Climate Change, Energy Demand and Market Power in a General Equilibrium Model of the World Economy
Roson, Roberto; Bosello, Francesco; Cian, Enrica De - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2007
Future energy demand will be affected by changes in prices and income, but also by other factors, like temperature … annual regional demand for energy goods. Combining estimates of temperature elasticities with scenarios of future climate … change, it is possible to assess variations in energy demand induced (directly) by the global warming. We use this …

The Influence of Economic Growth, Population, and Fossil Fuel Scarcity on Energy Investments
Cian, Enrica De; Sferra, Fabio; Tavoni, Massimo - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
This paper examines the dynamics of energy investments and clean energy Research and Development (R&D) using a scenario … convergence across countries matters for improvements in energy efficiency, both via dedicated R&D investments but mostly through … capital-energy substitution. In contrast, fossil fuel prices, by changing the relative competitiveness of energy sources …

Migration and Climate Change in Rural Africa
Cattaneo, Cristina; Massetti, Emanuele - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2015
We analyse whether migration is an adaptation that households employ to cope with climate in Ghana and Nigeria. If migration is part of the present adaptation portfolio of households in developing countries, it is reasonable to expect that it will also be an adaptation to future climate change....

Using Degree Days to Value Farmland
Massetti, Emanuele; Mendelsohn, Robert; Chonabayashi, Shun - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2015
Farmland values have traditionally been valued using seasonal temperature and precipitation. A new strand of the literature uses degree days over the growing season to predict farmland value. We find that degree days and daily temperature are interchangeable over the growing season. However, the...

Adaptation Can Help Mitigation: An Integrated Approach to Post-2012 Climate Policy
Bosello, Francesco; Carraro, Carlo; Cian, Enrica De - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
The latest round of international negotiations in Copenhagen led to a set of commitments on emission reductions which are unlikely to stabilise global warming below or around 2°C. As a consequence, in the absence of additional ambitious policy measures, adaptation will be needed to address...

Climate Change, Sea Level Rise, and Coastal Disasters. A Review of Modeling Practices
Bosello, Francesco; Cian, Enrica De - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
The climate change impacts on sea level rise and coastal disasters, and the possible adaptation responses have been studied using very different approaches, such as very detailed site-specific engineering studies and global macroeconomic assessments of costal zones vulnerability. This paper...
