Land Use and Climate Change Interactions
Mendelsohn, Robert; Dinar, Ariel - In: Annual Review of Resource Economics 1 (2009) 1, pp. 309-332
Land use and land-use change can result in the emissions of greenhouse gases that cause climate change. Climate change also affects the productivity of land, which in turn leads to further land-use change. This paper explores the growing research on both topics. The land-use emission literature...

Chapter 60 Past Climate Change Impacts on Agriculture
Mendelsohn, Robert - In: Handbook of agricultural economics : volume 3: …, (pp. 3009-3031). 2007
This paper examines the likely impact on agriculture of the climate change which has already taken place between 1960 and 2000. Accumulating greenhouse gases have caused global temperatures to rise approximately 0.25 °C during this period and for precipitation patterns to shift. Using...

Estimating Ricardian Models With Panel Data
Massetti, Emanuele; Mendelsohn, Robert - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
Many nonmarket valuation models, such as the Ricardian model, have been estimated using cross sectional methods with a single year of data. Although multiple years of data should increase the robustness of such methods, repeated cross sections suggest the results are not stable. We argue that...

A Ricardian Analysis of the Impact of Climate Change on European Agriculture
Passel, Steven Van; Massetti, Emanuele; Mendelsohn, Robert - CESifo - 2014
This research estimates the impact of climate on European agriculture using a continental scale Ricardian analysis. Climate, soil, geography and regional socio-economic variables are matched with farm level data from 37,612 farms across Western Europe. We demonstrate that a median quantile...

A Ricardian Analysis of the Impact of Climate Change on European Agriculture
Passel, Steven Van; Massetti, Emanuele; Mendelsohn, Robert - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012
This research estimates the impact of climate on European agriculture using a continental scale Ricardian analysis. Data on climate, soil, geography and regional socio-economic characteristics were matched for 37 612 individual farms across the EU-15. Farmland values across Europe are sensitive...

Carbon Storage and Bioenergy: Using Forests for Climate Mitigation
Favero, Alice; Mendelsohn, Robert; Sohngen, Brent - 2016
The carbon mitigation literature has separately considered using forests to store carbon and as a source of bioenergy …. In this paper, we look at both options to reach a 2°C mitigation target. This paper combines the global forest model, GTM …, with the IAM WITCH model to study the optimal use of forestland to reach an aggressive global mitigation target. The …

A Ricardian Analysis of the Impact of Climate Change on Italian Agriculture
Bozzola, Martina; Massetti, Emanuele; Mendelsohn, Robert; … - 2017
This research investigates the potential impact of warming on Italian agriculture. Using a detailed dataset of 16,000 farms across Italy, the study examines likely warming impacts in different regions and for different sectors of Italian agriculture. The study finds that farm net revenues are...

Efficient Pollution Regulation: Getting the Prices Right
Muller, Nicholas Z.; Mendelsohn, Robert - In: American Economic Review 99 (2009) 5, pp. 1714-39
This paper argues for efficient environmental regulations that equate the marginal damage of pollution to marginal abatement costs across space. The paper estimates the source-specific marginal damages of air pollution and calculates the welfare gain from making the current sulfur dioxide...
