currently almost absent. Unlike most other marine organisms, mollusks, which have significant commercial value worldwide, have … performing a partial-equilibrium analysis, we estimate global and regional economic costs of production loss of mollusks due to … assumption of increasing demand of mollusks with expected income growths. The major determinants of cost levels are the impacts …

Polycentric systems and interacting planetary boundaries — Emerging governance of climate change–ocean acidification–marine biodiversity
Galaz, Victor; Crona, Beatrice; Österblom, Henrik; … - In: Ecological Economics 81 (2012) C, pp. 21-32
Planetary boundaries and their interactions pose severe challenges for global environmental governance due to their inherent uncertainties and complex multi-scale dynamics. Here we explore the global governance challenge posed by planetary boundaries interactions by focusing on the role of...

On the Uncertainty About the Total Economic Impact of Climate Change
Tol, Richard - In: Environmental & Resource Economics 53 (2012) 1, pp. 97-116
This paper uses a vote-counting procedure to estimate the probability density function of the total economic impact as a parabolic function of global warming. There is a wide range of uncertainty about the impact of climate change up to 3°C, and the information becomes progressively more...

Pre-requisites to interdisciplinary research for climate change: lessons from a participatory action research process in Île-de-France
Blanchard, Anne; Vanderlinden, Jean-Paul - In: International Journal of Sustainable Development 16 (2013) 1/2, pp. 1-22
The complexity of climate change issues translates itself into a need for interdisciplinary approaches to first achieve a more comprehensive vision of climate change, and second to better inform the decision-making processes. However, it seems that willingness alone is rarely enough to implement...

Natural Disasters and Economic Policy for the Pacific Rim
Noy, Ilan - Department of Economics, University of Hawaii-Manoa - 2012
We survey the history of natural disasters in the Pacific Rim, and the region's vulnerabilities. We also discuss the extent of our knowledge about the short- and long-term economic impacts of these disasters, and prevention, mitigation and post-disaster policies that may be implemented.

Economic costs of extratropical storms under climate change: an application of FUND
Narita, Daiju; Tol, Richard; Anthoff, David - In: Journal of Environmental Planning and Management 53 (2010) 3, pp. 371-384
Extratropical cyclones have attracted some attention in climate policy circles as a possible significant damage factor of climate change. This study conducts an assessment of economic impacts of increased storm activities under climate change with the integrated assessment model FUND 3.5. In the...

Economic impact of climate change on Nigeria's agriculture: a conceptual framework
Odozi, John Chiwuzulum; Awoyemi, Timothy Taiwo; … - In: African Journal of Economic and Sustainable Development 2 (2013) 2, pp. 139-156
Total impact of climate change (CC) on Nigeria's agriculture will be realised through direct and indirect pathways with a secondary effect on the economy. Impact however, depends on the capacity of the sector to manage CC risk and uncertainty. The review reveals sparse literature on this issue...

Les impacts économiques futurs du changement climatique sont-ils sous-estimés ?
Hallegatte, Stéphane; Théry, Daniel - In: Revue d'économie politique 117 (2007) 4, pp. 507-522
While the economic debate on climate policy focuses on discounting, we do not know yet what to discount. The potential (non-discounted) socio-economic cost of climate change, indeed, is still unknown. Only a few studies have tried to estimate socio-economic costs of climate change. Most of them...
