Politics and economics of second-best regulation of greenhouse gases : the importance of regulatory credibility
Bosetti, Valentina; Victor, David G. - 2010
Modellers have examined a wide array of ideal-world scenarios for regulation of greenhouse gases. In this ideal world …”—which has a strikingly small impact on total world cost of carbon regulations if international trade in emission credits allows … another factor that analysts have largely ignored: credibility. In the real world governments find it difficult to craft and …

Global climate policy architecture and political feasibility: specific formulas and emission targets to attain 460 ppm CO2 concentrations
Bosetti, Valentina; Frankel, Jeffrey A. - 2009
Three gaps in the Kyoto Protocol most badly need to be filled: the absence of emission targets extending far into the future, the absence of participation by the United States, China, and other developing countries, and the absence of reason to think that members will abide by commitments. To be...

Endogenous participation in a partial climate agreement with open entry : a numerical assessment
Sferra, Fabio; Tavoni, Massimo - 2013
Our purpose is to analyse the effectiveness and efficiency of a Partial Climate Agreement with open entry under a non-cooperative Nash-Equilibrium framework. We evaluate a partial agreement policy in which non-signatory countries can decide to join or to leave a coalition of the willing at any...

Cooperation and competition in climate change policies : mitigation and climate engineering when countries are asymmetric
Manoussi, Vassiliki; Xepapadeas, Anastasios - 2014
We study a dynamic game of climate policy design in terms of emissions and solar radiation management (SRM) involving two heterogeneous regions or countries. Countries emit greenhouse gasses (GHGs), and can block incoming radiation by unilateral SRM activities, thus reducing global temperature....

Quantifying non-cooperative climate engineering
Emmerling, Johannes; Tavoni, Massimo - 2017
The mismatch between actions to combat climate change, which are based on voluntary national initiatives of limited effort, and the recognition of the importance of global warming is growing. Climate engineering via solar radiation management has been proposed as a possible complement to...

Three key elements of post-2012 international climate policy architecture
Olmstead, Sheila M.; Stavins, Robert N. - 2010
We describe three essential elements of an effective post-2012 international global climate policy architecture: a means to ensure that key industrialized and developing nations are involved in differentiated but meaningful ways; an emphasis on an extended time path of targets; and inclusion of...

Technology transfer in the non-traded sector as a means to combat global warming
Rübbelke, Dirk T. G.; Mukherjee, Vivekananda; Sanyal, Tilak - 2008
The paper considers a situation where two countries - the North and the South - use a non-traded polluting input to produce the goods for final consumption. The North is more efficient in both, production and abatement processes. The study compares the effects of the transfer of abatement...

Multilateral trade measures in a post-2012 climate change regime? : what can be taken from the Montreal Protocol and the WTO?
Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2009 - This version: June 2009
The climate-trade nexus gains increasing attention as governments are taking great efforts to forge a post-2012 climate change regime to succeed the Kyoto Protocol. This raises the issues of the scope of trade-related measures and of when and how they could be used. This paper discusses how far...
