International Environmental Agreements in the Presence of Adaptation
Marrouch, Walid - 2011
We show that adaptive measures undertaken by countries in the face of climate change, apart from directly reducing the damage caused by climate change, may also indirectly mitigate greenhouse gas emissions by increasing the stable size of international agreements on emission reductions....

The Role of International Carbon Offsets in a Second-Best Climate Policy : A Numerical Evaluation
De Cian, Enrica - 2014
International carbon offsets have been promoted since the Kyoto Protocol and an increasing number of countries have implemented or proposed cap-and-trade schemes with international trading, even though with quantitative or qualitative restrictions. Those limits reflect the trade-off between...

International Environmental Agreements with Asymmetric Countries : Climate Clubs vs. Global Cooperation
Hagen, Achim - 2015
We investigate whether global cooperation for emission abatement can be improved if asymmetric countries can sign different parallel environmental agreements. The analysis assumes a two-stage game theoretical model. Conditions for self-enforcing sets of agreements and the resulting total...

Climate Coalitions : A Theoretical and Computational Appraisal
Bréchet, Thierry - 2013
Using an updated version of the CWS model (introduced by Eyckmans and Tulkens in Resource and Energy Economics 2003), this paper intends to evaluate with numbers the respective merits of two competing notions of coalition stability in the standard global public goods model as customarily applied...

Multilateral Trade Measures in a Post-2012 Climate Change Regime : What Can Be Taken from the Montreal Protocol and the WTO?
Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2009
The climate-trade nexus gains increasing attention as governments are taking great efforts to forge a post-2012 climate change regime to succeed the Kyoto Protocol. This raises the issues of the scope of trade-related measures and of when and how they could be used. This paper discusses how far...

The Stability and Effectiveness of Climate Coalitions : A Comparative Analysis of Multiple Integrated Assessment Models
Lessmann, Kai; Kornek, Ulrike; Bosetti, Valentina; … - 2017
In this paper we report results from a comparison of numerically calibrated game theoretic integrated assessment models that explore stability and performance of international coalitions for climate change mitigation. Specifically, by means of this ensemble of models we are able to identify...
