Climate–water interactions—Challenges for improved representation in integrated assessment models
Bell, Andrew; Zhu, Tingju; Xie, Hua; Ringler, Claudia - In: Energy Economics 46 (2014) C, pp. 510-521
Water plays a major role in the climate system and in mediating impacts of climate variability and change on all sectors of the economy. The incorporation of water resources modeling into integrated assessment models (IAMs) to study climate–hydrology processes, related water impacts and...

Empirical studies on agricultural impacts and adaptation
Auffhammer, Maximilian; Schlenker, Wolfram - In: Energy Economics 46 (2014) C, pp. 555-561
Agricultural production is heavily dependent on weather outcomes, and hence climate change has the potential to significantly alter the sector's productivity. Both reduced form studies as well as integrated assessment models have found that the agricultural sector might experience significant...

Using real option analysis to quantify ethanol policy impact on the firm's entry into and optimal operation of corn ethanol facilities
Maxwell, Christian; Davison, Matt - In: Energy Economics 42 (2014) C, pp. 140-151
Ethanol crush spreads are used to model the value of a facility which produces ethanol from corn. A real option analysis is used to investigate the effects of model parameters on the related managerial decisions of (i) how to operate the facility through optimal switching from idled to...

An ethanol blend wall shift is prone to increase petroleum gasoline demand
Qiu, Cheng; Colson, Gregory; Wetzstein, Michael - In: Energy Economics 44 (2014) C, pp. 160-165
In 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced a waiver allowing an increase in the fuel–ethanol blend limit (the “blend wall”) from 10% (E10) to 15% (E15). Justifications for the waiver are reduced vehicle-fuel prices and less consumption of petroleum gasoline, leading to...

The economic effects of the EU biofuel target
Kretschmer, Bettina; Narita, Daiju; Peterson, Sonja - In: Energy Economics 31 (2009) Supplement 2, pp. S285-S294
In this paper we use the CGE model DART to assess the economic impacts and optimality of different aspects of the EU climate package. A special focus is placed on the 10% biofuel target in the EU. In particular we analyze the development in the biofuel sectors, the effects on agricultural...
