An Integrated Assessment of Climate Change, Air Pollution, and Energy Security Policy

Zwaan, Bob van der; Bollen, Johannes; Hers, Sebastiaan - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2009

This article presents an integrated assessment of climate change, air pollution, and energy security policy. Basis of our analysis is the MERGE model, designed to study the interaction between the global economy, energy use, and the impacts of climate change. For our purposes we expanded MERGE...

Marginal Abatement Cost Curves in General Equilibrium: The Influence of World Energy Prices

Klepper, Gernot; Peterson, Sonja - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004

Marginal abatement cost curves (MACCs) are one of the favorite instruments to analyze the impacts of the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol and emissions trading. As shown in this paper one important factor that influences MACCs are energy prices. This leads to the question of how to define...

Economic and Poverty Impacts of a Voluntary Carbon Reduction for a Small Liberalized Developing Economy: The Case of the Philippines

Corong, Erwin L. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2007

This paper analyzes the economic and poverty effects of a voluntary carbon emission reduction for a small liberalized economy—the Philippines. The simulation results indicate that tariff reductions undertaken by the Philippine government between 1994 and 2005 reduced the cost of fossil fuels...

Uncertain R&D, Backstop Technology and GHGs Stabilization

Bosetti, Valentina; Tavoni, Massimo - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2007

This paper analyses optimal investments in innovation when dealing with a stringent climate target and with the uncertain effectiveness of R&D. The innovation needed to achieve the deep cut in emissions is modelled by a backstop carbon-free technology whose cost depends on R&D investments. To...

The Impact of Climate Change on Domestic and International Tourism: A Simulation Study

Bigano, Andrea; Hamilton, Jacqueline M.; Tol, Richard S.J. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2006

We use an updated and extended version of the Hamburg Tourism Model to simulate the effect of development and climate change on tourism. Model extensions are the explicit modelling of domestic tourism and the inclusion of tourist expenditures. We also use the model to examine the impact of sea...

Using Expert Judgment to Assess Adaptive Capacity to Climate Change: Evidence From a Conjoint Choice Survey

Alberini, Anna; Chiabai, Aline; Muehlenbachs, Lucija - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2005

We use conjoint choice questions to ask public health and climate change experts, contacted at professional meetings in 2003 and 2004, which of two hypothetical countries, A or B, they deem to have the higher adaptive capacity to certain effects of climate change on human health. These...

The Timing of National Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions in the Presence of Other Environmental Policies

Dellink, Rob B.; Hofkes, Marjan W. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2006

This paper shows in an empirical context that substantial cost reductions can be achieved in the implementation of Dutch national climate policy by (i) targeting the policy at the stock of greenhouse gases, thus allowing polluters flexibility in their timing of emission reductions; and (ii)...
