Can numerical models estimate indirect land-use change?
Brunelle, Thierry; Dumas, Patrice - 2012
Motivated by the conclusions from various modelling studies, modifications to the bioenergy sector regulations are under way in Europe and in the USA to account for emissions from indirect land-use change (ILUC). Despite their influence on the policy-making, evaluations of the capacity of...

On the Mechanism of International Technology Diffusion for Energy Technological Progress
Jin, Wei; Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2015
International diffusion of energy-saving technologies has received considerable attention in recent energy and climate economics studies. As a helpful methodological complement to the existing large-scale CGE/IAM-based modelling for energy and climate policy studies, this paper contributes to a...

Intermediate Input Linkage and Carbon Leakage
Zhang, Zengkai; Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2016
Climate regulations tend to target energy intensive sectors whose products are widely used in industrial production as intermediate inputs, such as electricity, and the carbon abatement may be partially offset by intermediate input-led leakage. This paper aims to examine the impact of...

On the Mechanism of International Technology Diffusion for Energy Productivity Growth
Jin, Wei; Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2014
International diffusion of advanced environment and energy-related technologies has received much attention in recent environmental economics studies. As a much needed complement to the "black box" complex numerical modelling, this paper contributes to developing a simple, intuitive analytical...

From Energy-intensive to Innovation-led Growth: On the Transition Dynamics of China’s Economy
Jin, Wei; Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2014
Whether China continues its current energy-intensive growth path or adopts a sustainable development prospect has significant implication for energy and climate governance. Building on a Ramsey-Cass-Koopmans growth model incorporating the mechanism of endogenous technological change and its...

On Biology and Technology: The Economics of Managing Biotechnologies
Goeschl, Timo; Swanson, Timothy - 2003
This paper considers those sectors of the economy that operate under the same regimes of rewarding private innovators as others, but differ in that they face recurring problems of resistance, as occur in the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries. This recurrence originates in the natural...

The effect of risk, ambiguity and coordination on farmers' adaptation to climate change: a framed field experiment
Alpizar, Francisco; Carlsson, Fredrik; Naranjo, Maria - 2010
differ between farmers sharing a productive landscape. It is important to learn more about how farmers react to different … farmers in Tarrazu, Costa Rica. Given that the region recently was severely hit by an extreme, albeit very infrequent …, climatic event, we expected to observe, and found high levels of risk aversion, but we do observe farmers making trade …
