International Environmental Agreements in the Presence of Adaptation
Marrouch, Walid - 2011
, we show that larger coalitions, in the presence of adaptation, may lead to lower global emission levels and higher …

The Incentives to Participate in, and the Stability of, International Climate Coalitions : A Game-Theoretic Analysis Using the Witch Model
Bosetti, Valentina - 2012
This paper uses WITCH, an integrated assessment model with a game-theoretic structure, to explore the prospects for, and the stability of broad coalitions to achieve ambitious climate change mitigation action. Only coalitions including all large emitting regions are found to be technically able...

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...

Technology Spillovers and Stability of International Climate Coalitions
Nagashima, Miyuki; Dellink, Rob - 2015
Cooperation in international environmental agreements appears difficult to attain because of strong free riding incentives. This paper explores how different technology spillover mechanisms among regions can influence the incentive structures to join and stabilize an international agreement. We...

Weather and Income : Lessons from the Main European Regions
García-León, David - 2015
Some recent papers by Dell et al. (2009) and Dell et al. (2012) (DJO) relating weather and economic outcomes, have delivered meaningful messages with clear implications to the effects of a changing climate. In a nutshell, the authors claim that a 1°C increase in global average temperatures...

Information Design in Coalition Formation Games
Vosooghi, Sareh - 2017
I examine a setting, where an information sender conducts research into a payoff-relevant state variable, and releases information to agents, who consider joining a coalition. The agents' actions can cause harm by contributing to a public bad. The sender, who has commitment power, by designing...

Coalition Formation and the Ancillary Benefits of Climate Policy
Finus, Michael - 2013
Several studies found ancillary benefits of environmental policy to be of considerable size. These additional private benefits imply not only higher cooperative but also noncooperative abatement targets. However, beyond these largely undisputed important quantitative effects, there are...

An Adaptation-Mitigation Game : Does Adaptation Promote Participation in International Environmental Agreements?
Submitter, FEEM RPS; Borrero, Miguel; Rubio, Santiago J. - 2021
This paper studies how the investment in adaptation can influence the participation in an international environmental … agreement (IEA) when countries decide in adaptation before they choose their levels of emissions. Two types of agreements are … studied, a complete agreement for which countries coordinate their decisions on adaptation and emissions, and an adaptation …

A Tale of Two Countries : Emissions Scenarios for China and India
Massetti, Emanuele - 2011
The aim of the paper is to present evidence that China and India are, and will remain, two very different actors in international negotiations to control global warming. We base our conclusions on historical data and on scenarios until 2050. The Business-as-Usual scenario (BaU) is compared to...
