We show that several of the most important economic models of climate change produce climate dynamics inconsistent with the current crop of models in climate science. First, most economic models exhibit far too long a delay between an impulse of CO2 emissions and warming. Second, few economic...

public climate adaptation. Specifically, we distinguish three dimensions of public adaptation: extent, structure (form and … voters, pressure groups, bureaucrats and politicians may bias adaptation decisions. Thus, we indicate specific barriers to … efficient public adaptation. Based on this framework, we illustrate how Germany's response to major flood disasters reflects the …

This paper investigates the interrelation between adaptation and climate protection efforts of individuals in a cross …, private adaptation and climate protection activities are determined by different factors and thus cannot be substitutes …. Considering seven climate protection and four adaptation measures, these theoretical predictions are tested empirically using …

In an attempt to advance in the modelling of adaptation within IAM models, we apply this methodology to shed some … light on how the optimal balance between mitigation and adaptation changes under different stochastic scenarios. We find … that stochastic technology growth hardly affects the optimal bundle of mitigation and adaptation whereas uncertainty about …

This paper combines an econometric analysis of the response of energy demand to temperature and humidity exposure with future scenarios of climate change and socioeconomic development to characterize climate impacts on energy demand at different spatial scales. Globally, future climate change is...

This paper assesses the role of the public sector in adaptation to climate change. We first offer a definition and … categorisation of climate change adaptation. We then consider the primary economic principles that can guide the assignment of … adaptation tasks to either the private or the public sector, as well as those guiding assignment within the public sector itself …
