Do extreme weather events generate attention to climate change?
Sisco, Matthew R.; Bosetti, Valentina; Weber, Elke U. - 2016
We analyzed the effects of 10,748 weather events on attention to climate change between December 2011 and November 2014 … events began, compared to directly before. This suggests that actual experiences with extreme weather events are driving the … increases in attention to climate change, beyond the purely descriptive information provided by the weather forecasts directly …

When do extreme weather events generate attention to climate change?
Sisco, Matthew R. - 2020
We analyzed the effects of 10,748 weather events on attention to climate change between December 2011 and November 2014 … events began, compared to directly before. Financial damage associated with the weather events had a positive and significant … effect on attention, although the effect was small. The abnormality of each weather event's occurrence compared to local …

A Good Opening: The Key to Make the Most of Unilateral Climate Action
Bosetti, Valentina; Cian, Enrica De - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
In this paper we argue that when a subgroup of countries cooperate on emission reduction, the optimal response of non-signatory countries reflects the interaction between three potentially opposing factors, the incentive to free-ride on the benefits of cooperation, the incentive to expand the...

Incentives and Stability of International Climate Coalitions: An Integrated Assessment
Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Cian, Enrica De; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
This paper analyses the incentives to participate in and the stability of international climate coalitions. Using the integrated assessment model WITCH, the analysis of coalitions’ profitability and stability is performed under alternative assumptions concerning the pure rate of time...

Emissions Pricing to Stabilize Global Climate
Bosetti, Valentina; Paltsev, Sergey; Reilly, John; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
In the absence of significant greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation, many analysts project that atmospheric concentrations of species identified for control in the Kyoto protocol could exceed 1000 ppm (carbon-dioxide-equivalent) by 2100 from the current levels of about 435 ppm. This could lead to...

Politically Feasible Emission Target Formulas to Attain 460 ppm CO[subscript 2] Concentrations
Frankel, Jeffrey A.; Bosetti, Valentina - Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University - 2011
A new climate change treaty must plug three gaps: 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 expect compliance. To be politically acceptable, it must obey...

Sustainable Cooperation in Global Climate Policy: Specific Formulas and Emission Targets to Build on Copenhagen and Cancun
Bosetti, Valentina; Frankel, Jeffrey - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
We offer a framework to assign quantitative allocations of emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), across countries, one budget period at a time. Under the two-part plan: (i) China, India, and other developing countries accept targets at Business as Usual (BAU) in the coming budget period, the...

Taxing Carbon under Market Incompleteness
Bosetti, Valentina; Maffezzoli, Marco - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
This paper is the first attempt, to the best of our knowledge, to study the impact of a carbon tax by means of a heterogeneous agents model. The objectives of the paper are two: i) To assess how the results of a representative agent model compare to those coming from a model accounting for...

Sustainable Cooperation in Global Climate Policy: Specific Formulas and Emission Targets to Build on Copenhagen and Cancun
Frankel, Jeffrey Alexander; Bosetti, Valentina - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2011
We explore a framework that could be used to assign quantitative allocations of emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), across countries, one budget period at a time. Under the two-part plan: (i) China, India, and other developing countries accept targets at Business as Usual (BAU) in the coming...

Sustainable Cooperation in Global Climate Policy: Specific Formulas and Emission Targets
Bosetti, Valentina; Frankel, Jeffrey A. - Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University - 2012
We explore a framework that could be used to assign quantitative allocations of emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), across all countries, one budget period at a time, as envisioned at the December 2011 negotiations in Durban. Under the two-part plan: (i) China, India, and other developing...
