Adaptation Can Help Mitigation : An Integrated Approach to Post-2012 Climate Policy
Bosello, Francesco; Carraro, Carlo; De Cian, Enrica - 2013
policy measures, adaptation will be needed to address climate-related damages. What is the role of adaptation in this setting … adaptation and mitigation expenditures in a cost-effective setting in which countries cooperate to achieve a long … different adaptation modes (reactive and anticipatory), mitigation, and capacity-building to analyse the optimal portfolio of …

Too Much Oil
Gerlagh, Reyer - 2010
Fear for oil exhaustion and its consequences on economic growth has been a driver of a rich literature on exhaustible resources from the 1970s onwards. But our view on oil has remarkably changed and we now worry how we should constrain climate change damages associated with oil and other fossil...

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...

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...

Simulating a Sequential Coalition Formation Process for the Climate Change Problem : First Come, But Second Served?
Eyckmans, Johan; Finus, Michael; Rundshagen, Bianca - 2010
We analyze stability of self-enforcing climate agreements based on a data set generated by the CLIMNEG world simulation model (CWSM), version 1.2. We consider two new aspects which appear important in actual treaty-making. First, we consider a sequential coalition formation process where players...

Climate Change Assessment and Agriculture in General Equilibrium Models : Alternative Modeling Strategies
Palatnik, Ruslana Rachel; Roson, Roberto - 2014
Agricultural sectors play a key role in the economics of climate change. Land as an input to agricultural production is one of the most important links between economy and the biosphere, representing a direct projection of human action on the natural environment. Agricultural management...

The Polluter Pays Principle and Cost-Benefit Analysis of Climate Change : An Application of Fund
Tol, Richard S. J. - 2006
I compare and contrast five climate scenarios: (1) no climate policy; (2) non-cooperative cost-benefit analysis (NC CBA); (3) NC CBA with international permit trade; (4) NC CBA with joint and several liability for climate change damages; and (5) NC CBA with liability proportional to a country's...

How Overconfident are Current Projections of Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide Emissions?
Keller, Klaus - 2013
Analyzing the risks of anthropogenic climate change requires sound probabilistic projections of CO2 emissions. Previous projections have broken important new ground, but many rely on out-of-range projections, are limited to the 21st century, or provide only implicit probabilistic information....
