Energy and Environmental Issues and Policy in China
Zhang, ZhongXiang - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
China’s rampant environmental pollution problems and rising greenhouse gas emissions and the resulting climate change are undermining its long-term economic growth. China, from its own perspective cannot afford to and, from an international perspective, is not meant to continue on the...

Policies and Practices of Low Carbon City Development in China
Wang, Can; Lin, Jie; Cai, Wenjia; Zhang, ZhongXiang - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014
Globally as well as in China, cities have contributed to most of the economic output and have accordingly given rise to most CO2 emissions. In particular, given unprecedented urbanization, cities will play an even greater role in shaping energy demand and CO2 emissions. Therefore, cities are the...

Uncertain R&D, Backstop Technology and GHGs Stabilization
Bosetti, Valentina; Tavoni, Massimo - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2007
This paper analyses optimal investments in innovation when dealing with a stringent climate target and with the uncertain effectiveness of R&D. The innovation needed to achieve the deep cut in emissions is modelled by a backstop carbon-free technology whose cost depends on R&D investments. To...

Capital-embodied Technologies in CGE Models
Lennox, James; Parrado, Ramiro - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2015
Computable general equilibrium (CGE) models are widely used to analyse macroeconomic and sectoral effects of climate policies. Developing new and improving existing carbon-free energy technologies will be crucial to limit the long-term economic costs of mitigation policies. Such technologies are...
