In this paper, we examine the similarities and the differences between two global problems, the Coronavirus pandemic and climate change, and the extent to which the experience with the COVID-19 pandemic can be of use for tackling climate change. We show that both problems share the same...

This paper uses a global integrated assessment model to assess how developing Asia, the world's fastest-growing source of carbon emissions, could transition to low-carbon growth. It finds that national net-zero pledges do not have a high chance of keeping peak warming below 2°C. Under an...

Myriad policy measures aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity sector, promote generation from renewable sources, and encourage energy conservation. To what extent do innovation and energy efficiency (EE) market failures justify additional interventions when a carbon price is...

The paper presents a method for assessing the economic impact of on-farm application of technology that causes reduction in greenhouse gasses emission. The proposed method takes into account the incomplete depreciation of technical means used under conditions of crop and animal production...

Theoretical analysis and empirical evidence show that leadership behavior in climate policy through increased abatement efforts or international transfers cannot be expected to be very successful. In this paper we instead show that pioneering activities, which are based on green technological...

We examine the effects of the growth of Chinese imports between 1995 and 2007 on the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of WTO countries. Using complementary estimators we establish that China's liberalised trade had significant effects on GHG emissions. The growth of Chinese imports increased the...
