Models (IAMs), which assumes no risk sharing across region, we introduce global risk sharing via a market for state … across regions. We estimate that such risk sharing scheme of climate risks could lead to welfare gains reducing the global … for considering risk sharing in IAMs, but also for potentially welfare increasing negotiations about sharing risks of …

Policies aimed at reducing emissions from fossil fuels may increase climate damages. This 'Green Paradox' emerges if resource owners increase near-term extraction in fear of stricter future policy measures. Hans-Werner Sinn (2008) showed that the paradox occurs when increasing resource taxes are...

China has realized that for its own sake and from the international community's perspective, it cannot afford to continue along the conventional path of encouraging economic growth at the expense of the environment. Accordingly, the country has placed ecological goals at the same level of...

We study whether climate transition risk is reflected in the credit default swap (CDS) spreads of firms. Using … risk (CTR) factor, and document how this factor shifts the term structure of the CDS spreads of more vulnerable firms but … that they have asymmetric and significant economic impacts on the credit risk of more vulnerable firms, and negligible …

We develop a structural econometric model to study the impacts of El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on Colombian coffee production, exports and price. Our empirical specification is consistent with an economic model of the coffee market that, in the short-run, is characterized by a...

Bayesian networks (BNs) have been increasingly applied to support management and decision-making processes under conditions of environmental variability and uncertainty, providing logical and holistic reasoning in complex systems since they succinctly and effectively translate causal assertions...

Climate Engineering, and in particular Solar Radiation Management (SRM) has become a widely discussed climate policy option to study in recent years. However, its potentially strategic nature and unforeseen side effects provide major policy and scientific challenges. We study the role of the SRM...

Uncertainty plays a key role in the economics of climate change, and the discussions surrounding its implications for climate policy are far from settled. We give an overview of the literature on uncertainty in integrated assessment models of climate change and identify some future research...
