Economic and Poverty Impacts of a Voluntary Carbon Reduction for a Small Liberalized Developing Economy: The Case of the Philippines
Corong, Erwin L. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2007
This paper analyzes the economic and poverty effects of a voluntary carbon emission reduction for a small liberalized economy—the Philippines. The simulation results indicate that tariff reductions undertaken by the Philippine government between 1994 and 2005 reduced the cost of fossil fuels...

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...

Urban Environmental Health and Sensitive Populations: How Much are the Italians Willing to Pay to Reduce Their Risks?
Alberini, Anna; Chiabai, Aline - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2005
We use contingent valuation to elicit WTP for a reduction in the risk of dying for cardiovascular and respiratory causes, the most important causes of premature mortality associated with heat wave and air pollution, among the Italian public. The purpose of this study is three-fold. First, we...

Proportionality of Willingness to Pay to Small Risk Changes – The Impact of Attitudinal Factors in Scope Tests
Leiter, Andrea M.; Pruckner, Gerald J. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2006
Sensitivity (proportionality) of willingness to pay to (small) risk changes is often used as a criterion to test for valid measures of economic preferences. In a contingent valuation (CV) study conducted in Austria in February 2005 1,005 respondents were asked their willingness to pay (WTP) for...

Controlling for Biases in Primary Valuation Studies: A Meta-analysis of International Coral Reef Values
Abdullah, Sabah; Rosenberger, Randall S. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012
This paper updates the existing meta-analysis in coral reef recreation taking into account the previous work of Brander et al. (2007) but considering some stated preference biases and/or effects. The present meta-analysis uses twice the number of observations as the previous one and sheds more...

Accounting for Different Uncertainties: Implications for Climate Investments?
Hector, Svenja - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
The paper clarifies the link between changes in risk aversion and the effect on the consumption discount rate. In a general framework that can cope with various forms of uncertainty, it is shown that the response of the consumption discount rate to a change in risk aversion depends on some...
