Limits to climate change
Chander, Parkash; Tulkens, Henry - 2001
The paper proves the existence and uniqueness of a noncooperative steady state in the context of a model of climate change. It also explores the possibility of cooperation and attainment of an optimal steady state. It is shown that the problem is similar to that in the static model (Chander and...

Transboundary Externalities and Property Rights: An International River Pollution Model
van der Laan, Gerard; Moes, Nigel - 2012
In this paper we study international river pollution problems. We introduce a model in which the agents (countries …) located along a river derive benefit while causing pollution, but also incur environmental costs of experiencing pollution … from all upstream agents. We find that total pollution in the model decreases when the agents decide to cooperate. The …

Von Kyoto nach Kopenhagen - dem wichtigsten Meilenstein für den globalen Klimaschutz
Kemfert, Claudia - In: DIW Wochenbericht 76 (2009) 49, pp. 848-854
Die Klimakonferenz in Kopenhagen im Dezember 2009 ist richtungweisend. Die G8-Länder haben sich grundsätzlich darauf verständigt, das Zwei- Grad-Ziel anzuerkennen. Viele Staaten haben wie Europa signalisiert, dass sie die Treibhausgasemissionen deutlich senken wollen. Der Erfolg von...

Simulating with RICE coalitionally stable burden sharing agreements for the climate change problem
Eyckmans, Johan; Tulkens, Henry - 1999
In this paper we test empirically with the Nordhaus and Yang (1996) RICE model the core property of the transfer scheme advocated by Germain, Toint and Tulkens (1997). This scheme is designed to sustain full co-operation in a voluntary international environmental agreement by making all...

Simulating coalitionally stable burden sharing agreements for the climate change problem
Eyckmans, Johan; Tulkens, Henry - 2001
In this paper we introduce the CLIMNEG World Simulation (CWS) model for simulating cooperative game theoretic aspects of global climate negotiations. The model is derived from the seminal RICE model by Nordhaus and Yang (1996). We first state the necessary conditions that determine optimal...

Voluntary Corporate Climate Initiatives and Regulatory Loom: Batten Down the Hatches
Ilic, Dragan; Mollet, Janick Christian - 2016
The rationale of voluntary corporate initiatives is often explained with anticipation of future regulation. We test this hypothesis for the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) and the Climate Leaders (CL), two popular voluntary US environmental programs to curb carbon emission that were operating...
