Environmental and economic impact of carbon credit in Makassar City in Indonesia
Miyata, Yuzuru; Shibusawa, Hiroyuki; Fukuda, Takahide - 2015
Economic measures are advanced to environmental problems in EU nations. The economic approach imposes a constant economic load on activities negatively affecting the environment, and it is also a technique for giving a constant profit for activities conserving the environment. The whole society...

Measurement of flood damage due to climate change by dynamic spatial computable general equilibrium model
Nakajima, Kazunori; Morisugi, Hisayoshi; Morisugi, Masafumi - 2014
To explain economic impacts of flood damage due to climate change over time in Japan, this study develops a dynamic … spatial computable general equilibrium model, and measures flood damage costs through some numerical experiments. It is … inferred that the frequency and the intensity of flood are on the long-term increase. In the category of flood damage in Japan …

Climate change related risks, opportunities and adaptation actions in European cities : insights from responses to the CDP cities program
Groth, Markus; Brück, Maria; Oberascher, Teresa - 2016
Cities, home to more than half of the world's population and important economic hubs, are vulnerable to impacts of climate change and worthy to protect. To address these challenges, implementing climate change adaptation measures is inevitable. The paper provides insights into climate change...

Coalition formation with border carbon adjustment
Schopf, Mark - 2020
The present paper analyzes the impact of a climate coalition's border carbon adjustment on emissions from commodity production, welfare and the coalition size. The coalition implements border carbon adjustment to reduce carbon leakage and to improve its terms of trade, while the fringe abstains...

The distribution of energy efficiency and regional inequality
Hobbs, Andrew; Singhal, Puja - 2021
This paper studies the long-term distribution of energy-efficiency outcomes in the German residential sector. To uncover the underlying energy efficiency of buildings, we estimate the causal response of building-level heat energy demand to variability in heating degree days. We examine...

Will COVID-19 change the calculus of climate policy?
Rutherford, Thomas F.; Böhringer, Christoph - 2021
Public health experts caution that global warming increases the likelihood of novel coronaviruses and amplifies their impacts. Such contagions are virtually unique in their ability to inflict catastrophic worldwide harm. Even more alarming is the forecast that future coronavirus pandemics will...

Climate anomalies and international migration : a disaggregated analysis for West Africa
Martinez Flores, Fernanda; Milusheva, Sveta; Reichert, … - 2021 - This version: February 2021
West Africa is vulnerable to negative impacts of climate change and a potential channel of adjustment is migration. Using novel geo-referenced and high-frequency data, we investigate the extent to which soil moisture anomalies have an impact on international migration within the region and...

The commons problem under uncertainty and precaution
Bos, Björn; Drupp, Moritz A.; Meya, Jasper; Quaas, … - 2021 - Preliminary draft, March 2, 2021
We study a commons problem under uncertainty, where individual actions affect the risk of a future damage event. We show that for risk-averse agents, an extra risk on the amount of the damage induces more precautionary actions in Nash equilibrium. Similarly, for prudent agents an extra risk in...
