Optimal growth with adaptation to climate change

Dumas, Patrice; Ha-Duong, Minh - HAL - 2013

Many economic sectors, like housing or transportation, are exposed to climate and likely to suffer efficiency losses when climate changes. The global economy is far from dematerialized yet, these sectors represent a significant fraction of the existing capital stock. Using an optimal growth...

The role of renewable energy in climate stabilization: results from the EMF27 scenarios

Luderer, Gunnar; Krey, Volker; Calvin, Katherine; … - HAL - 2014

This paper uses the EMF27 scenarios to explore the role of renewable energy (RE) in climate change mitigation. Currently RE supplies almost 20 % of global electricity demand. Almost all EMF27 mitigation scenarios show a strong increase in renewable power production, with a substantial ramp-up of...

Drought and Civil War in Sub-Saharan Africa

Couttenier, Mathieu; Soubeyran, Raphaël - HAL - 2011

This paper contributes to the heated debate on the link between climate and civil war. We exploit a large dataset of a drought index commonly used in hydrology, the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI). The PDSI is based on a hydrological model and is a cumulative measure that takes account of...

Transport, health and climate change: Deciding on the optimal policy

Cabantous, Laure; Chanel, Olivier; Vergnaud, Jean-Christophe - HAL - 2010

Transport generates many externalities, some related to atmospheric pollution. In this paper, we focus on two: greenhouse gases, and local pollution. In the search for optimal transport policies, these two externalities have usually been analysed separately. Here, we study them jointly, in a...
