To leave or not to leave? : climate change, exit, and voice on a Pacific Island

Noy, Ilan - 2016

Observers repeatedly predict that climate change will lead and is already causing massive migration with very large … the contemporary link between climate change and migration fails to find much evidence of this migration. As climate …-in-the-Mine for climate change research. If migration driven by climate change is not happening today, Tuvalu may explain why. One …

Climate, urbanization, and conflict : the effects of weather shocks and floods on urban social disorder

Castells-Quintana, David; McDermott, Thomas K. J. - 2019

In this paper, we test the effect of weather shocks and floods on urban social disorder for a panel of large cities in developing countries. We focus on a particular mechanism, namely the displacement of population into (large) cities. We test this hypothesis using a novel dataset on...

Optimal climate policy with fat-tailed uncertainty : what the models can tell us

De Bruin, Kelly C.; Krishnamurthy, Chandra Kiran - 2021

We present a modification of the most commonly used integrated assessment model (IAM) of climate change (DICE-2016), AD-DICE2016, which is designed to address three key aspects of climateeconomy models: treatment of uncertainty, the use of more appropriate utility functions, and including...

Effects of carbon pricing and other climate policies on CO2 emissions

Kohlscheen, Emanuel; Moessner, Richhild; Takáts, Előd - 2021

We provide ex-post empirical analysis of the effects of climate policies on carbon dioxide emissions at the aggregate national level. Our results are based on a comprehensive database of 121 countries. As climate policies we examine carbon taxes and emissions trading systems (ETS), as well as...

Smart cap

Karp, Larry S.; Traeger, Christian - 2021

We introduce a "smart" cap and trade system that eliminates the welfare costs of asymmetric information (“uncertainty”). This cap responds endogenously to technology or macroeconomic shocks, relying on the market price of certificates to aggregate information. It allows policy makers to...

Prices versus quantities reassessed

Karp, Larry S.; Traeger, Christian - 2018

"Prices versus quantities" (Weitzman 1974), a hugely influential paper, is widely cited (and taught) in current debates about the best policy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The paper's criterion for ranking policies suggests that technological uncertainty favors taxes over cap and trade....

Pricing climate risk

Jensen, Svenn; Traeger, Christian - 2021

Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are changing the energy balance of our planet. Various climatic feedbacks make the resulting warming over the next decades and centuries highly uncertain. We quantify how this uncertainty changes the optimal carbon tax in a stochastic dynamic programming...

Effects of green technology support policies on carbon dioxide emissions

Moessner, Richhild - 2024

This paper provides ex-post empirical evidence on the effects of green technology support policies, in comparison with other climate policies, on carbon dioxide emissions at the aggregate national level. The paper uses cross-country dynamic panel estimation for a sample of 38 countries over the...

Equity and justice in global warming policy

Kverndokk, Snorre; Rose, Adam - 2008

Many countries are implementing or at least considering policies to counter increasingly certain negative impacts from climate change. An increasing amount of research has been devoted to the analysis of the costs of climate change and its mitigation, as well as to the design of policies, such...

Climate change and individual decision making : an examination of knowledge, risk perception, self-interest and their interplay

Pongiglione, Francesca - 2011

In this essay, three separate yet interconnected components of pro-environmental decision making are considered: (a) knowledge, in the form of basic scientific understanding and procedural knowledge, (b) risk perception, as it relates to an individual's direct experience of climate change and...
