An integrated assessment model is used to simulate the introduction of various emissions trading schemes based on the Kyoto protocol on the reduction of greenhouse emissions. The implications of the various systems in terms of income distribution are illustrated, and it is claimed that the issue...

After the climate conferences in Copenhagen and Cancun, it is likely that the EU remains more ambitious regarding greenhouse gas reduction targets than other countries. The possible problem of carbon leakage and instruments to tackle it therefore remains an important issue in the European...

in discrete time. Therefore, the hedging bias which originates from the effects of time-discretising strategies is … analysed. It turns out that a systematic hedging bias can only be avoided if a discrete-time hedging model is used. It is shown … how the robustness property for convex payoffs is recovered while at the same time the hedging bias is avoided. …

Sustaining and accelerating agricultural growth remains a development imperative in view of persistent rural poverty and emerging threats to food security. While growth can be achieved by expansion of agricultural area and input intensification, growth through improvement in productivity is a...
