Freight Futures : The Potential Impact of Road Freight on Climate Policy

Carrara, Samuel - 2017

This paper describes changes to the modelling of the transport sector in the WITCH (World Induced Technical Change Hybrid) model to incorporate road freight and account for the intensity of freight with respect to GDP. Modelling freight demand based on the intensity of freight with respect to...

Non-Co2 Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Modeling with Marginal Abatement Cost Curves : Technical Change, Emission Scenarios and Policy Costs

Carrara, Samuel - 2014

The abatement of non-CO2 greenhouse gases (OGHG) has proved to be of paramount importance for reaching global mitigation targets. The modeling of their abatement is normally carried out referring to marginal abatement cost (MAC) curves, which by now represent a standard approach for such an...

The Impact of Climate Change on Domestic and International Tourism : A Simulation Study

Bigano, Andrea - 2012

We use an updated and extended version of the Hamburg Tourism Model to simulate the effect of development and climate change on tourism. Model extensions are the explicit modelling of domestic tourism and the inclusion of tourist expenditures. We also use the model to examine the impact of sea...

Economy-Wide Estimates of the Implications of Climate Change : A Joint Analysis for Sea Level Rise and Tourism

Bigano, Andrea; Bosello, Francesco; Roson, Roberto; … - 2014

Climate change impacts on human life have well defined and different origins, nevertheless in the determination of their final effects, especially those involving social-economic responses, interactions among impacts are likely to play an important role. This paper is one of the first attempts...

Energy Demand and Temperature : A Dynamic Panel Analysis

Bigano, Andrea; Bosello, Francesco; Marano, Giuseppe - 2014

This paper is a first attempt to investigate the effect of climate on the demand for different energy vectors from different final users. The ultimate motivation for this is to arrive to a consistent evaluation of the impact of climate change on key consumption goods and primary factors such as...

The Effect of Climate Change and Extreme Weather Events on Tourism

Bigano, Andrea; Goria, Alessandra; Hamilton, Jacqueline M. - 2009

Tourism is an industry of primary importance for the world economy. For some countries, tourism is the first source of income and foreign currency, and many local economies heavily depend on tourism. Tourists are sensitive to climate and to climate change, which will affect the relative...

A General Equilibrium Analysis of Climate Change Impacts on Tourism

Bigano, Andrea; Berrittella, Maria; Roson, Roberto; … - 2004

This paper studies the economic implications of climate-change-induced variations in tourism demand, using a world CGE model. The model is first re-calibrated at some future years, obtaining hypothetical benchmark equilibria, which are subsequently perturbed by shocks, simulating the effects of...

The amenity value of the Italian climate

Maddison, David; Bigano, Andrea - 1997

The hedonic literature suggests that locations with more favourable characteristics should display compensating wage and residential land price differentials. Using the hedonic price technique estimates of the willingness to pay for small changes in some key characteristics of the Italian...
