Will skyscrapers save the planet? : conference paper
Borck, Rainald - 2014 - Preliminary and incomplete
This paper studies the effectiveness of building height limits as a policy to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It shows that building height limits lead to urban sprawl and higher emissions from commuting. On the other hand, aggregate housing consumption may decrease which reduces emissions...

CO 2 emissions and greenhouse gas policy stringency : an empirical assessment
Probst, Marcel; Sauter, Caspar - 2015
This paper investigates how greenhouse gas (GHG) policy stringency affects anthropogenic CO2 emissions using a new GHG policy stringency indicator and a structural spatial VAR approach. We estimate an average country-specific elasticity of CO2 emissions to GHG policy stringency, and assess the...

The economic impact of climate change
Tol, Richard S. J. (contributor) - 2008
I review the literature on the economic impacts of climate change, an externality that is unprecedentedly large, complex, and uncertain. Only 14 estimates of the total damage cost of climate change have been published, a research effort that is in sharp contrast to the urgency of the public...
