The role of public-private partnerships in local infrastructure : the case of carbon offset projects
Teichmann, Dorothee - Université Paris-Dauphine (Paris IX) - 2011
Investment in low carbon infrastructure is considered an important component of the fight against climate change. The mechanisms of climate regulation (such as carbon offsets) transfer to project developers the risks associated with reducing emissions of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, i.e....

Abatement and evolution in the European electric power sector in reaction to the EU ETS carbon price signal
Shaw, Suzanne - Université Paris-Dauphine (Paris IX) - 2012
The electricity sector is the single most important EU ETS sector and will have determinant role in EU ETS emissions and emissions reductions. As such, understanding the reaction of the sector to EUA or carbon permit prices, both in the short-term (production) and in the long-term (investment)...

La Stern Review : le parti pris de l’action face au risque climatique
De Perthuis, Christian - Université Paris-Dauphine (Paris IX) - 2007
The Stern Review constitutes today the most complete and didactic synthesis of the economics of climate change. Despite appearances, it is not, however, a simple reference manual. Its most attractive feature is the author’s commitment to action in the face of climactic risk. The report’s...

Discounting the Future: the Case of Climate Change
Ekeland, Ivar - Université Paris-Dauphine (Paris IX) - 2010
According to the Stern Report on climate change, the course of the next fifty years is set: present policies will impact only in the very long term, fifty to two hundred years from now. There is no market for interest rates, so far into the future, and economists must find other ways to set...

Will technological progress be sufficient to effectively lead the air transport to a sustainable development in the mid-term (2025)?
Chèze, Benoit; Chevallier, Julien; Gastineau, Pascal - Université Paris-Dauphine (Paris IX) - 2013
The aim of this article is to investigate whether anticipated technological progress can be expected to be strong enough to offset carbon dioxide (CO2)emissions resulting from the rapid growth of air transport. Aviation CO2 emissions projections are provided at the worldwide level and for eight...
