Adapting to Climate Change : An Analysis Under Uncertainty

García-León, David - 2016

problems. In an attempt to advance in the modelling of adaptation within IAM models, we apply this methodology to shed some … light on how the optimal balance between mitigation and adaptation changes under different stochastic scenarios. We find … that stochastic technology growth hardly affects the optimal bundle of mitigation and adaptation whereas uncertainty about …

The Promise and Problems of Pricing Carbon : Theory and Experience

Aldy, Joseph E.; Stavins, Robert N. - 2012

Because of the global commons nature of climate change, international cooperation among nations will likely be necessary for meaningful action at the global level. At the same time, it will inevitably be up to the actions of sovereign nations to put in place policies that bring about meaningful...

'The Voracity Effect' and Climate Change : The Impact of Clean Technologies

Benchekroun, Hassan; Ray Chaudhuri, Amrita - 2013

We show that a technological breakthrough that reduces CO2 emissions per output can exacerbate the climate change problem: countries may respond by raising their emissions resulting in an increase of the stock of pollution that may reduce welfare. Using parameter values based on empirical...

Fossil Fuel Extraction and Climate Policy : A Review of the Green Paradox with Endogenous Resource Exploration

Österle, Ines - 2012

Policies aimed at reducing emissions from fossil fuels may increase climate damages. This 'Green Paradox' emerges if resource owners increase near-term extraction in fear of stricter future policy measures. Hans-Werner Sinn (2008) showed that the paradox occurs when increasing resource taxes are...

Emissions Pricing to Stabilize Global Climate

Bosetti, Valentina; Paltsev, Sergey V.; Reilly, John M.; … - 2014

In the absence of significant greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation, many analysts project that atmospheric concentrations of species identified for control in the Kyoto protocol could exceed 1000 ppm (carbon-dioxide-equivalent) by 2100 from the current levels of about 435 ppm. This could lead to...

China in the Transition to a Low-Carbon Economy

Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2014

China, from its own perspective cannot afford to, and from an international perspective, is not allowed to continue on the conventional path of encouraging economic growth at the expense of the environment. The country needs to transform its economy to effectively address concern about a range...

Climate Change Meets Trade in Promoting Green Growth : Potential Conflicts and Synergies

Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2014

To date, border adjustment measures in the form of emissions allowance requirements (EAR) under the U.S. proposed cap-and-trade regime are the most concrete unilateral trade measure put forward to level the carbon playing field. If improperly implemented, such measures could disturb the world...

A Meaningful U.S. Cap-and-Trade System to Address Climate Change

Stavins, Robert N. - 2013

There is growing impetus for a domestic U.S. climate policy that can provide meaningful reductions in emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. In this article, I propose and analyze a scientifically sound, economically rational, and politically feasible approach for the United States to...
