Delayed participation of developing countries to climate agreements: should action in the EU and US be postponed?
Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Tavoni, Massimo - 2008
This paper analyses the cost implications for climate policy in developed countries if developing countries are unwilling to adopt measures to reduce their own GHG emissions. First, we assume that a 450 CO2 (550 CO2e) ppmv stabilisation target is to be achieved and that Non Annex1 (NA1)...

Climate change mitigation strategies in fast-growing countries : the benefits of early action
Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Tavoni, Massimo - 2009
This paper builds on the assumption that OECD countries are (or will soon be) taking actions to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. These actions, however, will not be sufficient to control global warming, unless developing countries also get involved in the cooperative effort to reduce GHG...

Advances of climate modelling for policy analysis
Bosello, Francesco; Carraro, Carlo; Kemfert, Claudia - 1998
This paper surveys recent advances in climate models by emphasising how quantitative instruments can answer the main crucial questions addressed by the policymakers involved and therefore aid the formulation of effective global climate policies. The limits of existing models are highlighted and...

What should we expect from innovation? A model-based assessment of the environmental and mitigation cost implications of climate-related R&D
Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Duval, Romain; … - 2010
This paper addresses two basic issues related to technological innovation and climate stabilisation objectives: i) Can innovation policies be effective in stabilising greenhouse gas concentrations? ii) To what extent can innovation policies complement carbon pricing (taxes or permit trading) and...
