Optimal CO2-abatement with socio-economic inertia and induced technological change

Schwoon, Malte; Tol, Richard S.J. - Forschungsstelle Nachhaltige Umweltentwicklung (ZMK), … - 2004

The impact of induced technological change (ITC) in energy/climate models on the timing of optimal CO2-abatement depends on whether R&D or learning-by-doing (LBD) is the driving force. Bottom-up energy system models employing LBD suggest strong increases in optimal early abatement. In this paper...

THE BENEFITS OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION REDUCTION: AN APPLICATION OF FUND

Tol, Richard S.J. - Forschungsstelle Nachhaltige Umweltentwicklung (ZMK), … - 2005

The avoided damages of climate change are estimated for a range of emission reduction policies from a range of business as usual scenarios. In the emission abatement scenarios, concentrations of greenhouse gases overshoot before falling to a stable level. The peak concentrations are used to...

Land use decision modeling with dynamically updated soil carbon emission rates

Schneider, Uwe A. - Forschungsstelle Nachhaltige Umweltentwicklung (ZMK), … - 2004

Soil carbon can be sequestered through different land management options depending on the soil carbon status at the beginning of a management period. This initial status results from a given soil management history in a given soil climate regime. Similarly, the prediction of future carbon...

THE IMPACT OF THE EU-US OPEN SKIES AGREEMENT ON INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL AND CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS

Mayor, Karen; Tol, Richard S.J. - Forschungsstelle Nachhaltige Umweltentwicklung (ZMK), … - 2007

We use a model of domestic and international tourist numbers and flows to estimate the impact of the EU-US Open Skies agreement that is to take effect in March 2008. The Open Aviation Area will result in increased competition between transatlantic carriers and consequently falls in the cost of...

Economy-wide Impacts of Climate on Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa

Calzadilla, Alvaro; Zhu, Tingju; Rehdanz, Katrin; Tol, … - Forschungsstelle Nachhaltige Umweltentwicklung (ZMK), …

Two possible adaptation options to climate change for Sub-Saharan Africa are analyzed under the SRES B2 scenario. The first scenario doubles irrigated areas in Sub-Saharan Africa by 2050, compared to the baseline, but keeps total crop area constant. The second scenario increases both rainfed and...

THE SOCIAL COST OF CARBON: TRENDS, OUTLIERS AND CATASTROPHES

Tol, Richard S.J. - Forschungsstelle Nachhaltige Umweltentwicklung (ZMK), … - 2007

211 estimates of the social cost of carbon are included in a meta-analysis. The results confirm that a lower discount rate implies a higher estimate; and that higher estimates are found in the gray literature. It is also found that there is a downward trend in the economic impact estimates of the...
