Back to Kyoto? US participation and the linkage between R&D and climate cooperation

Buchner, Barbara; Carraro, Carlo; Cersosimo, Igor; … - 2002

The US decision not to ratify the Kyoto Protocol and the recent outcomes of the Bonn and Marrakech Conferences of the Parties drastically reduce the effectiveness of the Kyoto Protocol in controlling GHG emissions. The reason is not only the reduced emission abatement in the US, but also the...

Can equity enhance efficiency? Lessons from the Kyoto Protocol

Carraro, Carlo; Bosello, Francesco; Buchner, Barbara; … - 2001

This paper analyses the relationship between different equity rules and the incentives to sign and ratify a climate agreement. A widespread conjecture suggests that a more equitable ex-ante distribution of the burden of reducing emissions would provide the right incentives for more countries -...

Endogenous induced technical change and the costs of Kyoto

Buonanno, Paolo; Carraro, Carlo; Galeotti, Marzio - 2001

Many predictions and conclusions in the climate change literature have been made and drawn on the basis of theoretical analyses and quantitative models that are either static or that allow for simple forms of changes in technology, often along exogenously given time paths. It is therefore not...

Banking permits: Economic efficiency and distributional effects

Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Massetti, Emanuele - 2008

Most analyses of the Kyoto flexibility mechanisms focus on the cost effectiveness of 'where' flexibility (e.g. by showing that mitigation costs are lower in a global permit market than in regional markets or in permit markets confined to Annex 1 countries). Less attention has been devoted to...

Does Endogenous Technical Change Make a Difference in Climate Policy Analysis? A Robustness Exercise with the FEEM-RICE Model

Galeotti, Marzio; Carraro, Carlo - 2004

Technical change is generally considered the key to the solution of environmental problems, in particular global phenomena like climate change. Scientists differ in their views on the thaumaturgic virtues of technical change. There are those who are confident that pollution-free technologies...

Optimal Transfers and Participation Decisions in International Environmental Agreements

Carraro, Carlo; Eyckmans, Johan; Finus, Michael - 2005

The literature on international environmental agreements has recognized the role transfers play in encouraging participation in international environmental agreements (IEAs), but the few results achieved so far are overly specific and do not exploit the full potential of transfers for successful...

The Dynamics of Carbon and Energy Intensity in a Model of Endogenous Technical Change

Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Galeotti, Marzio - 2005

In recent years, a large number of papers have explored different attempts to endogenise technical change in climate models. The obvious reason is that technical change is widely considered the main route to achieving a significant reduction in global GHG emissions. This recent literature has...
