Climate change: the global public good

Grasso, Marco - EconWPA - 2004

Climate change is the exemplary global public good, because each country’s emissions of greenhouse gases contribute cumulatively to the increase of the overall concentration, and each country’s abatements entail higher cost than benefit, unless effective concerted collective actions take...

A normative framework of justice in climate change

Grasso, Marco - EconWPA - 2004

The more the various dimensions of climate change are just, the more an international agreement is in principle attainable. That is the reason why justice plays a major role in favouring collective action against global warming. In this article I spell out the dominant notions of justice and the...

Public-Good Productivity Differentials and Non-Cooperative Public-Good Provision

Ley, Eduardo - EconWPA - 1996

We explore the generality of Konrad and Lommerud (1995)'s Rotten Spouse Theorem. While the result holds for an arbitrary number of agents, it fails to hold for general technologies. We discuss some of the implications for CO2-emissions models.

Allocating Risks in a Domestic Greenhouse Gas Trading System

Kerr, Suzi - EconWPA - 2003

As tradeable permit programmes mature, two inter-related issues are becoming more critical in creating viable responses to a long-term, highly uncertain environmental problem such as climate change. First, we need to update policies in response to new information; and second, we need to design...

Carbon Dynamics and Land-use Choices: Building a Regional-scale Multidisciplinary Model

Kerr, Suzi; Liu, Shuguang; Pfaff, Alexander; Hughes, Flint - EconWPA - 2003

Policy enabling tropical forests to approach their potential contribution to global-climate-change mitigation requires forecasts of land use and carbon storage on a large scale over long periods. In this paper, we present an integrated modeling methodology that addresses these needs. We model...

The likely regional impacts of an agricultural emissions policy in New Zealand: Preliminary analysis

Sin, Isabelle; Brunton, Emma; Hendy, Joanna; Kerr, Suzi - EconWPA - 2005

Hendy and Kerr (2005b) find that an emissions charge on agricultural methane and nitrous oxide of $25 per tonne of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent would be likely to reduce New Zealand’s net land-use related emissions for commitment period one in the order of 3%, with full accounting. The...
