While various empirical studies have found negative growth-effects of natural disasters, little is yet known about the … microeconomic channels through which disasters might affect short- and especially long-term growth. This paper contributes to …

Socio-economic criteria for climate projects have been used in analysing the value of the climate benefit of a reduction in CO2. These reports are optimistic, yet CCS demonstration plants are not implemented as expected. Little attention has been devoted to profitability assessments based on...

From a supply …-side perspective, carbon capture and storage (CCS) policies differ substantially from renewable energy policies: they increase fossil … renewable energy policies under more realistic parameter settings for imperfect or missing carbon prices.

I study climate policy choices for a “policy bloc” of fuel-importers, when a “fringe” of other fuel importers have no climate policy, fuel exporters consume no fossil fuels, and importers produce no such fuels. The policy bloc and exporter blocs act strategically in fossil fuel markets....

The focus of the green paradox literature has been either on demand-side climate policies or on effects of … supply-side policies, i.e. policies that per-manently remove some of the carbon resources. The conclusion is that there will … no green paradox if supply-side climate policies are aimed at high-cost carbon reserves. If instead low-cost reserves are …

We examine international cooperation on technological development as a supplement to, or an alternative to, international cooperation on emission reductions. R&D should be increased beyond the non-cooperative level if (i) the technology level in one country is positively affected by R&D in other...
