We use the new version of the GTAP-W model to analyze the economy-wide impacts of enhanced irrigation efficiency. The … to improvements in irrigation efficiency in water-stressed regions is not beneficial for all. For water-stressed regions … and mostly negative. Global water savings are achieved. Not only regions where irrigation efficiency changes are able to …

I review the literature on the economic impacts of climate change, an externality that is unprecedentedly large, complex, and uncertain. Only 14 estimates of the total damage cost of climate change have been published, a research effort that is in sharp contrast to the urgency of the public...

Global climate change will increase outdoor and indoor heat loads, and may impair health and productivity for millions of working people. This study applies physiological evidence about effects of heat, climate guidelines for safe work environments, climate modelling and global distributions of...
