Marginal abatement cost curves in general equilibrium: The influence of world energy prices

Klepper, Gernot; Peterson, Sonja - 2004

Marginal abatement cost curves (MACCs) are one of the favorite instruments to analyze the impacts of the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol and emissions trading. As shown in this paper one important factor that influences MACCs are energy prices. This leads to the question of how to define...

Carbon Storage and Bioenergy: Using Forests for Climate Mitigation

Favero, Alice; Mendelsohn, Robert; Sohngen, Brent - 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...
