The value of biodiversity in economic decision making : applying the IEEM+ESM approach to conservation strategies in Colombia
Banerjee, Onil; Cicowiez, Martín; Malek, Žiga; … - 2020
In this paper we evaluate the economic, natural capital and ecosystem services impacts of strategies for conserving … Ecosystem Services (PES), implementing more sustainable silvopastoral systems and expanding habitat banking. We develop and … Ecosystem Services Modeling (IEEMESM) to shed light on the multi-dimensional impacts of these programs from the perspective of …

Integrating the value of natural capital in evidence-based policy making
Banerjee, Onil; Vargas, Renato; Cicowiez, Martín - 2020
This paper describes how Natural Capital Accounting (NCA) can be integrated into economy wide analytical frameworks to enhance evidence based decision making. Examples from applications of the Integrated Environmental Economic Modelling (IEEM) Platform show how explicitly accounting for the...

On green growth with sustainable capital
Basu, Parantap; Jamasb, Tooraj - 2020
We develop an endogenous growth model to address a long standing question whether sustainable green growth is feasible by re-allocating resource use between green (natural) and man-made (carbon intensive) capital. Although the model is general we relate it to the UKís green growth policy...

Contracting for impure public goods : carbon offsets and additionality
Mason, Charles F.; Plantinga, Andrew - 2011
Governments contracting with private agents for the provision of an impure public good must contend with agents who would potentially supply the good absent any payments. This additionality problem is centrally important in the use of carbon offsets as part of climate change mitigation....

Super-grids and concentrated solar power : a scenario analysis with the WITCH model
Massetti, Emanuele; Ricci, Elena Claire - 2011
We extend the WITCH model to consider the possibility to produce and trade electricity generated by large scale concentrated solar power plants in highly productive areas that are connected to the demand centres through High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) cables. We find that it becomes optimal...

The potential of REDD+ for carbon sequestration in tropical forests : supply curves for carbon storage for Kalimantan, Indonesia
Indrajaya, Yonky; Van der Werf, Edwin; Weikard, Hans-Peter - 2015
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)...

Policy-relevant assessment method of socio-economic impacts of floods : an Italian case study
Farinosi, Fabio; Carrera, Lorenzo; Maziotis, Alexandros; … - 2012
This paper estimates the direct and indirect socio-economic impacts of the 2000 flood that took place in the Po river basin (Italy) using a combination of Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model and Spatial and Multi-Criteria Analysis. A risk map for the whole basin is generated as a function...

Technology agreements with heterogeneous countries
Hoel, Michael; Zeeuw, Aart de - 2013
For sufficiently low abatement costs many countries might undertake significant emission reductions even without any international agreement on emission reductions. We consider a situation where a coalition of countries does not cooperate on emission reductions but cooperates on the development...
