This paper analyzes the economic impacts of changes in water availability due to climate change. We develop a new … modeling approach as an alternative to include water as a production factor within a global CGE model. We tailor the structure … of the ICES model to characterize the key features of the world economy with a detailed representation of the …

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,...

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....
