A numerical analysis of optimal extraction and trade of oil under climate policy
Massetti, Emanuele; Sferra, Fabio - 2010
We introduce endogenous investments for increasing conventional and non-conventional oil extraction capacity in the integrated assessment model WITCH. The international price of oil emerges as the Nash equilibrium of a non-cooperative game. When carbon emissions are not constrained, oil is used...
