Future energy demand will be affected by changes in prices and income, but also by other factors, like temperature levels. This paper draws upon an econometric study, disentangling the contribution of temperature in the determination of the annual regional demand for energy goods. Combining...

In this paper we argue that when a subgroup of countries cooperate on emission reduction, the optimal response of non-signatories countries reflects the interaction between three potentially opposing factors, the incentive to free-ride on the benefits of cooperation, the incentive to expand the...

This paper contributes to the normative literature on mitigation and adaptation by framing the question of the optimal policy balance in the context of climate catastrophic risk. The analysis uses the WITCH integrated assessment model presenting updates both in its climate change damage and...

This paper presents an empirical study of energy demand in which demand for a series of energy goods (Gas, Oil Products, Coal, Electricity) is expressed as a function of various factors, including temperature. Parameter values are estimated econometrically, using a dynamic panel data approach....
