The Polluter Pays Principle and Cost-Benefit Analysis of Climate Change: An Application of Fund
Tol, Richard S.J. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2006

As estimates of the marginal damage … the positive, dynamic externalities of abatement. Proportional liability shifts abatement effort towards the richer …

Effects of the CDM on Poverty Eradication and Global Climate Protection
Rübbelke, Dirk T.G.; Rive, Nathan - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2008
In an impure public good model we analyze the effects of CDM transfers on poverty as well as on the global climate … for China in which we vary the rate of the CDM transfer. The simulations differ by the assumption of China’s domestic air …

A Good Opening: The Key to Make the Most of Unilateral Climate Action
Bosetti, Valentina; Cian, Enrica De - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
In this paper we argue that when a subgroup of countries cooperate on emission reduction, the optimal response of non-signatory countries reflects the interaction between three potentially opposing factors, the incentive to free-ride on the benefits of cooperation, the incentive to expand the...

How to Measure Carbon Equity: Carbon Gini Index Based on Historical Cumulative Emission Per Capita
Fei, Teng; Jiankun, He; Xunzhang, Pan - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
This paper uses Lorenz Curve and Gini Index with adjustment to per capita historical cumulative emission and constructs Carbon Gini Index to measure inequality in climate change area. The analysis using Carbon Gini Index shows that 70% of carbon space in the atmosphere has been used for unequal...

International Environmental Agreements in the Presence of Adaptation
Marrouch, Walid; Chaudhuri, Amrita Ray - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
We show that adaptive measures undertaken by countries in the face of climate change, apart from directly reducing the damage caused by climate change, may also indirectly mitigate greenhouse gas emissions by increasing the stable size of international agreements on emission reductions....

Energy and Climate Change in China
Carraro, Carlo; Massetti, Emanuele - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
The paper examines future energy and emissions scenarios in China, presenting historical data and scenarios generated using the Integrated Assessment Model WITCH. A Business-as-Usual scenario is compared with four scenarios in which Greenhouse Gases emissions are taxed, at different levels. Key...

Environmental Security and its Implications for China’s Foreign Relations
Mochizuki, Junko; Zhang, ZhongXiang - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
China’s emerging standing in the world demands a major rethinking of its diplomatic strategies. Given its population size, geographical scale, economic power and military presence, China is poised to play a larger political role in the twenty-first century, and is thus perceived by the...

A Tale of Two Countries: Emissions Scenarios for China and India
Massetti, Emanuele - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
The aim of the paper is to present evidence that China and India are, and will remain, two very different actors in international negotiations to control global warming. We base our conclusions on historical data and on scenarios until 2050. The Business-as-Usual scenario (BaU) is compared to...

Optimal Climate Policy for a Pessimistic Social Planner
Valentini, Edilio; Vitale, Paolo - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014
In this paper we characterize the preferences of a pessimistic social planner concerned with the potential costs of extreme, low-probability climate events. This pessimistic attitude is represented by a recursive optimization criterion à la Hansen and Sargent (1995) that introduces...

Energy from Waste: Generation Potential and Mitigation Opportunity
Bosello, Francesco; Campagnolo, Lorenza; Eboli, Fabio; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014
The present research proposes a macroeconomic assessment of the role of waste incineration with energy recovery (WtE) and controlled landfill biogas to electricity generation and their potential contribution to a CO2 emission reduction policy, within a recursive-dynamic computable general...
