Existing climate-economy models use aggregate damage functions to model the effects of climate change. This approach … assumes climate change has equal impacts on the productivity of firms that produce consumption and investment goods or … climate change. Drawing on the structural transformation literature, we develop a framework that incorporates heterogeneous …

If climate … change induces a structural change to the more productive sector, economies can benefit from climate change though … productivities in both sectors are reduced. If climate change causes structural shifts towards the less productive sector, damages …

The existing economics literature neglects the important role of capacity in the production of renewable energy. To … fiill this gap, we construct a model in which renewable energy production is tied to renewable energy capacity, which then … allocation of energy, and which therefore comes at the cost of reduced general production. Requiring societal well-being to never …

Twenty years of negotiations over reform of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) are yet to bear fruit. We use … status quo against our measures of equity and efficiency. Several proposals may actually worsen the issues they ostensibly …

The purpose is to provide … technical insight into recent advances in the modelling of current and future energy and abatement technologies and how they can … be used to make baseline projections and scenarios 20-80 years ahead. In order to represent likely energy system …

We study the capacity to meet food demand under conditions of climate change, economic and population growth. We take a … novel approach to quantifying climate impacts, based on a model of the global economy structurally estimated on the period … sector, endogenous fertility, directed technical change and fossil/renewable energy.
