Sustainable Cooperation in Global Climate Policy: Specific Formulas and Emission Targets to Build on Copenhagen and Cancun

Bosetti, Valentina; Frankel, Jeffrey - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011

We offer a framework to assign quantitative allocations of emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), across countries, one budget period at a time. Under the two-part plan: (i) China, India, and other developing countries accept targets at Business as Usual (BAU) in the coming budget period, the...

The Stability of Exchange Networks

Dogan, Gönül; Assen, M.A.L.M. van; Rijt, Arnout van de; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2007

This paper develops a formal model of exchange network stability that combines expected value theory (Friedkin 1995) with the economic literature on network dynamics. We identify stable networks up to size 8 for varying costs and investigate whether they are Pareto efficient and egalitarian....

Equity Weighting and the Marginal Damage Costs of Climate Change

Anthoff, David; Hepburn, Cameron; Tol, Richard S.J. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2007

development. Equity-weighted estimates of the (marginal) impact of greenhouse gas emissions reflect these differences. Equity …-weighted estimates of the marginal damage cost of carbon dioxide emissions are substantially higher than estimates without equity …-weights; equity-weights may also change the sign of the social cost estimates. Equity weights need to be normalised. Our estimates …

Abatement Technology and the Environment-Growth Nexus with Education

Pautrel, Xavier - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011

This article challenges the conventional result that a tighter environmental tax has no long-run effect on human capital accumulation in the presence of pollution arising from final output production. It demonstrates that the technology used in the abatement sector determines the existence and...

The Environment and Directed Technical Change

Acemoglu, Daron; Aghion, Philippe; Bursztyn, Leonardo; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010

This paper introduces endogenous and directed technical change in a growth model with environmental constraints. A unique final good is produced by combining inputs from two sectors. One of these sectors uses "dirty" machines and thus creates environmental degradation. Research can be directed...

Macroeconomic Implications of Demography for the Environment: A Life-Cycle Perspective

Pautrel, Xavier - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2009

This article studies how demography affects the outcome of the environmental policy in a macro-economic perspective, incorporating age-earning profiles in an OLG model à la Blanchard (1985) to capture the age structure effect of the demographic shocks. It first demonstrates, conversely to...
