Stability of climate coalitions in a cartel formation game
Finus, Michael; Ierland, Ekko C. van; Dellink, Rob - 2003
We empirically test stability of climate change coalitions with the STAbility of Coalitions model (STACO). The model comprises twelve world regions and captures important dynamic aspects of the climate change problem. We apply the stability concept of internal and external stability to a cartel...

The impact of surplus sharing on the stability of international climate agreements
Weikard, Hans-Peter; Finus, Michael; Altamirano … - 2004
This paper analyses stability of coalitions for greenhouse gas abatement for different sharing rules applied to the gains from co-operation. We use a 12-regions model designed to examine internal and external stability of coalitions (STACO). We compare different sharing rules like, for example,...

Climate policies and nationally determined contributions : reconciling the needed ambition with the political economy
Vogt-Schilb, Adrien; Hallegatte, Stéphane - 2017
Countries have pledged to stabilize global warming at a 1.5 to 2°C increase. Either target requires reaching net zero emissions before the end of the century, which implies a major transformation of the economic system. This paper reviews the literature on how policymakers can design climate...

Adaptation, mitigation and "green" R&D to combat global climate change : insights from an empirical integrated assessment exercise
Bosello, Francesco - 2010
This work develops a framework for the analysis at the macro-level of the relationship between adaptation and mitigation policies. The FEEM-RICE growth model with stock pollution, endogenous R&D investment and emission abatement is enriched with a planned-adaptation module where a defensive...

The optimal climate policy portfolio when knowledge spills across sectors
Massetti, Emanuele; Nicita, Lea - 2010
This paper studies the implications for climate policy of the interactions between environmental and knowledge externalities. Using a numerical analysis performed with the hybrid integrated assessment model WITCH, extended to include mutual spillovers between the energy and the non-energy...

Delayed action and uncertain targets : how much will climate policy cost?
Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Sgobbi, Alessandra; … - 2008
Despite the growing concern about actual on-going climate change, there is little consensus about the scale and timing of actions needed to stabilise the concentrations of greenhouse gases. Many countries are unwilling to implement effective mitigation strategies, at least in the short-term, and...
