Luring others into climate action : coalition formation games with threshold and spillover effects

Bosetti, Valentina; Heugues, Melanie; Tavoni, Alessandro - 2015

We study the effect of leadership in an experimental threshold public "bad" game, where we manipulate both the relative returns of two investments (the more productive of which causes a negative externality) and the extent to which the gains from leadership diffuse to the group. The game...

Sensitivity to energy technology costs : a multi-model comparison analysis

Bosetti, Valentina; Marangoni, Giacomo; Borgonovo, Emanuele - 2015

In the present paper we use the output of multiple expert elicitation surveys on the future cost of key low-carbon technologies and use it as input of three Integrated Assessment models, GCAM, MARKAL_US and WITCH. By means of a large set of simulations we aim to assess the implications of these...

Finding common ground when experts disagree : belief dominance over portfolios of alternatives

Baker, Erin; Bosetti, Valentina; Salo, Ahti A. - 2016

We address the problem of choosing a portfolio of policies under "deep uncertainty." We introduce the idea of belief dominance as a way to derive a set of non-dominated portfolios and robust individual alternatives. Our approach departs from the tradition of providing a single recommended...

Terror externalities and trade : an empirical analysis

Bandyopadhyay, Subhayu; Doucouliagos, Chris; Pham, Cong S. - 2019

We report robust evidence of adverse cross-border externalities from terrorism on trade for over 160 countries from 1976 to 2014. Terrorism in one country spills over to reduce trade in neighboring nations. These externalities arise from higher trade costs due to trade delays and macroeconomic...

Optimal clean energy R&D investments under uncertainty

Marangoni, Giacomo; De Maere d'Aertrycke, Gauthier; … - 2017

The availability of technology plays a major role in the feasibility and costs of climate policy. Nonetheless, technological change is highly uncertain and capital intensive, requiring risky efforts in research and development of clean energy technologies. In this paper, we introduce a two-track...
