This paper develops a model that integrates the climate and the global economy---an integrated assessment model---with which different policy scenarios can be analyzed and compared. The model is a dynamic stochastic general-equilibrium setup with a continuum of regions. Thus, it is a full...

Growth and gas exchange measurements are used in conjunction with a carbon balance model to describe the millet (Pennisetum typhoides) - witchweed (Striga hermonthica) host-parasite association. Striga hermonthica reduces the growth of millet by 28% and radically alters the architecture of...

One important element of the current policy debate on what measures should be taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is the controversy over the costs of reducing those emissions. "Top-down" macroeconomic and general equilibrium models give much higher estimates of the costs than "bottom-up"...

Understanding the role of information communication and technology (ICT) in environmental issues stemming from extensive energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission in the process of economic development is worthwhile both from policy and scholarly fronts. Motivated on this premise, the study...

Global temperature has gradually been warming, which has had different impacts on economic activities in various countries. How to mitigate the negative impact of global climate change on economic development has become an important issue of concern for both governments and academia. In this...
