Carbon Storage and Bioenergy : Using Forests for Climate Mitigation

Favero, Alice - 2016

The carbon mitigation literature has separately considered using forests to store carbon and as a source of bioenergy. In this paper, we look at both options to reach a 2°C mitigation target. This paper combines the global forest model, GTM, with the IAM WITCH model to study the optimal use of...

Investments and Financial Flows Induced by Climate Mitigation Policies

Bastianin, Andrea; Favero, Alice; Massetti, Emanuele - 2013

In this paper we use the hybrid integrated model WITCH to quantify and analyze the investments and financial flows stimulated by a climate policy to stabilize Greenhouse Gases concentrations at 550ppm CO2-eq at the end of the century. We focus on investments to decarbonize the power sector and...

Can the Global Forest Sector Survive 11°C Warming?

Favero, Alice - 2017

It is well known that the forestry sector is sensitive to climate change but most studies have examined impacts only through 2100 and warming of less than 4°C. This is the first timber analysis to consider possible climate change impacts out to 2250 and warming up to 11°C above 1900 levels....

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...

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...

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 …
