We show that affluence is only one face of the medal and the range of future emissions is also … contrast, climate intensity varies less with economic growth and it is mostly driven by climate policy. African emissions could …

Analyzing the risks of anthropogenic climate change requires sound probabilistic projections of CO2 emissions. Previous … aggregated observations of population size, economic output, and CO2 emissions over the last three centuries into a simple … economic model. We use this model to derive probabilistic projections of business-as-usual CO2 emissions to the year 2150. We …

This paper examines the relationship between biofuels and commodity food prices in the U.S. from a new perspective. While a large body of literature has tried to explain the linkages between sample means and volatilities associated with ethanol and agricultural price returns, little is known...

This paper illustrates the main results of an expert elicitation survey on advanced (second and third generation) biofuel technologies. The survey focuses on eliciting probabilistic information on the future costs of advanced biofuels and on the potential role of RD&D (Research, Development and...
