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 …

Changing Electricity Markets: Quantifying the Price Effects of Greening the Energy Matrix

Kohlscheen, Emanuel; Moessner, Richhild - 2022

We analyse the drivers of European Power Exchange (EPEX) wholesale electricity prices between 2012 and early 2022 using machine learning. The agnostic random forest approach that we use is able to reduce in-sample root mean square errors (RMSEs) by around 50% when compared to a standard linear...
