How to build resilience to conflict: The role of food security

Breisinger, Clemens; Ecker, Olivier; Maystadt, … - International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) - 2014

This Food Policy Report explains why there is a need to place even higher priority on food security-related policies and programs in conflict-prone countries, and offers insights for policymakers regarding how to do so. To understand the relationship between conflict and food security, this...

Adaptation vs. climate protection: Responses to climate change and policy preferences of individuals in China, Germany, and the USA

Schwirplies, Claudia - Volkswirtschaft Abteilung, Fachbereich … - 2015

This paper investigates the interrelation between adaptation and climate protection efforts of individuals in a cross-country comparison. The theoretical predictions based on a subjective utility framework demonstrate that, at the individual level, private adaptation and climate protection...

The interface between the trade and climate change regimes: Scoping the issues

Low, Patrick; Marceau, Gabrielle; Reinaud, Julia - Economic Research and Statistics Division (ERSD), World … - 2011

As governments increasingly adopt policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, concern has grown on two fronts. First, carbon leakage can occur when mitigation policies are not the same across countries and producers seek to locate in jurisdictions where production costs are least affected by...

Welfare Analysis of an Optimal Carbon Tax in Chile

Espinosa, Cristian; Fornero, Jorge - In: Revista de Analisis Economico – Economic Analysis Review 29 (2014) 2, pp. 75-111

We analyze a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model which includes a negative externality that arises from fossil fuels burnings. The carbon released to the atmosphere by electricity producers is the main driver of climate change. We adapt the optimal tax derived by Golosov et al. (2011)...

Models-as-Usual for Unusual Risks? On the Value of Catastrophic Climate Change

Bommier, Antoine; Lanz, Bruno; Zuber, Stéphane - Center for International Environmental Studies, The … - 2013

We study the role of alternative intertemporal preference representations in a model of economic growth, stock pollutant and endogenous risk of catastrophic collapse. We contrast the traditional “discounted utility” model, which assumes risk neutrality with respect to intertemporal utility,...

Air pollution policy in Europe: Quantifying the interaction with greenhouse gases and climate change policies

Bollen, Johannes; Brink, Corjan - In: Energy Economics 46 (2014) C, pp. 202-215

This paper uses the computable general equilibrium model WorldScan to analyse interactions between EU's air pollution and climate change policies. Covering the entire world and seven EU countries, WorldScan simulates economic growth in a neo-classical recursive dynamic framework, including...

Integrated assessment modeling of climate change adaptation in forestry and pasture land use: A review

Rose, Steven K. - In: Energy Economics 46 (2014) C, pp. 548-554

Climate change is likely to affect commercial forest and pasture land use and production activities. As such, behavioral responses that adapt to the new and evolving climatic conditions are also likely. Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) have an important role to play. IAMs are a unique class...

Agricultural adaptation to climate change in rich and poor countries: Current modeling practice and potential for empirical contributions

Hertel, Thomas W.; Lobell, David B. - In: Energy Economics 46 (2014) C, pp. 562-575

In this paper we discuss the scope of the adaptation challenge facing world agriculture in the coming decades. Due to rising temperatures throughout the tropics, pressures for adaptation will be greatest in some of the poorest parts of the world where the adaptive capacity is least abundant. We...

Climate change adaptation and water resource management: A review of the literature

Olmstead, Sheila M. - In: Energy Economics 46 (2014) C, pp. 500-509

This paper considers the extent and usefulness of the existing empirical literature on water supply, demand, and … the likely economic impacts of climate change, acting through water supply and demand effects in specific river basins …, regional, and national water management institutions, we also review what is known about the responses of water users to water …
