Do Geographical Variations in Climate Influence Life Satisfaction?
Murray, Thomas; Maddison, David; Rehdanz, Katrin - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2011
Accounting for socioeconomic and demographic variables as well as country specific effects, households’ willingness to pay for changes in climate is revealed using European data on reported life satisfaction. Individuals located in areas with lower average levels of sunshine and higher average...

Risk premia and the social cost of carbon: A review
Kousky, Carolyn; Kopp, Robert E.; Cooke, Roger - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2011
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions not only lowers expected damages from climate change but also reduces the risk of catastrophic impacts. However, estimates of the social cost of carbon, which measures the marginal value of carbon dioxide abatement, often do not capture this risk reduction...

The influence of the specification of climate change damages on the social cost of carbon
Kopp, Robert E.; Golub, Alexander; Keohane, Nathaniel O.; … - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2011
Drawing upon climate change damage functions previously proposed in the literature that we have calibrated to a common level of damages at 2.5 C, we examine the effect upon the social cost of carbon (SCC) of varying the specification of damages in a DICE-like integrated assessment model. In the...

The DART general equilibrium model: A technical description
Springer, Katrin - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 1998
This paper provides a technical description of the Dynamic Applied Regional Trade (DART) General Equilibrium Model. The DART model is a recursive dynamic, multi-region, multi-sector computable general equilibrium model. All regions are fully specified and linked by bilateral trade flows. The...

Climate Change, Agricultural Production and Food Security: Evidence from Yemen
Breisinger, Clemens; Ecker, Olivier; Al-Riffai, Perrihan; … - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2011
This paper provides a model-based assessment of local and global climate change impacts for the case of Yemen, focusing on agricultural production, household incomes and food security. Global climate change is mainly transmitted through rising world food prices. Our simulation results suggest...

The social cost of carbon on an optimal balanced growth path
Kögel, Tomas - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2011
This paper derives analytically the growth rate of the social cost of carbon (SSC) on an optimal balanced growth path. More specifically, the paper examines a deterministic Ramsey model of optimal economic growth with carbon emissions. In this model, restrictions on technology and preferences...

A tale of tails: Uncertainty and the social cost of carbon dioxide
Pycroft, Jonathan; Vergano, Lucia; Hope, Chris; Paci, … - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2011
Recent thinking about the economics of climate change has concerned the uncertainty about the upper bound of both climate sensitivity to greenhouse gases and the damages that might occur at high temperatures. This argument suggests that the appropriate probability distributions for these factors...
