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...

Lessons from the Polder: Is Dutch CO2-Taxation Optimal?

Vollebergh, Herman - 2004

This paper evaluates energy tax reform in the Netherlands between 1988 and 2002 from a climate change perspective. A tax on fuels and the so-called regulatory energy tax since 1996 are examples of indirect and non-uniform taxation of emissions. The overall tax base and rate structure...

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...

Sustainable greenhouse policies: The role of non-CO 2 gases

Michaelis, Peter - 1997

This paper investigates the economic implications of a comprehensive approach to sustainable greenhouse policies that strives to stabilise the atmospheric concentration of the five major greenhouse gases at an ecologically determined threshold level. In a theoretical optimisation model...

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...

Equitable cost-benefit analysis of climate change

Tol, Richard S. J. - 1999

The literature of welfare-maximising greenhouse gas emission reduction strategies pays remarkably little attention to equity. This paper introduces three ways to consider efficiency and equity simultaneously. The first method, inspired by Kant and Rawls, maximises net present welfare, without...
