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...

Economic Costs of Ocean Acidification: A Look into the Impacts on Shellfish Production

Narita, Daiju; Rehdanz, Katrin; Tol, Richard S.J. - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2011

Ocean acidification is increasingly recognized as a major global problem. Yet economic assessments of its effects are currently almost absent. Unlike most other marine organisms, mollusks, which have significant commercial value worldwide, have relatively solid scientific evidence of biological...

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...
