The Effects of Climate Change in the Poorest Countries: Evidence from the Permanent Shrinking of Lake Chad

Jedwab, Remi; Haslop, Federico; Zarate, Roman; … - 2023

Empirical studies of the economic effects of climate change (CC) largely rely on climate anomalies for causal identification purposes. Slow and permanent changes in climate-driven geographical conditions, i.e. CC as defined by the IPCC (2013), have been studied relatively less, especially in...

The Dixit-Pindyck and the Arrow-Fisher-Hanemann-Henry option values are not equivalent

Mensink, Paul; Requate, Till - 2003

Fisher [2000, this journal] offers a unifying framework for two concepts of (quasi-) option value suggested by Arrow, Fisher, Hanemann, and Henry (AFHH) on the one hand, and by Dixit and Pindyck (DP) on the other, and claims these two concepts to be equivalent. We show that this claim is not...

Recursive intergenerational utility in global climate risk modeling

Minh, Ha-Duong; Treich, Nicolas - 1999

This paper distinguishes relative risk aversion and resistance to intertemporal substitution in climate risk modelling …. It shows that higher risk aversion increases the optimal carbon tax. Higher resistance to intertemporal substitution … alone has the same effect as increasing the discount rate, provided that the risk is not too large. We discuss implications …

The voracity effect and climate change: The impact of clean technologies

Benchekroun, Hassan; Chaudhuri, Amrita Ray - 2011

We show that a technological breakthrough that reduces CO2 emissions per output can exacerbate the climate change problem: countries may respond by raising their emissions resulting in an increase of the stock of pollution that may reduce welfare. Using parameter values based on empirical...

Total factor productivity growth when factors of production generate environmental externalities

Xepapadeas, Anastasios; Vouvaki, Dimitra - 2009

Total factor productivity growth (TFPG) has been traditionally associated with technological change. We show that when a factor of production, such as energy, generates an environmental externality in the form of CO2 emissions which is not internalized because of lack of environmental policy,...

Linkage of tradable permit systems in international climate policy architecture

Stavins, Robert N.; Jaffe, Judson - 2008

Cap-and-trade systems have emerged as the preferred national and regional instrument for reducing emissions of greenhouse gases throughout the industrialized world, and the Clean Development Mechanism' an international emission-reduction-credit system' has developed a substantial constituency,...

Environmental innovations, local networks and internationalization

Cainelli, Giulio; Mazzanti, Massimiliano; Montresor, Sandro - 2011

This paper investigates the drivers of the environmental innovations (EI) introduced by firms in local production systems (LPS). The role of firm network relationships, agglomeration economies and internationalization strategies is analysed for a sample of 555 firms in the Emilia-Romagna region,...
