Innovation complementarity and environmental productivity effects : reality or delusion? ; evidence from the EU
Gilli, Marianna; Mancinelli, Susanna; Mazzanti, Massimiliano - 2013
Innovation is a key element behind the achievement of desired environmental and economic performances. Regarding CO2 … complementarity, namely integration, between the adoption of environmental innovation measures and other technological and … productivity. We merge new EU CIS and WIOD meso level data to assess the innovation effects on sector CO2 performances at a wide EU …

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...

A size-based ecosystem model
Ravn-Jonsen, Lars J. - 2009
Ecosystem Management requires models that can link the ecosystem level to the operation level. This link can be created by an ecosystem production model. Because the function of the individual fish in the marine ecosystem, seen in trophic context, is closely related to its size, the model groups...

An indicator for ecosystem externalities in fishing
Ravn-Jonsen, Lars; Andersen, Ken H.; Vestergaard, Niels - 2015
Ecosystem externalities arise when one use of an ecosystem affects its other uses through the production functions of the ecosystem.We use simulations from a size-spectrum ecosystem model to investigate the ecosystem externality created by fishing of multiple species. The model is based upon...
