Uncertainty and the Double Dividend Hypothesis

Sartzetakis, Eftichios S. - 2009

This paper examines the double dividend hypothesis in the presence of labour income uncertainty. Empirical evidence … shows that uncertainty over labour income is particularly significant in developing, while not negligible in developed … countries. Under uncertainty, and assuming incomplete capital markets, the tax system plays a role in providing social insurance …

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...

North/South Contractual Design Through the REDD+ Scheme

Chiroleu-Assouline, Mireille - 2012

In this paper we aim at theoretically grounding the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD ) scheme as a contractual relationship between countries in the light of the theory of incentives. Considering incomplete information about reference levels of deforestation as...

REDD in the Carbon Market : A General Equilibrium Analysis

Bosello, Francesco - 2014

Deforestation is a major source of CO2 emissions, accounting for around 17% of total annual anthropogenic carbon release. While the cost estimates of reducing deforestation rates vary considerably depending on model assumptions, it is widely accepted that emissions reductions from avoided...

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 and Forest Degradation (REDD) to a global market for...

Carbon Storage and Bioenergy : Using Forests for Climate Mitigation

Favero, Alice - 2016

The carbon mitigation literature has separately considered using forests to store carbon and as a source of bioenergy. In this paper, we look at both options to reach a 2°C mitigation target. This paper combines the global forest model, GTM, with the IAM WITCH model to study the optimal use of...

Evaluating the Global Role of Woody Biomass as a Mitigation Strategy

Favero, Alice; Mendelsohn, Robert O. - 2015

As policy makers consider stringent targets for greenhouse gas emissions, integrated assessment models are increasingly relying on biomass energy as a critical energy source. However, it is not clear how much woody biomass to expect across time and across the planet. The integrated assessment...

On the Economics of Forest Carbon : Renewable and Carbon Neutral But Not Emission Free

Lintunen, Jussi; Uusivuori, Jussi - 2014

First-best optimal forest sector carbon policy is examined. Using a comprehensive forest sector model with a detailed carbon cycle section we show that the renewability and carbon neutrality arguments do not warrant emission free treatment of forest bioenergy. However, under the biomass stock...

Modelling Land Use, Land-Use Change, and Forestry in Climate Change : A Review of Major Approaches

Michetti, Melania - 2012

The rapid development of climate policies and the need to understand the dynamics of climate change have highlighted and shaped the role of land use, land-use change and forestry dynamics (LULUCF), making it an issue of global importance. As a consequence, LULUCF has become a central topic in...

Afforestation and Timber Management Compliance Strategies in Climate Policy - A Computable General Equilibrium Analysis

Michetti, Melania; Rosa, Renato - 2011

This paper analyzes the role of afforestation-reforestation and timber management activities, and their major and secondary economic effects in stabilizing climate during the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol. In particular, with a Computable General Equilibrium framework, the ICES...
