Vulnerability to natural shocks : assessing the short-term impact on consumption and poverty of the 2015 flood in Mozambique
Salvucci, Vincenzo; Santos, Ricardo - 2019
Mozambique is among the most disaster-prone countries in the world. A bigger than usual, and mostly unexpected, flood … those months to assess the short-term impact of the 2015 flood on household consumption and poverty levels. Applying a … difference-in-difference approach, we find that, for those exposed to the flood, consumption reduced significantly in the short …

Afforestation and timber management compliance strategies in climate policy : a computable general equilibrium analysis
Michetti, Melania; Nunes Rosa, Renato - 2011
This paper analyzes the role of afforestation-reforestation and timber management activities, and their major and secondary economic effects in stabilizing climate during the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol. In particular, with a Computable General Equilibrium framework, the ICES...

Impacts of border carbon adjustments on China’s sectoral emissions : simulations with a dynamic computable general equilibrium model
Bao, Qin; Tang, Ling; Zhang, ZhongXiang; Qiao, Han; … - 2011
Carbon-based border tax adjustments (BTAs) have recently been proposed by some OECD countries to level the carbon playing field and target major emerging economies. This paper applies a multi-sector dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to estimate the impacts of the BTAs...

The impact of carbon trading on industry : evidence from German manufacturing firms ; conference paper
Petrick, Sebastian; Wagner, Ulrich J. - 2014
We estimate the causal impact of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme on manufacturing firms using comprehensive panel data from the German production census. Semiparametric matching estimators yield robust evidence that the policy caused treated firms to abate one fifth of their CO2 emissions...

Growth and mitigation policies with uncertain climate damage
Bretschger, Lucas; Vinogradova, Alexandra - 2014
Climate physics predicts that the intensity of natural disasters will increase in the future due to climate change. We present a stochastic model of a growing economy where natural disasters are multiple and random, with damages driven by the economy's polluting activity. We provide a...

Climate change and firm valuation : evidence from a quasi-natural experiment
Krüger, Philipp - 2015
In this paper, I estimate the effect of mandatory greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disclosure on corporate value. Using the introduction of mandatory GHG emissions reporting for firms listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange as a source of exogenous variation, I find that firms most...

Internationally Coordinated Emission Permit Policies : An Option for Withdrawers from the Kyoto Protocol?
Bednar-Friedl, Birgit - 2014
This paper investigates the welfare costs of unilateral versus internationally coordinated emission permit policies in a two-country overlapping generations model with producer carbon emissions. We show that, for a net foreign debtor country, the domestic welfare costs of a unilateral domestic...

On the Effects of Linking Voluntary Cap-and-Trade Systems for CO2 Emissions
Weitzman, Martin - 2018
Linkage of cap-and-trade systems is typically advocated by economists on a general analogy with the beneficial linking of free-trade areas and on the specific grounds that linkage will ensure cost effectiveness among the linked jurisdictions. An appropriate and widely accepted specification for...
