Climate policy and development

Gersbach, Hans; Hummel, Noemi - 2009

We propose a development-compatible refunding system designed to mitigate climate change. Industrial countries pay an initial fee into a global fund. Each country chooses its national carbon tax. Part of the global fund is refunded to developing and industrial countries, in proportion to the...

Rapacious resource depletion, excessive investment and insecure property rights

Ploeg, Frederick van der - 2010

For a country fractionalized in competing factions, each owning part of the stock of natural exhaustible resources, or with insecure property rights, we analyze how resources are transformed into productive capital to sustain consumption. We allow property rights to improve as the country...

Unilateral climate policy, asymmetric backstop adoption, and carbon leakage in a two-region hotelling model

Van der Werf, Edwin - 2010

We study backstop adoption and carbon dioxide emission paths in a two-region model with unilateral climate policy and non-renewable resource consumption. The regions have an equal endowment of the internationally tradable resource and a backstop technology. We first study the case of a...

The Bounty of the Sea and long-run development

Dalgaard, Carl-Johan; Knudsen, Anne Sofie B.; Selaya, Pablo - 2015

What is the long run impact on development from differences in subsistence strategies during pre-industrial times? Whereas this question has been explored from the point of view of agriculture, remarkably little attention has been paid to the complementary strategy of relying on marine...

The green paradox : a supply-side view of the climate problem

Sinn, Hans-Werner - 2015

Why have policies aimed at reducing the demand for carbon not succeeded in slowing down global carbon extraction and CO2 emissions, and why have carbon prices failed to increase over the last three decades? This comment argues that this is because of the Green Paradox, i.e. - (the anticipation...

Climate change, rice crops and violence : evidence from Indonesia

Caruso, Raul; Petrarca, Ilaria; Ricciuti, Roberto - 2014

This paper adopts an instrumental variable approach to uncover the impact of variations in minimum temperature on emergence and severity of actual violence through the effect on food availability, captured by rice crops per capita. The link between increase in minimum temperature and rice crops...

Knowing the damages is not enough : the general equilibrium impacts of climate change

Kalkuhl, Matthias; Edenhofer, Ottmar - 2016

We show that economies may exhibit a strong endogenous macroeconomic adaptation response to climate change. If climate change induces a structural change to the more productive sector, economies can benefit from climate change though productivities in both sectors are reduced. If climate change...
