Politics and economics of second-best regulation of greenhouse gases : the importance of regulatory credibility
Bosetti, Valentina; Victor, David G. - 2010
Modellers have examined a wide array of ideal-world scenarios for regulation of greenhouse gases. In this ideal world …”—which has a strikingly small impact on total world cost of carbon regulations if international trade in emission credits allows … another factor that analysts have largely ignored: credibility. In the real world governments find it difficult to craft and …

Three key elements of post-2012 international climate policy architecture
Olmstead, Sheila M.; Stavins, Robert N. - 2010
We describe three essential elements of an effective post-2012 international global climate policy architecture: a means to ensure that key industrialized and developing nations are involved in differentiated but meaningful ways; an emphasis on an extended time path of targets; and inclusion of...

Delayed participation of developing countries to climate agreements: should action in the EU and US be postponed?
Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Tavoni, Massimo - 2008
This paper analyses the cost implications for climate policy in developed countries if developing countries are unwilling to adopt measures to reduce their own GHG emissions. First, we assume that a 450 CO2 (550 CO2e) ppmv stabilisation target is to be achieved and that Non Annex1 (NA1)...

Technology transfer in the non-traded sector as a means to combat global warming
Rübbelke, Dirk T. G.; Mukherjee, Vivekananda; Sanyal, Tilak - 2008
The paper considers a situation where two countries - the North and the South - use a non-traded polluting input to produce the goods for final consumption. The North is more efficient in both, production and abatement processes. The study compares the effects of the transfer of abatement...

Effects of the CDM on poverty eradication and global climate protection
Rübbelke, Dirk T. G.; Rive, Nathan - 2008
In an impure public good model we analyze the effects of CDM transfers on poverty as well as on the global climate protection level. We construct an analytical model of a developing and an industrialized region, both of which independently seek to maximize their utility - a function of private...

Carbon Kuznets Curves : long-run structural dynamics and policy events
Mazzanti, Massimiliano; Musolesi, Antonio - 2009
We study the structural differences among climate change leading "factors" - Northern EU members -, and lagging actors - southern EU countries and the "Umbrella group" - with regard to long run carbon-income relationships. Homogeneous and heterogeneous panel models show that the groups of...

Environmental Kuznets Curves for carbon emissions : a critical survey
Aslanidis, Nektarios - 2009
The empirical finding of an inverse U-shaped relationship between per capita income and pollution, the so-called Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC), suggests that as countries experience economic growth, environmental deterioration decelerates and thus becomes less of an issue. Focusing on the...
