Modeling linkages between climate policy and land use: an overview

van der Werf, Edwin; Peterson, Sonja - 2007

Agriculture and forestry play an important role in emitting and storing greenhouse gases. For an efficient and cost-effective climate policy it is therefore important to explicitly include land use, land use change, and forestry (LULUCF) in economyclimate models. This paper gives an overview and...

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...

Climate Engineering under Deep Uncertainty and Heterogeneity

Emmerling, Johannes; Manoussi, Vassiliki; Xepapadeas, … - 2016

Climate Engineering, and in particular Solar Radiation Management (SRM) has become a widely discussed climate policy option to study in recent years. However, its potentially strategic nature and unforeseen side effects provide major policy and scientific challenges. We study the role of the SRM...

Spatial Heat Transport, Polar Amplification and Climate Change Policy

Brock, William A.; Xepapadeas, Anastasios - 2016

This paper is, to our knowledge, the first paper in climate economics to consider the combination of spatial heat transport and polar amplification. We simplified the problem by stratifying the Earth into latitude belts and assuming, as in North et al. (1981), that the two hemispheres were...

Cooperation and Competition in Climate Change Policies: Mitigation and Climate Engineering when Countries are Asymmetric

Manoussi, Vassiliki; Xepapadeas, Anastasios - 2014

We study a dynamic game of climate policy design in terms of emissions and solar radiation management (SRM) involving two heterogeneous regions or countries. Countries emit greenhouse gasses (GHGs), and can block incoming radiation by unilateral SRM activities, thus reducing global temperature....

Governance and Environmental Policy Integration in Europe: What Can We learn from the EU Emission Trading Scheme?

Catenacci, Michela; Buchner, Barbara; Sgobbi, Alessandra - 2007

The European Union Emission Trading System (EU ETS) is a landmark environmental policy, representing the world's first … participation and flexible abatement strategies make the EU ETS a powerful instrument of cross sectoral integration of environmental … governance. The EU ETS shows characteristics of the decision making processes and institutions engaged, the tools and instruments …

Mitigation and Solar Radiation Management in Climate Change Policies

Manousi, Vasiliki; Xepapadeas, Anastasios - 2013

We couple a spatially homogeneous energy balance climate model with an economic growth model which incorporates two potential policies against climate change: mitigation, which is the traditional policy, and geoengineering. We analyze the optimal policy mix of geoengineering and mitigation in...
