We find … that stochastic technology growth hardly affects the optimal bundle of mitigation and adaptation whereas uncertainty about … problems. In an attempt to advance in the modelling of adaptation within IAM models, we apply this methodology to shed some …

We propose a theory of climate-policy motivated foreign intervention to study different forms of international climate governance in the presence of power imbalance. Foreign countries have at least three options to intervene in another country's domestic climate policy: i.) Agreements with...

This paper studies the influence of productivity, pollution sensitivity, and adaptive capacity on optimal mitigation … and adaptation in a two country global pollution model. We investigate the effects of changes of these parameters on the … allocation of emissions, adaptation expenditures, and welfare. In our analysis we distinguish between cooperative and …
