Bigano, Andrea; Berrittella, Maria; Roson, Roberto; … - 2004
This paper studies the economic implications of climate-change-induced variations in tourism demand, using a world CGE model. The model is first re-calibrated at some future years, obtaining hypothetical benchmark equilibria, which are subsequently perturbed by shocks, simulating the effects of...

Modified Ramsey Discounting for Climate Change
Tol, Richard S.J. - 2013
The Ramsey rule for the consumption rate of discount assumes a transfer of money of a (representative) agent at one point in time to the same agent at another point in time. Climate policy (implicitly) transfers money not just over time but also between agents. I propose three alternative...

Economic Costs of Ocean Acidification: A Look into the Impacts on Shellfish Production
Narita, Daiju; Rehdanz, Katrin; Tol, Richard S.J. - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2011
Ocean acidification is increasingly recognized as a major global problem. Yet economic assessments of its effects are currently almost absent. Unlike most other marine organisms, mollusks, which have significant commercial value worldwide, have relatively solid scientific evidence of biological...

Targets for global climate policy: An overview
Tol, Richard S.J. - In: Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control 37 (2013) 5, pp. 911-928
A survey of the economic impact of climate change and the marginal damage costs shows that carbon dioxide emissions are a negative externality. The estimated Pigou tax and its growth rate are too low to justify the climate policy targets set by political leaders. A lower discount rate or greater...

Quantifying the consensus on anthropogenic global warming in the literature: A re-analysis
Tol, Richard S.J. - In: Energy Policy 73 (2014) C, pp. 701-705
A claim has been that 97% of the scientific literature endorses anthropogenic climate change (Cook et al., 2013. Environ. Res. Lett. 8, 024024). This claim, frequently repeated in debates about climate policy, does not stand. A trend in composition is mistaken for a trend in endorsement....
