Demand versus supply side climate policies with a carbon dioxide ceiling
Eichner, Thomas; Kollenbach, Gilbert; Schopf, Mark - 2018
Consider a dynamic model with two countries or coalitions that consume and trade fossil fuel. A non-abating country owns the entire fuel stock and is not concerned about climate change, represented by a ceiling on the carbon dioxide concentration. The government of the other country implements...

Wood-based bioenergy
Hoel, Michael; Sletten, Thea Marcelia - 2014
During recent years increased attention has been given to second-generation wood-based bioenergy. The carbon stored in the forest is highest when there is little or no harvest from the forest. Increasing the harvest from a forest, in order to produce more bioenergy, may thus conflict with the...

What we know and don't know about climate change, and implications for policy
Pindyck, Robert S. - 2020 - This draft: May 11, 2020
There is a lot we know about climate change, but there is also a lot we don't know. Even if we knew how much CO2 will be emitted over the coming decades, we wouldn't know how much temperatures will rise as a result. And even if we could predict the extent of warming that will occur, we can say...
