The Potential Global and Developing Country Impacts of Alternative Emission Cuts and Accompanying Mechanisms for the Post Copenhagen Process
Tian, Huifang - 2010
We report numerical simulation results using a multiyear global multi country modeling framework which we use to assess the impacts of alternative emissions cuts which will likely come under consideration for the process to follow the December 2009 UNFCCC negotiation in Copenhagen. The...

Global Melting? The Economics of Disintegration of the Greenland Ice Sheet
Nordhaus, William D. - 2018
Concerns about the impact on large-scale earth systems have taken center stage in the scientific and economic analysis of climate change. The present study analyzes the economic impact of a potential disintegration of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS). The method is to combine a small geophysical...

A Survey of Global Impacts of Climate Change : Replication, Survey Methods, and a Statistical Analysis
Nordhaus, William D. - 2017
The present study has two objectives. The first is a review of studies that estimate the global economic impacts of climate change using a systematic research synthesis (SRS). In this review, we attempt to replicate the impact estimates provided by Tol (2009, 2014) and find a large number of...

Expect Above Average Temperatures : Identifying the Economic Impacts of Climate Change
Lemoine, Derek - 2017
A rapidly growing empirical literature seeks to estimate the costs of future climate change from time series variation in weather. I formally analyze the consequences of a change in climate for economic outcomes. I show that those consequences are driven by changes in the distribution of...

Projections and Uncertainties About Climate Change in an Era of Minimal Climate Policies
Nordhaus, William D. - 2016
Climate change remains one of the major international environmental challenges facing nations. Up to now, nations have to date adopted minimal policies to slow climate change. Moreover, there has been no major improvement in emissions trends as of the latest data. The current study uses the...
