Assessing the likelihood of regional climate change over the Nile River basin and northern Africa : a hybrid assessment
Schlosser, C. Adam; Strzepek, Kenneth M. - 2015
Projections of regional changes in surface air temperature and precipitation for the greater Nile River basin and northern Africa are presented. The probabilistic projections are obtained through a technique that combines projections of the MIT Integrated Global System Model with climate-change...

Carbon pricing under binding political constraints
Jenkins, Jesse D.; Karplus, Valerie J. - Joint Institute for Strategic Energy Analysis - 2016
The economic prescription for climate change is clear: price carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas emissions to internalize climate damages. In practice, a variety of political economy constraints prevent the introduction of a carbon price equal to the full social cost of emissions. This...
