Integrated assessment modeling of climate change adaptation in forestry and pasture land use: A review

Rose, Steven K. - In: Energy Economics 46 (2014) C, pp. 548-554

Climate change is likely to affect commercial forest and pasture land use and production activities. As such, behavioral responses that adapt to the new and evolving climatic conditions are also likely. Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) have an important role to play. IAMs are a unique class...

Land-based mitigation in climate stabilization

Rose, Steven K.; Ahammad, Helal; Eickhout, Bas; Fisher, … - In: Energy Economics 34 (2012) 1, pp. 365-380

This paper evaluates the role of land in long-run climate stabilization mitigation scenarios. The details of land modeling for common stabilization policy scenarios are, for the first time, presented, contrasted, and assessed. While we find significant differences in approaches across modeling...

Near-term limits to mitigation: Challenges arising from contrary mitigation effects from indirect land-use change and sulfur emissions

Calvin, Katherine; Wise, Marshall; Clarke, Leon; … - In: Energy Economics 42 (2014) C, pp. 233-239

We explore the implications of potentially counteractive greenhouse gas mitigation responses to carbon prices and the complications that could ensue for limiting radiative forcing in the near-term. Specifically we consider the problem of reproducing the radiative forcing pathway for...

Biomass feedstock contracts: Role of land quality and yield variability in near term feasibility

Okwo, Adaora; Thomas, Valerie M. - In: Energy Economics 42 (2014) C, pp. 67-80

In the absence of an infrastructure for the harvest, storage and purchase of cellulosic biomass, contracting is an important mechanism through which biorefineries can ensure adequate feedstock supply. We develop an optimization model to assess the economic potential of dedicated energy crops...

The economic effects of the EU biofuel target

Kretschmer, Bettina; Narita, Daiju; Peterson, Sonja - In: Energy Economics 31 (2009) Supplement 2, pp. S285-S294

In this paper we use the CGE model DART to assess the economic impacts and optimality of different aspects of the EU climate package. A special focus is placed on the 10% biofuel target in the EU. In particular we analyze the development in the biofuel sectors, the effects on agricultural...

Who turns the global thermostat and by how much?

Rickels, Wilfried; Quaas, Martin F.; Ricke, Katharine; … - In: Energy Economics 91 (2020)

Increasing attention is being given to the option of engineering the climate via Solar Radiation Management (SRM) as a potential component in future climate policies. We set up a quantitative model to analyze efficient levels of SRM deployment against the climatic and economic background...

Evaluating sub-national building-energy efficiency policy options under uncertainty: Efficient sensitivity testing of alternative climate, technological, and socioeconomic futures in a regional integrated-assessment model

Scott, Michael J.; Daly, Don S.; Zhou, Yuyu; Rice, Jennie S. - In: Energy Economics 43 (2014) C, pp. 22-33

Improving the energy efficiency of building stock, commercial equipment, and household appliances can have a major positive impact on energy use, carbon emissions, and building services. Sub-national regions such as the U.S. states wish to increase energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, or...

Carbon auctions, energy markets & market power: An experimental analysis

Dormady, Noah C. - In: Energy Economics 44 (2014) C, pp. 468-482

This paper provides an experimental analysis of a simultaneous energy-emissions market under conditions of market power. The experimental design employs real-world institutional features; including stochastic demand, permit banking, inter-temporal (multi-round) dynamics, a tightening cap, and...

The demand for road diesel in Canada

Barla, Philippe; Gilbert-Gonthier, Mathieu; Kuelah, … - In: Energy Economics 43 (2014) C, pp. 316-322

In this paper, we estimate the demand for road diesel in Canada using aggregate annual data for the period 1986–2008. Using a partial adjustment model (PAM), we find short and long run price elasticities of −0.43 and −0.8 respectively. However, using cointegration techniques, we obtain...
