The economy-wide implications of sea level rise in 2050 are estimated using a static computable general equilibrium model. Overall, general equilibrium effects increase the costs of sea level rise, but not necessarily in every sector or region. In the absence of coastal protection, economies...

The carbon emissions abatement, undertaken by some countries, may induce other countries to increase their own emissions. This effect, known as "carbon leakage", may be due to rather different mechanisms. The simplest case is when outside countries do not change their environmental policies and...

We study the economic impacts of climate-change-induced change in human health, viz. cardiovascular and respiratory disorders, diarrhoea, malaria, dengue fever and schistosomiasis. Changes in morbidity and mortality are interpreted as changes in labour productivity and demand for health care,...
