This paper analyzes the impacts of the modified needs for space heating and cooling due to global warming on the … Switzerland over the period 2010–2060. We find significant welfare gains from reduced heating needs, exceeding largely the costs … of the additional electricity needed for cooling. We also find large rebound effects. For instance, while the climate …
