Transient Temperature Response Modeling in IAMs : The Effects of Over Simplification on the SCC

Marten, Alex L. - 2011

Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) couple representations of the natural climate system with models of the global economy to capture interactions that are important for the evaluation of potential climate and energy policies. The U.S. federal government currently uses such models to derive the...

Decisions on Investments in Photovoltaics and Carbon Capture and Storage : A Comparison between Two Different Greenhouse Gas Control Strategies

Vögele, Stefan - 2012

Decisions of electricity suppliers on investments in low-carbon energy technologies like photovoltaic (PV) and carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) depend on the expected profits or surpluses that can be earned. For an assessment of the profitability of investments in PV (and other renewable...

Spatial Climate-Economic Models in the Design of Optimal Climate Policies across Locations

Brock, William A. - 2012

We couple a one-dimensional energy balance climate model with heat transportation across latitudes, with an economic growth model. We derive temperature and damage distributions across locations and optimal taxes on fossil fuels which, in contrast to zero-dimensional Integrated Assessment...

The Influence of the Specification of Climate Change Damages on the Social Cost of Carbon

Kopp, Robert E. - 2014

damages in a DICE-like integrated assessment model. In the absence of risk aversion, all of the SCC estimates but one agree … within a factor of two. The effect of varying calibration damages is mildly sublinear. With a moderate level of risk aversion … approximate the range of uncertainty in climate change damages. In the absence of risk aversion, SCC values calculated with this …

The Role of International Carbon Offsets in a Second-Best Climate Policy : A Numerical Evaluation

De Cian, Enrica - 2014

International carbon offsets have been promoted since the Kyoto Protocol and an increasing number of countries have implemented or proposed cap-and-trade schemes with international trading, even though with quantitative or qualitative restrictions. Those limits reflect the trade-off between...

Pareto Improving Climate Policies : Distributing the Benefits Across Generations and Regions

Hoel, Michael - 2015

Most studies show that the present generation has to take the burden and reduce consumption to mitigate future climate change. However, significant climate change is due to a market failure, and corrections of market failures give possibilities of Pareto improvements. In this paper, we study the...

Carbon Tax Burdens on Low-Income Households : A Reason for Delaying Climate Policy?

Parry, Ian - 2015

This paper discusses techniques for measuring the incidence of carbon taxes across different household income groups and provides some cross-country estimates of these effects for selected advanced countries. The general message of this paper is that distributional concerns should not...

Global Climate Change Mitigation : Strategic Incentives

Perdana, Sigit - 2018

Central to global agreement on carbon emissions are strategic interactions amongst regions over carbon tax implementation and the benefits to be shared. These are re-examined in this paper, in which benefits from mitigation stem from a meta-analysis that links carbon concentration with...

Climate Policy and Development

Gersbach, Hans - 2015

We propose a development-compatible refunding system designed to mitigate climate change. Industrial countries pay an initial fee into a global fund. Each country chooses its national carbon tax. Part of the global fund is refunded to developing and industrial countries, in proportion to the...

Climate talk in corporate earnings calls

Dzielinski, Michal; Eugster, Florian; Sjöström, Emma; … - 2022

Firms talk more about the climate on earnings conference calls when climate matters are more material for a firm, when there is greater shareholder pressure or when it is better prepared for climate-related disclosure. However, there is also large unexplained variation in climate talk. In a...
