Energy Poverty Alleviation and its Consequences on Climate Change Mitigation and African Economic Development
Alloisio, Isabella - 2017
Energy access in Africa is a key policy priority, given the strict inter-relation between energy, economic growth and … sustainability. The current and projected trends on Africa access to energy and electricity indicate that unless new policies are … implemented, energy access in the continent will remain low, hindering Africa's ability to transition economically. The challenges …

A Stochastic Multiple Players Multi-Issues Bargaining Model for the Piave River Basin
Sgobbi, Alessandra; Carraro, Carlo - 2007
The objective of this paper is to investigate the usefulness of non-cooperative bargaining theory for the analysis of negotiations on water allocation and management. We explore the impacts of different economic incentives, a stochastic environment and varying individual preferences on players’...

Optimal Energy Investment and R&D Strategies to Stabilise Greenhouse Gas Atmospheric Concentrations
Carraro, Carlo; Bosetti, Valentina; Massetti, Emanuele; … - 2007
The stabilisation of GHG atmospheric concentrations at levels expected to prevent dangerous climate change has become an important, global, long-term objective. It is therefore crucial to identify a cost-effective way to achieve this objective. In this paper we use WITCH, a hybrid...

International Energy R&D Spillovers and the Economics of Greenhouse Gas Atmospheric Stabilization
Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Massetti, Emanuele; … - 2007
It is widely recognized that technological change has the potential to reduce GHG emissions without compromising economic growth; hence, any better understanding of the process of technological innovation is likely to increase our knowledge of mitigation possibilities and costs. This paper...

Stabilisation Targets, Technical Change and the Macroeconomic Costs of Climate Change Control
Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Galeotti, Marzio - 2006
The issue of greenhouse gas (GHG) stabilization stands on three critical open questions. Namely, what are the impacts deriving from different levels of climate change and their distribution. What are the levels at which GHG concentration should be stabilized in order to avoid unacceptable...

Energy and Climate Change in China
Carraro, Carlo; Massetti, Emanuele - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
The paper examines future energy and emissions scenarios in China, presenting historical data and scenarios generated using the Integrated Assessment Model WITCH. A Business-as-Usual scenario is compared with four scenarios in which Greenhouse Gases emissions are taxed, at different levels. Key...

Adapting to Climate Change: Costs, Benefits, and Modelling Approaches
Agrawala, Shardul; Bosello, Francesco; Carraro, Carlo; … - In: International Review of Environmental and Resource Economics 5 (2011) 3, pp. 245-284
This paper provides a summary and a critical survey of the methodologies and results of the literature on the economics of adaptation. We divide the literature into two broad areas of research. First, we examine the studies that analyse adaptation from a bottom-up perspective. Second, we...

Energy and Climate Change in China
Carraro, Carlo; Massetti, Emanuele - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2012
This paper examines future energy and emissions scenarios in China generated by the Integrated Assessment Model WITCH. A Business-as-Usual scenario is compared with five scenarios in which Greenhouse Gases emissions are taxed, at different levels. The elasticity of China’s emissions is...

What should we expect from innovation? A model-based assessment of the environmental and mitigation cost implications of climate-related R&D
Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Duval, Romain; … - In: Energy Economics 33 (2011) 6, pp. 1313-1320
This paper addresses two basic issues related to technological innovation and climate stabilization objectives: can innovation policies be effective in stabilizing climate? To what extent can innovation policies complement carbon pricing (taxes or permit trading) and improve the economic...
