Competitiveness and Leakage Concerns and Border Carbon Adjustments

Zhang, ZhongXiang - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012

This paper provides a review of the literature on competitiveness and leakage concerns associated with differentiated climate abatement commitments among countries. The literature reviewed is not exhausted, but it is sufficient to provide a balanced view of both academics and policy circles....

Economic Growth and the Environment with Clean and Dirty Consumption

Orecchia, Carlo; Tessitore, Maria Elisabetta - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011

is that the EKC is examined in the presence of pollution as a by product of consumption activities; also, pollution is a … environment, consumers do not consider directly pollution in the maximization problem and are assumed to choose between two … that substitution of dirty consumption with clean consumption alone is not sufficient to reduce environmental pollution …

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...

Directed Technical Change With Capital-Embodied Technologies: Implications For Climate Policy

Lennox, James A.; Witajewski, Jan - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014

We develop a theoretical model of directed technical change in which clean (zero emissions) and dirty (emissions-intensive) technologies are embodied in long-lived capital. We show how obsolescence costs generated by technological embodiment create inertia in a transition to clean growth....

An Exploration of the Link Between Development, Economic Growth, and Natural Risk

Hallegatte, Stéphane - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013

This paper investigates the link between development, economic growth, and the economic losses from natural disasters in a normative analytical framework, with an illustration on hurricane flood risks in New Orleans. It concludes that, where capital accumulates through increased density of...

Technology Spillovers Embodied in International Trade: Intertemporal, regional and sectoral effects in a global CGE

Cian, Enrica De; Parrado, Ramiro - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012

This paper uses a dynamic CGE model to assess the intertemporal and spatial dimension of technology spillovers embodied in international trade within a climate and trade policy framework. Three are the main contributions of the study. First, to include endogenous factor-biased technical change...

Climate Change Feedback on Economic Growth: Explorations with a Dynamic General Equilibrium Model

Eboli, Fabio; Parrado, Ramiro; Roson, Roberto - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2009

Human-generated greenhouse gases depend on the level of economic activity. Therefore, most climate change studies are based on models and scenarios of economic growth. Economic growth itself, however, is likely to be affected by climate change impacts. These impacts affect the economy in...

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 … industrial policies and measures targeted for energy saving, pollution cutting, energy greening. To actually achieve the desired …

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...

A Good Opening: The Key to Make the Most of Unilateral Climate Action

Bosetti, Valentina; Cian, Enrica De - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011

In this paper we argue that when a subgroup of countries cooperate on emission reduction, the optimal response of non-signatory countries reflects the interaction between three potentially opposing factors, the incentive to free-ride on the benefits of cooperation, the incentive to expand the...
