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...

What Drives the International Transfer of Climate Change Mitigation Technologies? Empirical Evidence from Patent Data

Dechezleprêtre, Antoine; Glachant, Matthieu; … - 2012

Using patent data from 66 countries for the period 1990–2003, we characterize the factors which promote or hinder the international diffusion of climate-friendly technologies on a global scale. Regression results show that technology-specific capabilities of the recipient countries are...

Invention and Transfer of Climate Change Mitigation Technologies on a Global Scale : A Study Drawing on Patent Data

Dechezleprêtre, Antoine; Glachant, Matthieu; Hascic, Ivan - 2012

This paper uses the EPO/OECD World Patent Statistical Database (PATSTAT) to provide a quantitative description of the geographic distribution of inventions in thirteen climate mitigation technologies since 1978 and their international diffusion on a global scale. Statistics suggest that...

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...

Carbon taxes, path dependency and directed technical change: Evidence from the auto industry

Aghion, Philippe; Dechezleprêtre, Antoine; Hemous, David; … - 2012

Can directed technical change be used to combat climate change? We construct new firm-level panel data on auto industry innovation distinguishing between dirty (internal combustion engine) and clean (e.g. electric and hybrid) patents across 80 countries over several decades. We show that firms...

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...

Environmental Policy and Directed Technological Change : Evidence from the European Carbon Market

Calel, Raphael; Dechezleprêtre, Antoine - 2014

The European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) has aimed to encourage the development of low-carbon technologies … their patenting history and their regulatory status under EU ETS, we investigate the hypothesis that the EU ETS has … activities at the EPO since 2005, especially among EU ETS regulated companies during the Scheme's second phase. Naive estimates …
