Climate policy and the optimal balance between mitigation, adaptation and unavoided damage
Bosello, Francesco; Carraro, Carlo; De Cian, Enrica - 2010 - This draft: February 2010
It has become commonly accepted that a successful climate strategy should compound mitigation and adaptation. The … accurate combination between adaptation and mitigation that can best address climate change is still an open question. This … paper proposes a framework that integrates mitigation, adaptation, and climate change residual damages into an optimisation …

China in the transition to a low-carbon economy
Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2010 - This version: September, 2009
China, from its own perspective cannot afford to, and from an international perspective, is not allowed to continue on the conventional path of encouraging economic growth at the expense of the environment. The country needs to transform its economy to effectively address concern about a range...

Assessing the role of microfinance in fostering adaptation to climate change
Agrawala, Shardul; Carraro, Maëlis - 2010
Much of the current policy debate on adaptation to climate change has focussed on estimation of adaptation costs, ways to raise and to scale-up funding for adaptation, and the design of the international institutional architecture for adaptation financing. There is however little or no emphasis...

Interactions between state and federal climate change policies
Goulder, Lawrence H.; Stavins, Robert N. - 2010
Federal action addressing climate change is likely to emerge either through new legislation or via the U.S. EPA’s authority under the Clean Air Act. The prospect of federal action raises important questions regarding the interconnections between federal efforts and state-level climate policy...

Assessing China's energy conservation and carbon intensity : how will the future differ from the past?
Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2010 - This version: May 24, 2010
As an important step towards building a "harmonious society" through "scientific development", China has incorporated for the first time in its five-year economic plan an energy input indicator as a constraint. While it achieved a quadrupling of its GDP while cutting its energy intensity by...

A numerical analysis of optimal extraction and trade of oil under climate policy
Massetti, Emanuele; Sferra, Fabio - 2010
We introduce endogenous investments for increasing conventional and non-conventional oil extraction capacity in the integrated assessment model WITCH. The international price of oil emerges as the Nash equilibrium of a non-cooperative game. When carbon emissions are not constrained, oil is used...

The problem of the commons : still unsettled after 100 years
Stavins, Robert N. - 2010
The problem of the commons is more important to our lives and thus more central to economics than a century ago when Katharine Coman led off the first issue of the American Economic Review. As the U.S. and other economies have grown, the carrying-capacity of the planet - in regard to natural...
