How the nature of inequality reduction matters for CO2 emissions
Angel, Tobias; Berthe, Alexandre; Costantini, Valeria; … - 2024
This study investigates the relationship between distinct types of inequality and CO2 emissions using panel data on 156 countries from 1995 to 2020. Using fixed effects panel and quantile regression techniques, we report estimates that indicate that pre-distribution (inequality reduction by...

Population Under a Cap on Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Bohn, Henning - 2013
A cap on greenhouse gas emissions makes total emissions a fixed common-property resource. Population increases under a cap are therefore self-limiting: a population increase raises labor and reduces emissions per unit of labor, which lowers incomes and fertility. Because a marginal birth under a...

Who emits CO2 ? : landscape of ecological inequalities in France from a critical perspective
Pottier, Antonin; Combet, Emmanuel; Cayla, Jean-Michel; … - 2021
This article provides a panorama of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission inequalities between French households. It presents in a detailed and critical manner the methodological conventions that are used to compute "household emissions", including the related assumptions. The most common responsibility...

Will Skycrapers Save the Planet? Building Height Limits and Urban Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Borck, Rainald - 2021
This paper studies the effectiveness of building height limits as a policy to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It shows that building height limits lead to urban sprawl and higher emissions from commuting. On the other hand, aggregate housing consumption may decrease which reduces emissions...

Quantifying the ancillary benefits of the representative concentration pathways on air quality in Europe
Šcasný, Milan; Massetti, Emanuele; Melichar, Jan; … - 2015
This paper presents estimates of the economic benefit of air quality improvements in Europe that occur as a side effect of GHG emission reductions. We consider three climate policy scenarios that reach radiative forcing levels in 2100 of three Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs). These...

Beyond 2020 : strategies and costs for transforming the European energy system
Knopf, Brigitte; Chen, Yen-heng Henry; De Cian, Enrica; … - 2014
The Energy Modeling Forum 28 (EMF28) study systematically explores the energy system transition required to meet the European goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 80% by 2050. The 80% scenario is compared to a reference case that aims to achieve a 40% GHG reduction target. The...

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...

The role of competition in the transition to climate neutrality
Zachmann, Georg - 2022
The transition to climate neutrality requires the reallocation of production factors from polluting activities to non-polluting activities. The main push for this reallocation will come from governmental decarbonisation targets that are translated into stringent climate policy tools, such as...
