Climate Change, Water Scarcity in Agriculture and the Economy-Wide Impacts in a CGE Framework
Ponce, Roberto; Parrado, Ramiro; Stehr, Alejandra; … - 2016
This paper analyzes the economic impacts of changes in water availability due to climate change. We develop a new modeling approach as an alternative to include water as a production factor within a global CGE model. We tailor the structure of the ICES model to characterize the key features of...

The optimal timing of greenhouse gas emission abatement, individual rationality and intergenerational equity
Tol, Richard S. J. - 1998
This paper explores the relationship between rationality and equity in an intergenerational context of greenhouse gas emission reduction. It is shown that the least-cost trajectory to a constraint on cumulative emissions implies an upward-sloping emission reduction effort, in most cases, whether...

Equitable cost-benefit analysis of climate change
Tol, Richard S. J. - 1999
The literature of welfare-maximising greenhouse gas emission reduction strategies pays remarkably little attention to equity. This paper introduces three ways to consider efficiency and equity simultaneously. The first method, inspired by Kant and Rawls, maximises net present welfare, without...

Integrated assessments of climate change policy: Intergenerational equity and discounting
Toth, Ferenc L. - 1999
One of the key decisions that economists working on integrated studies of climate change face is the selection of the method of accounting for damages resulting from possible climate change across a long temporal scale and the method for the intertemporal comparison of the costs associated with...

Climate change impacts on the Mediterranean Coastal Zones
Brochier, Frédéric; Ramieri, Emiliano - 2001
Climate change is widely recognised as a serious threat to the world's environment. The Mediterranean basin is considered as a unique scaled down model to assess the severity of potential climate change impacts on coastal zones. The paper examines the regional differences in the vulnerability of...

Climate change and water resources in the Middle East: Vulnerability, socio-economic impacts, and adaption
El- Fadel, Mutasem; Bou-Zeid, Elie R. - 2001
While the extent of human induced global warming is inconclusive, the vulnerability of natural systems to rapid changes in climate patterns is regarded as one of the most challenging issues in recent years. Water resources are a main component of natural systems that might be affected by climate...

Estimating global damages from sea level rise with the Coastal Impact and Adaptation Model (CIAM)
Diaz, Delavane B. - 2015
The costs of coastal sector impacts from sea level rise (SLR) are an important component of the total projected economic damages of climate change, a major input to decision-making and design of climate policy. Moreover, the ultimate costs to coastal resources will depend strongly on adaptation,...
