Carbon Dioxide Emission Scenarios for the Usa

Tol, Richard S.J. - 2006

A model of carbon dioxide emissions of the USA is presented. The model consists of population, income per capita, economic structure, final and primary energy intensity per sector, primary fuel mix, and emission coefficients. The model is simple enough to be calibrated to observations since...

Energy and climate change in China

Carraro, Carlo; Massetti, Emanuele - 2011

The paper examines future energy and emissions scenarios in China, presenting historical data and scenarios generated using the Integrated Assessment Model WITCH. A Business-as-Usual scenario is compared with four scenarios in which Greenhouse Gases emissions are taxed, at different levels. Key...

A General Equilibrium Analysis of Climate Change Impacts on Tourism

Bigano, Andrea; Berrittella, Maria; Roson, Roberto; … - 2004

This paper studies the economic implications of climate-change-induced variations in tourism demand, using a world CGE model. The model is first re-calibrated at some future years, obtaining hypothetical benchmark equilibria, which are subsequently perturbed by shocks, simulating the effects of...

The amenity value of the Italian climate

Maddison, David; Bigano, Andrea - 1997

The hedonic literature suggests that locations with more favourable characteristics should display compensating wage and residential land price differentials. Using the hedonic price technique estimates of the willingness to pay for small changes in some key characteristics of the Italian...

The optimal timing of greenhouse gas emission abatement, individual rationality and intergenerational equity

Tol, Richard S. J. - 1998

This paper explores the relationship between rationality and equity in an intergenerational context of greenhouse gas emission reduction. It is shown that the least-cost trajectory to a constraint on cumulative emissions implies an upward-sloping emission reduction effort, in most cases, whether...

International games on climate change control

Carraro, Carlo; Moriconi, Francesca - 1998

In this paper an n-player non-co-operative game is used to model countries' decision of whether or not to sign an international agreement on climate change control. The stable coalition structure of the game is defined and then computed for a climate game in which the role of carbon leakage is...
