Economic Impacts of El Niño Southern Oscillation : Evidence from the Colombian Coffee Market

Bastianin, Andrea - 2017

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...

The Economic Impact of Weather and Climate

Tol, Richard S. J. - 2021

I propose a new conceptual framework to disentangle the impacts of weather and climate on economic activity and growth …: A stochastic frontier model with climate in the production frontier and weather shocks as a source of inefficiency. I … in both rich and poor countries; positively in cold countries and negatively in hot ones. Weather anomalies reduce …

The Economic Impacts of Climate Change : Evidence from Agricultural Profits and Random Fluctuations in Weather

Greenstone, Michael; Deschênes, Olivier - 2012

This paper measures the economic impact of climate change on US agricultural land by estimating the effect of the presumably random year-to-year variation in temperature and precipitation on agricultural profits. Using long-run climate change predictions from the Hadley 2 Model, the preferred...

Climate Change Meets Trade in Promoting Green Growth : Potential Conflicts and Synergies

Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2014

To date, border adjustment measures in the form of emissions allowance requirements (EAR) under the U.S. proposed cap-and-trade regime are the most concrete unilateral trade measure put forward to level the carbon playing field. If improperly implemented, such measures could disturb the world...

Multilateral Trade Measures in a Post-2012 Climate Change Regime : What Can Be Taken from the Montreal Protocol and the WTO?

Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2009

The climate-trade nexus gains increasing attention as governments are taking great efforts to forge a post-2012 climate change regime to succeed the Kyoto Protocol. This raises the issues of the scope of trade-related measures and of when and how they could be used. This paper discusses how far...

Technology Transfer in the Non-Traded Sector as a Means to Combat Global Warming

Mukherjee, Vivekananda; Rübbelke, Dirk T. G.; Sanyal, Tilak - 2013

The paper considers a situation where two countries - the North and the South - use a non-traded polluting input to produce the goods for final consumption. The North is more efficient in both, production and abatement processes. The study compares the effects of the transfer of abatement...

Global Climate Change, Technology Transfer and Trade with Complete Specialization

Rübbelke, Dirk T. G.; Mukherjee, Vivekananda - 2014

The paper develops a model in which a country with better technology for abatement of Green House Gas (GHG) emission (the North) commits to an international protocol to keep the global GHG emission within a specified limit while it helps the mitigation effort in the other country (the South)...

Temperature Anomalies, Radiative Forcing and ENSO

Morana, Claudio; Sbrana, Giacomo - 2017

The paper investigates the linkages between temperature anomalies, radiative forcing and ENSO. By means of a new flexible trend modeling approach, we uncover a nonlinear linkage between radiative forcing and global temperature anomalies. The nonlinear trend closely tracks the low frequency...
