We consider the interplay of climate change impacts, global mitigation policies, and the interests of developing countries to 2050. Focusing on Malawi, Mozambique, and Zambia, we employ a structural approach to biophysical and economic modeling that incorporates climate uncertainty and allows...

Global warming is the most significant threat to ecosystems and people’s health and living standards, especially in small island states in the Caribbean and elsewhere. This paper contributes to the debate by analyzing different options to scale up climate change mitigation and adaptation. In...

In this paper we use the hybrid integrated model WITCH to quantify and analyze the investments and financial flows stimulated by a climate policy to stabilize Greenhouse Gases concentrations at 550ppm CO2-eq at the end of the century. We focus on investments to decarbonize the power sector and...

In this paper, a demand-driven growth model is used to explore climate change scenarios faced by the South African … fiscal balances. Results show that emission reduction alone will not put South Africa on a sustainable and equitable growth … fiscal and monetary policies lead to faster output and productivity growth, higher employment, and lower inequality.

This paper hypothesizes and establishes empirically that climate change policies spread more easily between closely related countries, leading to worldwide differences in climate change policy performance. Exploiting variations across countries, the study provides evidence that genetic distance...
