Adapting to climate change : an analysis under uncertainty

García-León, David - 2016

Climate change is a phenomenon beset with major uncertainties and researchers should include them in Integrated Assessment Models. However, including further dimensions in IAM models comes at a cost. In particular, it makes most of these models suffer from the curse of dimensionality. In this...

The inefficiency of private adaptation to pollution in the presence of endogeneous market structure

Eisenack, Klaus - 2010

The paper considersan industry where the effects of pollution can be off-set by investing in adaption as a private good. The focus is not on external effects, but on economies of scale that are introducted when the costs of adapting to pollution are independent from the quantity produced. The...

Unilateral emission reductions can lead to Pareto improvements when adaptation to damages is possible

Eisenack, Klaus; Kähler, Leonhard - 2012

Policy advocates frequently request for unilateral action to push forward climate protection in international negotiations. It is yet conventional wisdom in environmental economics that unilateral action does not pay for the first mover due to free-riding behavior of the other countries. How...

Costa, Luís Fílípe Carvalho da - 2013

This thesis aims at improving the current representation of adaptation in economic frameworks of climate change by a) accounting for the time-dependent evolution of the adaptive capacities of countries and b) quantifying unwelcome feedbacks of the adaptation process. In this context, it is...

Economic impact of climate change : simulations with a regionalized climate-economy model

Deke, Oliver; Hooss, Kurt Georg; Kasten, Christiane; … - 2001

Climate change affects the physical and biological system in many regions of the world. The extent to which human systems will suffer economically from climate change depends on the adaptive capabilities within a region as well as across regions. We use an economic General-Equilibrium model and...
