Voluntary corporate climate initiatives and regulatory loom : batten down the hatches
Ilić, Dragan; Mollet, Janick Christian - 2015
The rationale of voluntary corporate initiatives is often explained with preparedness for future regulation. We test this hypothesis for the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) and the Climate Leaders (CL), two popular voluntary US environmental programs to curb carbon emission that were operating...

Adaptation and the Allocation of Pollution Reduction Costs
Benchekroun, Hassan; Taherkhani, Farnaz - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Économie … - 2013
We consider a game of abatement of a transboundary pollutant. We use a time-consistent Shapley value allocation of the cost of pollution reduction, and study the sensitivity of such an allocation to countries' adaptation to pollution. A country's adaptation to pollution is captured by a change...

'The Voracity Effect' and Climate Change : The Impact of Clean Technologies
BENCHEKROUN, Hassan; RAY CHAUDHURI, Amrita - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Économie … - 2010
In the absence of a successful international cooperative agreement over the control of emissions there is a growing interest in the role that clean technologies may play to alleviate the climate change problem. Within a non-cooperative transboundary pollution game, we investigate, analytically...

Adaptation Effectiveness and Free-Riding Incentives in International Environmental Agreements
Benchekroun, H.; Marrouch, W.; Ray Chaudhuri, A. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2011
While an international agreement over the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions proves to be elusive, there is a large and growing support for investment in developing more effective technologies to adapt to climate change. We show that an increase in effectiveness of adaptation will...

Non-smooth climate change and emergent novel equilibria in an environmental-economic system
Bondarev, Anton; Greiner, Alfred - 2023
In this paper we study a basic model of economic growth where we integrate a zero-dimensional energy balance model of the Earth. The albedo of the Earth is the piecewise smooth function of the average surface temperature, thus, taking into account possible feedback effects of a higher...

Climate change, rice production, and migration in Vietnamese households
Baronchelli, Adelaide; Ricciuti, Roberto - 2018
This paper analyses the relationship between climate and migration in rural households in Viet Nam. We propose an … instrumental variable approach that controls for the potential endogeneity between crop production and migration using monthly …
