An Analysis of Adaptation as a Response to Climate Change
Bosello, Francesco; Carraro, Carlo; De Cian, Enrica - 2013
addresses this issue by carrying out an integrated analysis of both optimal mitigation and adaptation at the global and regional … level. Adaptation responses are disentangled into three different modes: reactive adaptation, proactive (or anticipatory …) adaptation, and investments in innovation for adaptation purposes. The size, the timing, the relative contribution to total …

Adaptation and mitigation in global pollution problems : economic impacts of productivity, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity
Ebert, Udo; Welsch, Heinz - 2011
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 … behavior with respect to emission and adaptation choices. …

The short-term population health effects of weather and pollution : implications of climate change
Ziebarth, Nicolas R.; Schmitt, Maike; Karlsson, Martin - 2013
This study comprehensively assesses the immediate effects of extreme weather conditions and high concentrations of ambient air pollution on population health. For Germany and the years 1999 to 2008, we link the universe of all 170 million hospital admissions, along with all 8 million deaths,...

Subsidizing human capital to overcome the green paradox : a demand-side approach
Steinkraus, Arne - 2016
This paper shifts the perspective of the recent green paradox literature towards the demand side. Based on a simple model, I show that a subsidy on input factors in a Cobb-Douglas production function may contribute substantially to postponing resource extraction into the future and, thereby, to...

Optimal stabilization in an emission permits market
Gerlagh, Reyer; Wan, Roweno J.R.K - 2018
We develop a 2-period emission trading model for a stock pollutant with demand shocks resolving over time. We find precise conditions for efficiency of a stabilization mechanism where cumulative available permits decrease with excess supply in early periods. Our model describes the stabilization...

Regulating stock externalities
Gerlagh, Reyer; Heijmans, Roweno - 2018
We develop a dynamic regulation game for a stock externality under asymmetric information and future market uncertainty. Within this framework, regulation is characterized as the implementation of a welfare-maximization program conditional on informational constraints. We identify the most...

The influence of the specification of climate change damages on the social cost of carbon
Kopp, Robert E.; Golub, Alexander; Keohane, Nathaniel O.; … - 2011
Drawing upon climate change damage functions previously proposed in the literature that we have calibrated to a common level of damages at 2.5 C, we examine the effect upon the social cost of carbon (SCC) of varying the specification of damages in a DICE-like integrated assessment model. In the...

The influence of the specification of climate change damages on the social cost of carbon
Kopp, Robert E.; Golub, Alexander; Keohande, Nathaniel O.; … - 2012
Drawing upon climate change damage specifications previously proposed in the literature that the authors have calibrated to a common level of damages at 2.5 C, the authors examine the effect upon the social cost of carbon (SCC) of varying damage specifications in a DICE-like integrated...

Wood-based bioenergy
Hoel, Michael; Sletten, Thea Marcelia - 2014
During recent years increased attention has been given to second-generation wood-based bioenergy. The carbon stored in the forest is highest when there is little or no harvest from the forest. Increasing the harvest from a forest, in order to produce more bioenergy, may thus conflict with the...
