Estimating Global Damages from Sea Level Rise with the Coastal Impact and Adaptation Model (CIAM)
Diaz, Delavane - 2015
The costs of coastal sector impacts from sea level rise (SLR) are an important component of the total projected economic damages of climate change, a major input to decision-making and design of climate policy. Moreover, the ultimate costs to coastal resources will depend strongly on adaptation,...

Climate Change, Sea Level Rise, and Coastal Disasters. A Review of Modeling Practices
Bosello, Francesco; De Cian, Enrica - 2014
The climate change impacts on sea level rise and coastal disasters, and the possible adaptation responses have been studied using very different approaches, such as very detailed site-specific engineering studies and global macroeconomic assessments of coastal zones vulnerability. This paper...

The Problem of the Commons : Still Unsettled After 100 Years
Stavins, Robert N. - 2010
The problem of the commons is more important to our lives and thus more central to economics than a century ago when Katharine Coman led off the first issue of the American Economic Review. As the U.S. and other economies have grown, the carrying-capacity of the planet - in regard to natural...

The Economic Impacts of Climate Change : Evidence from Agricultural Profits and Random Fluctuations in Weather
Greenstone, Michael; Deschenes, Olivier - 2012
This paper measures the economic impact of climate change on US agricultural land by estimating the effect of the presumably random year-to-year variation in temperature and precipitation on agricultural profits. Using long-run climate change predictions from the Hadley 2 Model, the preferred...

Sea Level Rise, Radical Uncertainties and Decision-Maker's Liability : The European Coastal Airports Case
Sorokin, Leonid - 2016
Until now, most of the growing climate legal litigations mainly concern environmental associations or victims against energy of energy-users firms or States. However, in a near future, because of exacerbating sudden floods linked to climate change, future litigations could (will) concern...

System Dynamics Modelling and Climate Change Adaptation in Coastal Areas : A Literature Review
Martínez-Hernández, Alberto Gabino - 2022
Climate change impacts in coastal areas (CA) have exposed coastal ecosystems to unprecedented conditions. System dynamic modelling (SD) has been used as a powerful tool to improve climate change adaptation (CCA) strategies. However, until now there are no review papers that summarize how...

Agent-Based Models for Climate Change Adaptation in Coastal Zones. A Review
Di Noia, Jlenia - 2022
Worldwide, with different frequencies and magnitudes, coastlines are increasingly being affected by climate change hazards. The high urbanization rate, due to economic opportunities and natural amenities, further exacerbates vulnerabilities in these areas, requiring prompt and effective...

Climate Change Feedback on Economic Growth : Explorations with a Dynamic General Equilibrium Model
Parrado, Ramiro - 2014
Human-generated greenhouse gases depend on the level of economic activity. Therefore, most climate change studies are based on models and scenarios of economic growth. Economic growth itself, however, is likely to be affected by climate change impacts. These impacts affect the economy in...
