The Impact of a Carbon Tax on International Tourism

Tol, Richard S.J. - 2007

A simulation model of international tourist flows is used to estimate the impact of a carbon tax on aviation fuel. The effect of the tax on travel behaviour is small: a global $1000/tC would change travel behaviour to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from international aviation by 0.8%. This is...

Economy-Wide Estimates of the Implications of Climate Change: A Joint Analysis for Sea Level Rise and Tourism

Bosello, Francesco; Bigano, Andrea; Roson, Roberto; … - 2006

Climate change impacts on human life have well defined and different origins, nevertheless in the determination of their final effects, especially those involving social-economic responses, interactions among impacts are likely to play an important role. This paper is one of the first attempts...

How Fast are Small Tourist Countries Growing? The 1980-2003 Evidence

Pigliaru, Francesco; Brau, Rinaldo; Lanza, Alessandro - 2007

We analyze the empirical relationship between growth, country size and tourism specialization by using a dataset covering the period 1980-2003. We find that tourism countries grow significantly faster than all the other sub-groups considered in our analysis. Tourism appears to be an independent...

The Value of ITC under Climate Stabilization

Gerlagh, Reyer - 2005

We assess the effect of ITC in a global growth model, DEMETER-1CCS, with learning by doing where energy savings, an energy transition, and carbon capturing and sequestration (CCS) are the main options for emissions reductions. The model accounts for technology based on learning by doing embodied...

On International Equity Weights and National Decision Making on Climate Change

Anthoff, David; Tol, Richard S.J. - 2007

Estimates of the marginal damage costs of carbon dioxide emissions require the aggregation of monetised impacts of climate change over people with different incomes and in different jurisdictions. Implicitly or explicitly, such estimates assume a social welfare function and hence a particular...

Trade, Technique and Composition Effects: What is Behind the Fall in World-Wide SO2 Emissions 1990-2000?

Grether, Jean-Marie; Mathys, Nicole A.; de Melo, Jaime - 2007

world-wide SO2 emissions and estimate the impact of trade on emissions. Contrarily to concerns raised by environmentalists …, by allowing clean countries to become net importers of emissions, leads to a 10% increase in world emissions with respect … situations where world emissions are either maximal or minimal. It turns out that effective emissions correspond to a 90 …

Introducing Imperfect Competition in CGE Models: Technical Aspects and Implications

Roson, Roberto - 2006

This paper considers the technical aspects and the consequences, in terms of simulation results and policy assessment, of introducing imperfect competition in a CGE model. The modifications to the standard CGE framework needed to model imperfect competition in some industries are briefly...

Induced Technological Change in a Limited Foresight Optimization Model

Hedenus, Fredrik; Azar, Christian; Lindgren, Kristian - 2005

The threat of global warming calls for a major transformation of the energy system the coming century. Modeling technological change is an important factor in energy systems modeling. Technological change may be treated as induced by climate policy or as exogenous. We investigate the importance...

Marginal abatement cost curves in general equilibrium: The influence of world energy prices

Klepper, Gernot; Peterson, Sonja - 2004

world wide influences energy prices and thus national MACCs. We first discuss the mechanisms theoretically and then use the … CGE model DART to quantify the effects. The result is, that changes in energy prices resulting from different world wide …
