North / South Contractual Design through the REDD+ Scheme
Chiroleu-Assouline, Mireille; Poudou, Jean-Christophe; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012
In this paper we aim at theoretically grounding the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation … incomplete information about reference levels of deforestation as well as exogenous implementation and transaction costs, we … compare two types of contracts: a deforestation performance-based contract and a conditional avoided deforestation …

The Passive Use Value of the Mediterranean Forest
Otrachshenkoy, Vladimir - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014
In this study we estimate the passive use value of forest in different ecological zones in the Mediterranean region. We estimate these values for forests using meta-analysis. These estimates are used to reveal the annual monetary values per hectare for each country. The total annual amount of...

Management Challenges for Multiple-Species Boreal Forests
Crépin, Anne Sophie - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2003
Recent research in natural sciences shows that boreal forests' dynamics are much more complex than what many models traditionally used in forestry economics reflect. This essay analyses some challenges of accounting for such complexity. When forest owners continuously harvest several species,...

Improving Land-use Modelling within CGE to Assess Forest-based Mitigation Potential and Costs
Michetti, Melania; Parrado, Ramiro - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012
We present a computable general equilibrium model properly modified to analyse the potential role of the European forestry sector within climate mitigation. Improvements on database and modelling frameworks allow accounting for land heterogeneity across and within regions and for land transfers...

Optimal Conservation Policy Under Imperfect Intergenerational Altruism
Corato, Luca Di - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
In this paper we study the optimal forest conservation policy by a hyperbolically discounting society. Society comprises a series of non-overlapping imperfectly altruistic generations each represented by its own government. Under uncertainty about future pay-offs we determine, as solution of an...

Modelling Land Use, Land-Use Change, and Forestry in Climate Change: A Review of Major Approaches
Michetti, Melania - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012
The rapid development of climate policies and the need to understand the dynamics of climate change have highlighted and shaped the role of land use, land-use change and forestry dynamics (LULUCF), making it an issue of global importance. As a consequence, LULUCF has become a central topic in...

Trade of Woody Biomass for Electricity Generation under Climate Mitigation Policy
Favero, Alice; Massetti, Emanuele - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
Bio-energy has the potential to be a key mitigation option if combined with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS) because it generates electricity and absorbs emissions at the same time. However, biomass is not distributed evenly across the globe, and regions with a potentially high demand...

Evaluating the Global Role of Woody Biomass as a Mitigation Strategy
Favero, Alice; Mendelsohn, Robert - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
As policy makers consider stringent targets for greenhouse gas emissions, integrated assessment models are increasingly relying on biomass energy as a critical energy source. However, it is not clear how much woody biomass to expect across time and across the planet. The integrated assessment...

The Economic and Environmental Effects of an EU Ban on Illegal Logging Imports. Insights from a CGE Assessment
Bosello, Francesco; Parrado, Ramiro; Rosa, Renato - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010
Illegal logging is widely recognized as a major economic problem and one of the causes of environmental degradation. Increasing awareness of its negative effects has fostered a wide range of proposals to combat it by major international conservation groups and political organizations. Following...

Institutions and Forest Management: A Case Study from Swat, Pakistan
Pellegrini, Lorenzo; Kruseman, Gideon - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2008
Deforestation in the North western part of Pakistan is a long standing problem. The Forestry Department, as formal … process has not resulted in less deforestation. From the policy perspective this has been leading to stated intentions to … statutory law.
