The economics of geological CO2 storage and leakage
van der Zwaan, Bob; Gerlagh, Reyer - 2008
The economics of CO2 capture and storage in relation to the possibility of significant leakage of CO2 from geological reservoirs once this greenhouse gas has been stored artificially underground will be among the main determinants of whether CCS can significantly contribute to a deep cut in...

Carbon Dioxide Emission Scenarios for the Usa
Tol, Richard S.J. - 2006
A model of carbon dioxide emissions of the USA is presented. The model consists of population, income per capita, economic structure, final and primary energy intensity per sector, primary fuel mix, and emission coefficients. The model is simple enough to be calibrated to observations since...

Homeward bound : how migrants seek out familiar climates
Obolensky, Marguerite; Tabellini, Marco; Taylor, Charles A. - 2024
This paper introduces the concept of "climate matching" as a driver of migration and establishes several new results. First, we show that climate strongly predicts the spatial distribution of immigrants in the US, both historically (1880) and more recently (2015), whereby movers select...

How Overconfident are Current Projections of Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide Emissions?
Keller, Klaus; Miltich, Louise I.; Robinson, Alexander; … - 2007
Analyzing the risks of anthropogenic climate change requires sound probabilistic projections of CO2 emissions. Previous projections have broken important new ground, but many rely on out-of-range projections, are limited to the 21st century, or provide only implicit probabilistic information....

Too much oil
Gerlagh, Reyer - 2010
Fear for oil exhaustion and its consequences on economic growth has been a driver of a rich literature on exhaustible resources from the 1970s onwards. But our view on oil has remarkably changed and we now worry how we should constrain climate change damages associated with oil and other fossil...

Energy and climate change in China
Carraro, Carlo; Massetti, Emanuele - 2011
The paper examines future energy and emissions scenarios in China, presenting historical data and scenarios generated using the Integrated Assessment Model WITCH. A Business-as-Usual scenario is compared with four scenarios in which Greenhouse Gases emissions are taxed, at different levels. Key...

Climate change and the irreversibility effect: combining expected utility and MaxiMin
Lange, Andreas - 2002
based on a weighted average of expected utility (EU) and the MaxiMin criterion. I first show that more weight on the worst … case (less weight on EU) may lead to increased first period emissions. The effect of learning possibilities on emissions is …, considering prospective learning increases today?s abatement effort, i.e. the ?irreversibility effect? holds, if the weight on EU …

Climate politics from Kyoto to Bonn: from little to nothing?!?
Böhringer, Christoph - 2001
We investigate how the U.S. withdrawal and the amendments of the Bonn climate policy conference in 2001 will change the economic and environmental impacts of the Kyoto Protocol in its original form. Based on simulations with a large-scale computable general equilibrium model, we find that U.S....

Modeling linkages between climate policy and land use: an overview
van der Werf, Edwin; Peterson, Sonja - 2007
Agriculture and forestry play an important role in emitting and storing greenhouse gases. For an efficient and cost-effective climate policy it is therefore important to explicitly include land use, land use change, and forestry (LULUCF) in economyclimate models. This paper gives an overview and...
