Afforestation and Timber Management Compliance Strategies in Climate Policy. A Computable General Equilibrium Analysis
Michetti, Melania; Rosa, Renato Nunes - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
This paper analyzes the role of afforestation-reforestation and timber management activities, and their major and secondary economic effects in stabilizing climate during the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol. In particular, with a Computable General Equilibrium framework, the ICES...

REDD in the Carbon Market: A General Equilibrium Analysis
Bosello, Francesco; Eboli, Fabio; Parrado, Ramiro; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010
Deforestation is a major source of CO2 emissions, accounting for around 17% of total annual anthropogenic carbon release. While the cost estimates of reducing deforestation rates vary considerably depending on model assumptions, it is widely accepted that emissions reductions from avoided...

The European Emission Trading Scheme and Renewable Energy Policies: Credible Targets for Incredible Results?
Borghesi, Simone - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010
This paper discusses the merits and limits of the recent European energy policy aimed at reducing carbon emissions, devoting particular attention to the European Trading System of carbon permits and to the measures that the European Union has adopted to promote renewable energy sources. From the...

A Quantitative Assessment of the Implications of Including non-CO2 Emissions in the European ETS
Orecchia, Carlo; Parrado, Ramiro - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
Although CO2 emissions stand for most of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the contribution of mitigation efforts based on non-CO2 emissions is still a field that needs to be explored more thoroughly. Extending abatement opportunities to non-CO2 could reduce overall mitigation costs but it could...

The Impact of Climate Change on Agriculture: Nonlinear Effects and Aggregation Bias in Ricardian Models of Farm Land Values
Fezzi, Carlo; Bateman, Ian - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
Ricardian (hedonic) analyses of the impact of climate change on farmland values typically assume additively separable effects of temperature and precipitation. Model estimation is implemented on data aggregated across counties or large regions. We investigate the potential bias induced by such...

Estimating Ricardian Models With Panel Data
Massetti, Emanuele; Mendelsohn, Robert - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
Many nonmarket valuation models, such as the Ricardian model, have been estimated using cross sectional methods with a single year of data. Although multiple years of data should increase the robustness of such methods, repeated cross sections suggest the results are not stable. We argue that...
