Trade-offs between carbon sequestration, landscape aesthetics and biodiversity in a cost-benefit analysis of land use options in Norway
Iversen, Endre Kildal; Grimsrud, Kristine M.; Lindhjem, … - 2019
semi-natural pastureland. However, the program may have negative impacts on landscape aesthetics and biodiversity. We … from carbon sequestration and biodiversity seem more constant across space. The net present value of all land use … substantial hypothetical bias in benefit estimates and for cost increases. Results indicate that landscape and biodiversity values …

Climate Change and Production Risk in Chinese Aquaculture
Holst, Rainer; Yu, Xiaohua - 2011
Drawing on the method developed by Just and Pope (1978, 1979), this paper separately analyzes the marginal contributions of both regular input factors and climate factors to mean output and to production risk in Chinese inland aquaculture. Furthermore, the net change in output following a 1°C...

Climate Change, Risk and Grain Production in China
Holst, Rainer; Yu, Xiaohua; Grün, Carola - 2011
This paper employs the production function-based method proposed by Just and Pope (1978, 1979) to explicitly analyze production risk in the context of Chinese grain farming and climate change, and test for potential endogeneity of climate factors in Chinese grain production. Our results indicate...

Regional Agreements to Address Climate Change: Scope, Promise, Funding, and Impacts
Butzlaff, Iris; Grunewald, Nicole; Klasen, Stephan - 2013
There is a large number of regional agreements concerning Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, often linked to other regional integration agreements. The most successful one in making effort in reducing carbon emissions is the Emission Trading System by the European Union (EU ETS). Apart from this...

Regulation in the presence of adjustment costs and resource scarcity. Transition dynamics and intertemporal effects
Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid - 2017
This paper examines regulation in the presence of adjustment costs and resource scarcity, allowing for imperfectly informed firms. I find strong evidence that announcement of future environmental regulation will reduce current emissions in the combined presence of resource scarcity and...

On the effects of linking voluntary cap-and-trade systems for CO2 emissions
Weitzman, Martin L.; Holtsmark, Bjart - 2018
Linkage of cap-and-trade systems is typically advocated by economists on a general analogy with the beneficial linking of free-trade areas and on the specific grounds that linkage will ensure cost effectiveness among the linked jurisdictions. An appropriate and widely accepted specification for...

Cutting Costs of Catching Carbon. Intertemporal effects under imperfect climate policy
Hoel, Michael; Jensen, Svenn - 2010
We use a two-period model to investigate intertemporal effects of cost reductions in climate change mitigation technologies for the power sector. With imperfect climate policies, cost reductions related to carbon capture and storage (CCS) may be more desirable than comparable cost reductions...

To what extent are temperature levels changing due to greenhouse gas emissions?
Dagsvik, John K.; Moen, Sigmund H. - 2023
Weather and temperatures vary in ways that are difficult to explain and predict precisely. In this article we review data on temperature variations in the past as well possible reasons for these variations. Subsequently, we review key properties of global climate models and statistical analyses...

Strategic behavior in IEAs: When and why countries joined the Kyoto Protocol
Almer, Christian; Winkler, Ralph - 2010
We empirically analyze the formation of international environmental agreements within a political economy framework. We develop a theoretical model of state dependent net benefits of ratification predicting (i) strategic behavior with respect to the timing of ratification and (ii) that...

Global climate change and the funding of adaptation
Buob, Seraina; Stephan, Gunter - 2008
Mitigation and adaptation are the most important strategies in combating global climate change. It is expected that in a post Kyoto world industrialized countries have to engage in greenhouse gas abatement, and to support developing countries in adapting to climate change. Within the framework...
