Agricultural adaptation to climate change in rich and poor countries: Current modeling practice and potential for empirical contributions

Hertel, Thomas W.; Lobell, David B. - In: Energy Economics 46 (2014) C, pp. 562-575

In this paper we discuss the scope of the adaptation challenge facing world agriculture in the coming decades. Due to rising temperatures throughout the tropics, pressures for adaptation will be greatest in some of the poorest parts of the world where the adaptive capacity is least abundant. We...

On the economics of renewable energy sources

Edenhofer, Ottmar; Hirth, Lion; Knopf, Brigitte; Pahle, … - In: Energy Economics 40 (2013) S1, pp. 12-12

With the global expansion of renewable energy (RE) technologies, the provision of optimal RE policy packages becomes an important task. We review pivotal aspects regarding the economics of renewables that are relevant to the design of an optimal RE policy, many of which are to date unresolved....

Implications of a lowered damage trajectory for mitigation in a continuous-time stochastic model

Strand, Jon - In: Energy Economics 42 (2014) C, pp. 43-49

We provide counterexamples to the idea that mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, and adaptation to climate change …, are always substitutes. We consider optimal mitigation policy when climate damages follow a geometric Brownian motion … process with positive drift and mitigation is lumpy. Climate damages can be affected by adaptation in two main ways: 1 …

Combining carbon tax and R&D subsidy for climate change mitigation

Lim, Jong-Soo; Kim, Yong-Gun - In: Energy Economics 34 (2012) S3, pp. 496-496

R&D industry is introduced into a CGE model (KEI-Linkages) as a means to mimic the endogenous technological progress in the Korean economy. We found that providing across-the-board subsidy on R&D expenditure may lead to an increase in the carbon intensity, as well as the real GDP for the Korean...

Household transitions to energy efficient lighting

Mills, Bradford; Schleich, Joachim - In: Energy Economics 46 (2014) C, pp. 151-160

New energy efficient lighting technologies can significantly reduce household electricity consumption, but adoption has been slow. A unique dataset of German households is used in this paper to examine the factors associated with the replacement of old incandescent lamps (ILs) with new energy...

Reaping the carbon rent: Abatement and overallocation profits in the European cement industry, insights from an LMDI decomposition analysis

Branger, Frédéric; Quirion, Philippe - In: Energy Economics 47 (2015) C, pp. 189-205

We analyse variations of carbon emissions in the European cement industry from 1990 to 2012, at the European level (EU 27), and at the national level for six major producers (Germany, France, Spain, the United Kingdom, Italy and Poland). We apply a Log-Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method,...

The benefit from reduced energy import bills and the importance of energy prices in GHG reduction scenarios

Dowling, Paul; Russ, Peter - In: Energy Economics 34 (2012) S3, pp. 429-429

The POLES energy model has been used to assess Asia's role in combating climate change and the benefits it stands to gain. This paper focuses on the role of major Asian economies in the global effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the benefits to their economies from reduced energy...
