Estimation of Climate Change Damage Functions for 140 Regions in the Gtap9 Database
Roson, Roberto - 2017
Climate change damage (or, more correctly, impact) functions relate variations in temperature (or other climate variables) to economic impacts in various dimensions, and are at the basis of quantitative modeling exercises for the assessment of climate change policies. This document provides a...
