Can Numerical Models Estimate Indirect Land-use Change?
Brunelle, Thierry; Dumas, Patrice - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012
Motivated by the conclusions from various modelling studies, modifications to the bioenergy sector regulations are under way in Europe and in the USA to account for emissions from indirect land-use change (ILUC). Despite their influence on the policy-making, evaluations of the capacity of...

On the Mechanism of International Technology Diffusion for Energy Technological Progress
Jin, Wei; Zhang, ZhongXiang - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2015
International diffusion of energy-saving technologies has received considerable attention in recent energy and climate economics studies. As a helpful methodological complement to the existing large-scale CGE/IAM–based modelling for energy and climate policy studies, this paper contributes to...

On the Mechanism of International Technology Diffusion for Energy Productivity Growth
Jin, Wei; Zhang, ZhongXiang - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014
International diffusion of advanced environment and energy-related technologies has received much attention in recent environmental economics studies. As a much needed complement to the “black box” complex numerical modelling, this paper contributes to developing a simple, intuitive...

From Energy-intensive to Innovation-led Growth: On the Transition Dynamics of China’s Economy
Jin, Wei; Zhang, ZhongXiang - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014
Whether China continues its current energy-intensive growth path or adopts a sustainable development prospect has significant implication for energy and climate governance. Building on a Ramsey-Cass-Koopmans growth model incorporating the mechanism of endogenous technological change and its...

On Biology and Technology: The Economics of Managing Biotechnologies
Goeschl, Timo; Swanson, Timothy - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2003
This paper considers those sectors of the economy that operate under the same regimes of rewarding private innovators as others, but differ in that they face recurring problems of resistance, as occur in the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries. This recurrence originates in the natural...

The Effect of Risk, Ambiguity and Coordination on Farmers’ Adaptation to Climate Change: A Framed Field Experiment
Alpizar, Francisco; Carlsson, Fredrik; Naranjo, Maria - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010
differ between farmers sharing a productive landscape. It is important to learn more about how farmers react to different … farmers in Tarrazu, Costa Rica. Given that the region recently was severely hit by an extreme, albeit very infrequent …, climatic event, we expected to observe, and found high levels of risk aversion, but we do observe farmers making trade …

Energy Prices and the Real Exchange Rate of Commodity-Exporting Countries
Dauvin, Magali - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
This paper investigates the relationship between energy prices and the real effective exchange rate of commodity-exporting countries. We consider two sets of countries: 10 energy-exporting and 23 non-fuel commodity-exporting countries over the period 1980-2011. Estimating a panel cointegrating...

The Market Value of Variable Renewables
Hirth, Lion - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012
The income that wind and solar power receive on the market is affected by the variability of their output. At times of high availability of the primary energy source, they supply electricity at zero marginal costs, shift the supply curve (merit-order curve) to the right and thereby reduce the...
