The use of CCS in global carbon management: simulation with the DICE model

Narita, Daiju - 2008

This study attempts a numerical simulation of potential CCS (carbon dioxide capture and storage) use by using a modified version of the DICE (Dynamic Integrated model on Climate and Economy) model (Nordhaus, 1994; Nordhaus and Boyer, 2000). In DICE, CO2 emissions are controlled to the extent in...

Exchange Rate Volatility and Investment, A Panel Data Cointegration Approach

Diallo, Ibrahima Amadou - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2008

This paper examines the link between the real exchange rate volatility and domestic investment by using the panel data cointegration techniques. In the first part of the paper, we study the theoretical link between the exchange rate, its volatility and the investment in a small open economy. The...

The optimal time path for carbon abatement and carbon sequestration under uncertainty: The case of stochastic targeted stock

Haim, David; Plantinga, Andrew J.; Thomann, Enrique - In: Resource and Energy Economics 36 (2014) 1, pp. 151-165

We explore the optimal time path of carbon sequestration and carbon abatement in stabilizing CO2 levels under uncertainty of climate impacts. Using a two-period sequential decision making model, we analytically derive optimal rates for the two control variables, abatement and sequestration...

When ignorance is not bliss: Pest control decisions involving beneficial insects

Grogan, Kelly A. - In: Ecological Economics 107 (2014) C, pp. 104-113

Recent survey data revealed that many California citrus growers did not know whether or not important beneficial insects were found on their fields while other growers were relying heavily or even entirely on these insects for pest control. Some pesticides are toxic both to the targeted pest and...

Alternative transportation fuel standards: Welfare effects and climate benefits

Chen, Xiaoguang; Huang, Haixiao; Khanna, Madhu; Önal, Hayri - In: Journal of Environmental Economics and Management 67 (2014) 3, pp. 241-257

This paper develops an integrated model of the fuel and agricultural sectors to analyze the welfare and greenhouse gas emission (GHG) effects of the existing Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), a Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) and a carbon price policy. The conceptual framework shows that these...

MPEC strategies for efficient and stable scheduling of hydrogen pipeline network operation

Zhou, Li; Liao, Zuwei; Wang, Jingdai; Jiang, Binbo; … - In: Applied Energy 119 (2014) C, pp. 296-305

Hydrogen pipeline network operation is important for balancing the hydrogen producing and consuming unit onsite. To make the operation efficient and stable, this article presents a mathematical program which incorporates equilibrium constraints (MPECs) for scheduling of hydrogen pipeline network...

Efficient parallel solution of large-scale nonlinear dynamic optimization problems

Word, Daniel; Kang, Jia; Akesson, Johan; Laird, Carl - In: Computational Optimization and Applications 59 (2014) 3, pp. 667-688

This paper presents a decomposition strategy applicable to DAE constrained optimization problems. A common solution method for such problems is to apply a direct transcription method and solve the resulting nonlinear program using an interior-point algorithm. For this approach, the time to solve...
