Modelling Economic Impacts of Alternative International Climate Policy Architectures : A Quantitative and Comparative Assessment of Architectures for Agreement
Bosetti, Valentina - 2013
This paper provides a quantitative comparison of the main architectures for an agreement on climate policy. Possible successors to the Kyoto protocol are assessed according to four criteria: economic efficiency; environmental effectiveness; distributional implications; and their political...

Potentially Harmful International Cooperation on Global Public Good Provision
Buchholz, Wolfgang; Cornes, Richard C.; Rübbelke, Dirk … - 2021
Recent international climate negotiations suggest that complete agreements are unlikely to materialize. Instead, partial cooperation between like-minded countries appears a more likely outcome. In this paper we analyze the effects of such partial cooperation between like-minded countries. In...

The Fatter the Tail, the Fatter the Climate Agreement - Simulating the Influence of Fat Tails in Climate Change Damages on the Success of International Climate Negotiations
Dekker, Thijs; Dellink, Rob; Ketterer, Janina - 2021
International climate negotiations take place in a setting where uncertainties regarding the impacts of climate change are very large. In this paper, we examine the influence of increasing the probability and impact of large climate change damages, also known as the ‘fat tail’, on the...

On the Private Provision of Contentious Public Characteristics
Cornes, Richard C.; Rübbelke, Dirk T. G. - 2021
We extend the standard public good provision model to allow players to either like or dislike the public characteristic. Those who dislike it are able to take actions to reduce its level. We present conditions under which the existence of a unique non-cooperative equilibrium is retained, and...

Delayed Action and Uncertain Targets - How Much Will Climate Policy Cost?
Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Sgobbi, Alessandra; … - 2021
Despite the growing concern about actual on-going climate change, there is little consensus about the scale and timing of actions needed to stabilise the concentrations of greenhouse gases. Many countries are unwilling to implement effective mitigation strategies, at least in the short-term, and...
