Geoengineering and Abatement: A “flat” Relationship under Uncertainty
Emmerling, Johannes; Tavoni, Massimo - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
The potential of geoengineering as an alternative or complementary option to mitigation and adaptation has received increased interest in recent years. The scientific assessment of geoengineering is driven to a large extent by assumptions about its effectiveness, costs, and impacts, all of which...

Climate Policies: a Burden or a Gain?
Bréchet, Thierry; Tulkens, Henry - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
That climate policies are costly is evident and therefore often creates major fears. But the alternative (no action) also has a cost. Mitigation costs and damages incurred depend on what the climate policies are; moreover, they are substitutes. This brings climate policies naturally in the realm...

International Technology Spillovers in Climate-Economy Models: Two Possible Approaches
Cian, Enrica De - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2006
This paper analyzes two possible methodologies of modeling international technology spillovers in a climate-economy CGE model. Technological change, by affecting productivity, energy and carbon intensity, eventually influences the amount of CO2 emissions, the costs and the timing of the policies...

Impure Public Goods and Technological Interdependencies
Rübbelke, Dirk T.G.; Löschel, Andreas - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2005
Impure public goods represent an important group of goods. Almost every public good exerts not only effects which are public to all but also effects which are private to the producer of this good. What is often omitted in the analysis of impure public goods is the fact that – regularly –...

Fossil Fuel Extraction and Climate Policy: A Review of the Green Paradox with Endogenous Resource Exploration
Österle, Ines - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012
Policies aimed at reducing emissions from fossil fuels may increase climate damages. This “Green Paradox” emerges if resource owners increase near-term extraction in fear of stricter future policy measures. Hans-Werner Sinn (2008) showed that the paradox occurs when increasing resource taxes...

Can Climate Policy Enhance Sustainability?
Campagnolo, Lorenza; Carraro, Carlo; Davide, Marinella; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
Implementing an effective climate policy is one of the main challenges for our future. Even though ambitious mitigation targets are necessarily costly, curbing GHG emissions can prevent future irreversible impacts of climate change on human kind and the environment. Climate policy is therefore...
