Estimating the impact of climate change on agricultural production: accounting for technology heterogeneity across countries
Exenberger, Andreas; Pondorfer, Andreas; Wolters, Maik - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2014
We estimate the impact of climate change on agricultural production in a panel of 127 countries from 1961 to 2002. In contrast to the existing literature we account for cross-sectional dependence and technology heterogeneity. We find no significant impact of climate change on agricultural...

The results indicate that a water policy directed … to improvements in irrigation efficiency in water-stressed regions is not beneficial for all. For water-stressed regions … the effects on welfare and demand for water are mostly positive. For non-water scarce regions the results are more mixed …

The social cost of atmospheric release
Shindell, Drew T. - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2013
The author presents a multi-impact economic valuation framework called the Social Cost of Atmospheric Release (SCAR) that extends the Social Cost of Carbon (SCC) used previously for carbon dioxide (CO2) to a broader range of pollutants and impacts. Values consistently incorporate health and...

Modeling linkages between climate policy and land use: An Overview
Werf, Edwin van der; Peterson, Sonja - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2007
Agriculture and forestry play an important role in emitting and storing greenhouse gases. For an efficient and cost-effective climate policy it is therefore important to explicitly include land use, land use change, and forestry (LULUCF) in economy-climate models. This paper gives an overview...

Carbon Emissions and Economic Growth: Homogeneous Causality in Heterogeneous Panels
Maddison, David; Rehdanz, Katrin - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2008
This paper introduces the concept of homogeneous non-causality in heterogeneous panels. This concept is used to examine a panel of data for evidence of a causal relationship between GDP and carbon emissions. The technique is compared to the standard test for homogeneous non-causality in...

Including Maritime Transport in the EU´s Climate Change Policy: Country-Based Allocation and Effects
Heitmann, Nadine - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2013
The European Union (EU) is actively campaigning for the global regulation of carbon emissions generated by maritime bunker fuels because these emissions are presently barely regulated and are projected to increase significantly in the coming decades. However, since a global regulation has not...
