The Katunggan It Ibajay (KII) Eco-Park (44.22 ha-1) in Bugtongbato, Ibajay, Aklan, Philippines was selected in this study to determine the species diversity and to quantify the soil carbon sequestration potential of mangrove species. In identifying and recording the trees in the area, five (5)...

Countries around the world require ambitious and effective policy instruments to mitigate climate change. Yet, many governments have struggled to pass efficient, economy-wide carbon prices. Instead, climate reforms often comprise hybrid policy instruments that bundle pricing, regulatory, and...

The potential impact of climate change on international migration patterns has recently received considerable attention in both the public and academic debate, yet much of the empirical literature fails to find increases in international migration due to climate change. The current paper...

We use a long history of global temperature and atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration to estimate the conditional joint evolution of temperature and CO2 at a millennial frequency. We document three basic facts. First, the temperature-CO2 dynamics are non-linear, so that large deviations...

Die Rubrik »Kurz zum Klima« erscheint nun bereits seit drei Jahren mit nahezu 60 Ausgaben. Dieser Beitrag greift drei Themen aus den Bereichen Energie-, Klima- und Umweltpolitik – das Reserven-Produktions-Verhältnis, die weltweite CO2-Reduktion und das Problem der Überfischung – erneut...

This paper asks how countries can implement their commitments to limit the increase in the global average temperature under the recent Paris Agreement on Climate Change for agriculture. An initial examination of the relevant trade rules and case law indicates that they appear unable to legally...

This paper integrates innovation input and output effects of R&D subsidies into a modified Crépon–Duguet–Mairesse (CDM) model. Our results largely confirm insights of the input additionality literature, i.e. public subsidies complement private R&D investment. In addition, results point to...

We study the eventual structural differences of climate change leading ‘actors’ such as Northern EU countries, and ‘lagging actors’ - southern EU countries and the ‘Umbrella group’ - with regard to long run (1960-2001) carbon-income relationships. Parametric and semi parametric panel...
