Capturing Key Energy and Emission Trends in CGE Models : Assessment of Status and Remaining Challenges
Faehn, Taran - 2020
Limiting global warming in line with the goals in the Paris Agreement will require substantial technological and behavioural transformations. This challenge drives many of the current modelling trends. This paper undertakes a review of 17 state-of-the-art recursive-dynamic computable general...

Advancing Global Carbon Abatement with a Two-Tier Climate Club
Iverson, Terrence - 2022
A two-tier climate club exploits the comparative advantage of large countries to mete out punishments through trade, while taking their capacity to resist punishment as a constraint. Countries outside the coalition price carbon at a fixed fraction of the average carbon price adopted within the...

Can a Growing World be Fed when the Climate is Changing?
Dietz, Simon - 2020
1960 to 2015. The model integrates several features necessary to study the problem, including an explicit agriculture … sector, endogenous fertility, directed technical change and fossil/renewable energy. We estimate the world economy is more … than one trillion dollars smaller, and world population more than 80 million smaller, than would have been the case without …

Optimal Carbon Pricing in General Equilibrium : Temperature Caps and Stranded Assets in an Extended Annual DSGE Model
van der Ploeg, Rick; Rezai, Armon - 2021
The general equilibrium model developed by Golosov et al. (2014), GHKT for short, is modified to allow for additional negative impacts of global warming on utility and productivity growth, mean reversion in the ratio of climate damages to production, labour-augmenting technical progress, and...

Modeling Russia for Climate Change Issues
Bayar, Ali; Dramais, Frédéric; Mohora, Cristina; … - 2010
This paper presents the dynamic multi-sector general equilibrium model for the Russian Federation (RusMod) and carbon emission projections for Russia up to 2020. Projection results emphasise the importance of accomplishing strong energy efficiency gains, and their effect on the economy and on...

Relative Prices and Climate Policy : How the Scarcity of Non-Market Goods Drives Policy Evaluation
Drupp, Moritz A. - 2020
Climate change not only impacts production and market consumption, but also the relative scarcity of non-market goods, such as environmental amenities. We study fundamental drivers of the resulting relative price changes, their potential magnitude, and their implications for climate policy in...

Measuring Religion from Behavior : Climate Shocks and Religious Adherence in Afghanistan
Dube, Oeindrila; Blumenstock, Joshua Evan; Callen, Michael - 2022
Religious adherence has been hard to study in part because it is hard to measure. We develop a new measure of religious adherence, which is granular in both time and space, using anonymized mobile phone transaction records. After validating the measure with traditional data, we show how it can...

Cumulative Climate Shocks and Migratory Flows : Evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa
Falco, Salvatore; B. Kis, Anna; Viarengo, Martina - 2022
We re-examine the effects of negative weather anomalies during the growing season on the decision to migrate in rural households in five sub-Saharan African countries. To this end we combine a multi-country household panel dataset with high-resolution gridded precipitation data. We find that...
