Facing the Experts: Survey Mode and Expert Elicitation
Baker, Erin; Bosetti, Valentina; Jenni, Karen E.; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014
In this paper we compare the results of two different expert elicitation methods: in-person interviews and a self-administered web-based survey. Traditional expert elicitation has been done face to face, with an elicitor meeting with an expert for a few hours to several days, depending on the...

Environmental Research Joint Ventures and Time-Consistent Emission Tax
Ouchida, Yasunori; Goto, Daisaku - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014
This paper presents an examination of the socially efficient formation of environmental R&D in Cournot duopoly in a setting where a regulator has no precommitment ability for an emission tax. The results reveal that if the environmental damage is slight, alternatively, given severe environmental...

The Relationship Between Environmental Efficiency and Manufacturing Firm’s Growth
Mazzanti, Massimiliano; Cainelli, Giulio; Zoboli, Roberto - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2008
This paper investigates the empirical link between emission intensity and economic growth, using a very large data set of 61,219 Italian manufacturing firms over the period 2000-2004. As a measure of lagged environmental performance (efficiency) at firm level we exploit NAMEA sector for CO2,...

The Effects of Expert Selection, Elicitation Design, and R&D Assumptions on Experts’ Estimates of the Future Costs of Photovoltaics
Verdolini, Elena; Anadon, Laura Diaz; Lu, Jiaqi; Nemet, … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2015
Expert elicitations of future energy technology costs can improve energy policy design by explicitly characterizing uncertainty. However, the recent proliferation of expert elicitation studies raises questions about the reliability and comparability of the results. In this paper, we standardize...
