On the Water-Energy-Food Nexus : Is there Multivariate Convergence?
Bollino, Carlo Andrea; Galeotti, Marzio - 2021
This paper provides new evidence on the convergence process of energy, water and food per capita consumption levels for 108 countries from 1971 to 2018, using a common data set, with VAR and panel data approach. We establish a new notion of multivariate sigma and beta-convergence. The results...

Can Numerical Models Estimate Indirect Land-Use Change?
Brunelle, Thierry; Dumas, Patrice - 2012
Motivated by the conclusions from various modelling studies, modifications to the bioenergy sector regulations are under way in Europe and in the USA to account for emissions from indirect land-use change (ILUC). Despite their influence on the policy-making, evaluations of the capacity of...

The Effect of Risk, Ambiguity and Coordination on Farmers’ Adaptation to Climate Change : A Framed Field Experiment
Alpizar, Francisco; Carlsson, Fredrik; Naranjo, Maria - 2015
The risk of losses of income and productive means due to adverse weather associated to climate change can significantly differ between farmers sharing a productive landscape. It is important to learn more about how farmers react to different levels of risk, under measurable and unmeasurable...

Adoption Gaps of Environmental Adaptation Technologies with Public Effects
Antoci, Angelo - 2019
The global nature of the climatic challenge requires a high level of cooperation among agents, especially since most of the related coping strategies produce some kind of externalities toward others. Whether they are positive or negative, the presence of externalities may lead the system towards...
