Assessing China's energy conservation and carbon intensity : how will the future differ from the past?
Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2010 - This version: May 24, 2010
As an important step towards building a "harmonious society" through "scientific development", China has incorporated for the first time in its five-year economic plan an energy input indicator as a constraint. While it achieved a quadrupling of its GDP while cutting its energy intensity by...

Scanning for global greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets and their distributions
Schleicher, Stefan P.; Köppl, Angela - 2012
If dangerous and irreversible climatic events are to be avoided, global average temperature should not increase by more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels. In order to achieve such a global target, a mitigation pathway has to limit global emissions to about 50 percent below 1990 levels by...

Driving Factors of Carbon Dioxide Emissions and the Impact from Kyoto Protocol
Grunewald, Nicole; Martínez-Zarzoso, Inmaculada - 2021
In the last two decades increasing attention has been paid to the relationship between environmental degradation and economic development. According to the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis this relationship may be described by an inverted-U curve. However, recent evidence rejects the...

Assessing the Effects of Climate Policy on Companies' Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Montoya, Ana Maria - 2017
We study the effect of climate policy on companies' greenhouse gas emissions using emissions data for the headquarters and subsidiaries of the world's biggest manufacturing, energy, and utility companies. Our results suggest that financial incentives and legal requirements to audit energy use...

RICE-MED, an integrated assessment model for the Mediterranean basin : assessing the climate-economy-agriculture nexus
Castelli, Chiara; Castellini, Marta; Gusperti, Camilla; … - 2023
In this work we update the regionalization and the calibration of the Regional dynamic Integrated model of Climate and the Economy (RICE) in its 1999 version developed by Nordhaus and Boyer (2000), with a focus on the Mediterranean countries. Our aim is to assess the impact of climate change...

An integrated assessment of climate change, air pollution, and energy security policy
Bollen, Johannes; Hers, Sebastiaan; Zwaan, Bob van der - 2009
This article presents an integrated assessment of climate change, air pollution, and energy security policy. Basis of our analysis is the MERGE model, designed to study the interaction between the global economy, energy use, and the impacts of climate change. For our purposes we expanded MERGE...

Climate change impacts on birth outcomes in Brazil
Pereda, Paula Carvalho; Menezes, Tatiane; Alves, … - 2014
This paper attempts to identify the climatic effect on birth outcomes in Brazil and, thus, to predict the potential impact of climate change. Panel data models indicate that excess and lack of rainfall have the most important harmful effects on newborns' health; temperature stresses and low...

The politics of market linkage : linking domestic climate policies with international political economy
Green, Jessica F.; Sterner, Thomas; Wagner, Gernot - 2014
After twenty years of global negotiations, the world is still far from a comprehensive climate agreement. The "top-down" approach embodied by the Kyoto Protocol has all but stalled, chiefly due to disagreements over levels of ambition and objections to financial transfers. To avoid those...

Economic implications of EU mitigation policies : domestic and international effects
Bosello, Francesco; Davide, Marinella; Alloisio, Isabella - 2016
The EU has a consolidated climate and energy regulation: it played a pioneering role by adopting a wide range of … climate change policies and establishing the first regional Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS). These policies, however, raise … the potential extra-EU spillover of the EU mitigation policy with a particular attention to developing countries. The …
