Technology Diffusion, Abatement Cost and Transboundary Pollution
Heal, Geoffrey M.; Tarui, Nori - 2013
This paper studies countries' incentives to develop advanced pollution abatement technology when technology may spillover across countries and pollution abatement is a global public good. We are motivated in part by the problem of global warming: a solution to this involves providing a global...

Marginal Abatement Cost Curves and the Optimal Timing of Mitigation Measures
Vogt-Schilb, Adrien - 2013
Decision makers facing abatement targets need to decide which abatement measures to implement, and in which order. Measure-explicit marginal abatement cost curves depict the cost and abating potential of available mitigation options. Using a simple intertemporal optimization model, we...

Non-Co2 Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Modeling with Marginal Abatement Cost Curves : Technical Change, Emission Scenarios and Policy Costs
Carrara, Samuel - 2014
The abatement of non-CO2 greenhouse gases (OGHG) has proved to be of paramount importance for reaching global mitigation targets. The modeling of their abatement is normally carried out referring to marginal abatement cost (MAC) curves, which by now represent a standard approach for such an...

'Mitigation, Adaptation, Suffering' : In Search of the Right Mix in the Face of Climate Change
Tulkens, Henry; van Steenberghe, Vincent - 2013
The usually assumed two categories of costs involved in climate change policy analysis, namely abatement and damage costs, hide the presence of a third category, namely adaptation costs. This dodges the determination of an appropriate level for them. Including adaptation costs explicitly in the...

Abatement Cost Uncertainty and Policy Instrument Selection Under a Stringent Climate Policy - A Dynamic Analysis
Bosetti, Valentina; Golub, Alexander; Markandya, Anil; … - 2013
This paper investigates the relative economic and environmental outcomes of price versus quantity mechanisms to control GHG emissions when abatement costs are uncertain. In particular, we evaluate the impacts on policy costs, CO2 emissions and energy R&D for a stringent mitigation target of 550...

The Potential of REDD+ for Carbon Sequestration in Tropical Forests : Supply Curves for Carbon Storage for Kalimantan, Indonesia
Indrajaya, Yonky - 2016
We study the potential of tropical multi-age multi-species forests for sequestering carbon in response to financial incentives from REDD+. The use of reduced impact logging techniques (RIL) allows a forest owner to apply for carbon credits whereas the use of conventional logging techniques (CL)...

Linking Reduced Deforestation and a Global Carbon Market : Impacts on Costs, Financial Flows, and Technological Innovation
Bosetti, Valentina - 2015
Discussions over tropical deforestation are currently at the forefront of climate change policy negotiations at … national, regional, and international levels. This paper analyzes the effects of linking Reduced Emissions from Deforestation …-energy-economy model with alternative cost estimates for reducing deforestation emissions in order to examine a global program for …

A Modelling Framework for Addressing the Synergies Between Global Conventions Through Land Use Changes : Carbon Sequestration, Biodiversity Conservation, Prevention of Land Degrada...
Ponce-Hernandez, Raul - 2015
This paper proposed a methodological framework for the assessment of carbon stocks and the development and identification of land use, land use change and land management scenarios, whereby enhancing carbon sequestration synergistically increases biodiversity, the prevention of land degradation...

Air Pollution Costs in Ukraine
Strukova, Elena; Golub, Alexander; Markandya, Anil - 2013
The paper presents estimation of the health losses from urban air pollution in Ukraine. The methodology developed by US EPA and adjusted in Russia for Eastern European transition countries was applied for health risk assessment. PM2.5 was identified as the major source of human health risk,...
