Climate change and adaptation: The case of Nigerian agriculture

Bosello, Francesco; Campagnolo, Lorenza; Eboli, Fabio - 2013

agriculture is conducted. Adaptation practices considered are a mix of cheaper soft measures and more costly hard irrigation … characterizing Nigerian agriculture, covering more than 80% of agricultural value added. The evaluation is performed shocking land … larger than one in all the climate regimes. Expensive irrigation expansion should however be applied on a much more limited …

Global Energy Demand in a Warming Climate

De Cian, Enrica; Wing, Ian Sue - 2016

This paper combines an econometric analysis of the response of energy demand to temperature and humidity exposure with future scenarios of climate change and socioeconomic development to characterize climate impacts on energy demand at different spatial scales. Globally, future climate change is...

Discounting environmental effects in project appraisal

Percoco, Marco - 2002

The aim of this paper is to present an alternative methodology for discounting far distant future externalities genereted by an investment project: time-declining discount rates. First I present the experimental evidence on individuals' time-inconsistency. Second I consider the theoretical...

Estimating global damages from sea level rise with the Coastal Impact and Adaptation Model (CIAM)

Diaz, Delavane B. - 2015

The costs of coastal sector impacts from sea level rise (SLR) are an important component of the total projected economic damages of climate change, a major input to decision-making and design of climate policy. Moreover, the ultimate costs to coastal resources will depend strongly on adaptation,...

Environmental effects of consumption: An approach using DEA and cost sharing

Keiding, Hans - 2002

In the paper we propose an to evaluation of the environmental effects of consumption activities. The approach consists of two steps, namely (1) assignment of environmental effects to consumption activities, for which we propose to use the methods of (multidimensional) cost sharing, and (2) a...

Adaptation, mitigation and 'green' R&D to combat global climate change: Insights from an empirical integrated assessment exercise

Bosello, Francesco - 2010

This work develops a framework for the analysis at the macro-level of the relationship between adaptation and mitigation policies. The FEEM-RICE growth model with stock pollution, endogenous R&D investment and emission abatement is enriched with a planned-adaptation module where a defensive...

How harmful are adaptation restrictions

de Bruin, Kelly C.; Dellink, Rob B. - 2009

The dominant assumption in economic models of climate policy remains that adaptation will be implemented in an optimal manner. There are, however, several reasons why optimal levels of adaptation may not be attainable. This paper investigates the effects of suboptimal levels of adaptation, i.e....

The Impact of Climate on Holiday Destination Choice

Tol, Richard S.J.; Bigano, Andrea; Hamilton, Jacqueline M. - 2005

The holiday destination choice is analysed for tourists from 45 countries, representing all continents and all climates. Tourists are deterred by distance, political instability and poverty, and attracted to coasts. Tourists prefer countries with a sunny yet mild climate, shun climes that are...

AD-DICE: An Implementation of Adaptation in the DICE Mode

de Bruin, Kelly C.; Dellink, Rob B.; Tol, Richard S.J. - 2007

Integrated Assessment Models (IAMS) have helped us over the past decade to understand the interactions between the environment and the economy in the context of climate change. Although it has also long been recognized that adaptation is a powerful and necessary tool to combat the adverse...
