1980, the total volume of water withdrawn has stabilized and even ….S. to produce each dollar of its GDP with increasingly less water stems from long-term structural changes of the U …
