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,...

Cooperation and competition in climate change policies : mitigation and climate engineering when countries are asymmetric
Manoussi, Vassiliki; Xepapadeas, Anastasios - 2014
We study a dynamic game of climate policy design in terms of emissions and solar radiation management (SRM) involving two heterogeneous regions or countries. Countries emit greenhouse gasses (GHGs), and can block incoming radiation by unilateral SRM activities, thus reducing global temperature....

Sustainable investing in times of crisis : evidence from bond holdings and the COVID-19 pandemic
Fatica, Serena; Panzica, Roberto Calogero - 2021
Using data on institutional investors' bond holdings, we investigate the resilience of green bonds to the COVID-19 shock in a difference-in-differences framework. We find that during the COVID outbreak green bonds experience lower sales, on average, while in normal times no significant...

Going green by putting a price on pollution: firm-level evidence from the EU
De Jonghe, Olivier; Mulier, Klaas; Schepens, Glenn - 2020
This paper shows that, when the price of emission allowances is sufficiently high, emission trading schemes improve the emission efficiency of highly polluting firms. The efficiency gain comes from a relative decrease in emissions rather than a relative increase in operating revenue. Part of the...

The economics of greenhouse gas mitigation in developing Asia
Reis, Lara Aleluia; Emmerling, Johannes; Tavoni, Massimo; … - 2016
Developing Asia has the world's fastest greenhouse gas emissions growth. This study uses an economy-energy-climate model to assess the effects of Paris Agreement pledges on Asia, in comparison with business as usual (BAU) and more ambitious scenarios. Results confirm that pledges must be...

Optimal carbon dioxide removal in face of ocean carbon sink feedback
Manoussi, Vassiliki; Shayegh, Soheil; Tavoni, Massimo - 2017
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is a potentially important climate strategy for attaining low climate stabilization objectives. However, climate analysis has indicated a possible weakening of the ocean carbon sinks -the largest in the world- in relation to CDR deployment. Here, we provide an...

An analysis of water security under climate change
Cappelli, Federica - 2017
Water is a multidimensional issue, involving water availability, access to freshwater, spatial and temporal distribution of resources, competition among its uses, ecosystems conservation, climate-related disasters and risks and several other aspects. The water security approach manages such...
