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...
