Some recent papers by Dell et al. (2009) and Dell et al. (2012) (DJO) relating weather and economic outcomes, have delivered meaningful messages with clear implications to the effects of a changing climate. In a nutshell, the authors claim that a 1°C increase in global average temperatures...

In an attempt to advance in the modelling of adaptation within IAM models, we apply this methodology to shed some … light on how the optimal balance between mitigation and adaptation changes under different stochastic scenarios. We find … that stochastic technology growth hardly affects the optimal bundle of mitigation and adaptation whereas uncertainty about …

This paper combines an econometric analysis of the response of energy demand to temperature and humidity exposure with future scenarios of climate change and socioeconomic development to characterize climate impacts on energy demand at different spatial scales. Globally, future climate change is...

The Coastal Impact and Adaptation Model (CIAM) determines … the optimal strategy for adaptation at the local level, evaluating over 12,000 coastal segments, as described in the DIVA …

The dominant assumption in economic models of climate policy remains that adaptation will be implemented in an optimal … manner. There are, however, several reasons why optimal levels of adaptation may not be attainable.
