This paper examines future energy and emissions scenarios in China generated by the Integrated Assessment Model WITCH … levels. The elasticity of China’s emissions is estimated by pooling observations from all scenarios and compared with the … elasticity of emissions in OECD countries. China has a higher elasticity than the OECD for a carbon tax lower than 50$ per ton of …

We estimate a time series model of weather shocks on English wheat yields for the early nineteenth century and use it … to predict weather effects on yield levels from 1697 to 1871. This reveals that yields in the 1690s were depressed by … unusually poor weather; and those in the late 1850s were inflated by unusually good weather. This has led researchers to …

We estimate how random weather fluctuations affected infant mortality across 28 African countries in the past … aggregate infant deaths in Africa, due to extreme weather events and to maternal malaria in epidemic areas for 1981-2000 and …
