SUMMARY:SWEEEP Seminar Series- Perino Grischa
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nGrischa Perino\, U HamburgUnderstanding overlapping policies: Internal carbon leakage and the punctured waterbed \nWe present an integrated framework to understand the emissions impact of unilateral overlapping policies within a carbon-pricing system. “Internal carbon leakage” captures emissions displacement within the system (e.g.\, due to greater product imports from a neighbouring country). The waterbed effect captures the policy’s interaction with the system’s overall emissions cap. Current market rules in the reformed EU ETS\, California’s carbon market and RGGI feature “punctured” waterbeds that allow overlapping policies to affect aggregate emissions. We present simple formulae to estimate internal carbon leakage for different types of policy such as a carbon price floor (perhaps with a border tax adjustment)\, an energy efficiency program\, and renewables support. The sign and magnitude of the climate benefit from an overlapping policy varies widely depending on its design\, location and timing. Punctured waterbeds raise the stakes: well-designed overlapping policies can be much more climate-effective but others now backfire.

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC-NAVIGATE Webinar Nico Bauer
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe Paris Agreement calls for a cooperative response with the aim of limiting global warming to well below two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels while reaffirming the principles of equity and common\, but differentiated responsibilities and capabilities1. Although the goal is clear\, the approach required to achieve it is not. Cap-and-trade policies using uniform carbon prices could produce cost-effective reductions of global carbon emissions\, but tend to impose relatively high mitigation costs on developing and emerging economies. Huge international financial transfers are required to complement cap-and-trade to achieve equal sharing of effort\, defined as an equal distribution of mitigation costs as a share of income2\,3\, and therefore the cap-and-trade policy is often perceived as infringing on national sovereignty2\,3\,4\,5\,6\,7. Here we show that a strategy of international financial transfers guided by moderate deviations from uniform carbon pricing could achieve the goal without straining either the economies or sovereignty of nations. We use the integrated assessment model REMIND–MAgPIE to analyse alternative policies: financial transfers in uniform carbon pricing systems\, differentiated carbon pricing in the absence of financial transfers\, or a hybrid combining financial transfers and differentiated carbon prices. Under uniform carbon prices\, a present value of international financial transfers of 4.4 trillion US dollars over the next 80 years to 2100 would be required to equalize effort. By contrast\, achieving equal effort without financial transfers requires carbon prices in advanced countries to exceed those in developing countries by a factor of more than 100\, leading to efficiency losses of 2.6 trillion US dollars. Hybrid solutions reveal a strongly nonlinear trade-off between cost efficiency and sovereignty: moderate deviations from uniform carbon prices strongly reduce financial transfers at relatively small efficiency losses and moderate financial transfers substantially reduce inefficiencies by narrowing the carbon price spread. We also identify risks and adverse consequences of carbon price differentiation due to market distortions that can undermine environmental sustainability targets8\,9. Quantifying the advantages and risks of carbon price differentiation provides insight into climate and sector-specific policy mixes. \nSpeakers: Nico Bauer\, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK)\, Member of the Leibniz Association\, Potsdam\, Germany \nDiscussant: Ulrike Kornek\, Kiel University (CAU)\, Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC)\, Germany \nModerator: Johannes Emmerling\, RFF‐CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Centro Euro‐Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici\, Italy

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC-NAVIGATE Webinar – Round table
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nImpacts of COVID-19 and recovery packages on climate change mitigation action \nThe rapid and ongoing spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to societal lockdowns and unprecedented policy measures in most countries around the world. These COVID-19 response measures have resulted in a multifaceted shock on the world economy pushing many countries into a deep recession and affecting both supply and demand.\nThe key question is whether and how the COVID-19 shock will affect emissions and climate change mitigation efforts in the longer term. Researchers in the NAVIGATE project are currently investigating the implications of COVID-19 and recovery packages on climate change mitigation action\, mainly focusing on three categories of impacts that have the potential to substantially influence climate policy developments: Macro-economic impacts\, impacts on demand and lifestyles and impacts on inequality. In this webinar\, the researchers will present concepts and first results of their analyses. \nRound table\nMarina Andrijevic\, Climate Analytics\nJohannes Emmerling\, RFF-CMCC\nPanagiotis Fragkos\, E3M\nJean Francois Mercure\, University of Exeter\nBas van Ruijven\, IIASA\nCharlie Wilson\, University of East Anglia (UEA)\nModerator: Jessica Strefler\, (PIK) \n

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series – Andrè Albuquerque Sant’Anna
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nWednesday\, 16 December 2020\, 3.00-4.00 PM CETTitle: Winds of Fire and Smoke: Air Pollution and Health in the Brazilian Amazon \nIn this paper we assess the effects of fire-related smoke on population health in the Brazilian Amazon. Our empirical strategy is based on a municipality-by-month fixed effects model\, coupled with an instrumental variables approach that explores wind direction and smoke in surrounding areas in order to exogenously shift exposure to smoke at the locality. We find that exposure to smoke\, measured by PM2.5 concentration levels\, is robustly associated with an increase in hospital admissions for respiratory conditions. The effects are higher among children and the elderly\, and increase non-linearly with pollution levels. Our benchmark estimates indicate that an increase of one standard deviation in PM2.5 is related to an increase of 1.5% of the monthly hospitalization rate for respiratory conditions. The latter estimate reaches 14% if monthly average PM2.5 crosses thresholds as high as 75µg/m3 . We do not observe significant effects on hospitalization rates related to other health conditions nor on mortality rates. \nSpeaker: Andrè Albuquerque Sant’Anna\, Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) and Universidade Federal Fluminense

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series – Francis Dennig
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nExisting estimates of optimal climate policy ignore the possibility that the revenues from a carbon tax could be used in a progressive way; as a result\, these models imply that near-term climate action must come at some cost to the poor. Here we show that this storyline reverses when progressive revenue recycling is taken into account. We find that an equal per capita refund of carbon tax revenues implies that a 2°C target can pay large and immediate dividends for improving wellbeing\, reducing inequality\, and alleviating poverty. In an optimal policy calculation (without a pre-specified temperature constraint) that weighs the benefits against the costs of mitigation\, the recommended policy is characterized by aggressive near-term climate action followed by a slower climb towards full decarbonization; this pattern prevents runaway warming while also preserving tax revenues for redistribution. Our approach corrects a long-standing bias against strong immediate climate action. \nWednesday\, 25 November 2020\, 3.00-4.00 PM CET\nTitle: Progressive revenue recycling of carbon taxes can alleviate poverty while avoiding dangerous climate change\nSpeaker: Francis Dennig\, Yale-NUS College\, Singapore\nModerator: Johannes Emmerling\, RFF‐CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Centro Euro‐Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici\, Italy

SUMMARY:RFF – CMCC – NAVIGATE Webinar – Nicolas Taconet
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nWhat is the prospect for future inequality between countries under climate change? In addition to socioeconomic evolution regarding demography\, education\, and technology progress\, climate change will affect future inequality. Climate damage hit disproportionately poorest countries\, while mitigation costs will be unevenly distributed. Analysis of scenarios accounting for these effects of climate change under different emission pathways reveals that climate impacts will reverse observed declining inequality trend under the strongest damage estimates. Even under low damage estimates\,  this situation occurs in some scenarios. Thus\, mitigation of climate change can be key to limiting future inequality\, provided that mitigation costs do not fall on the poorest countries. \nSpeaker: Nicolas Taconet\, Centre International de Recherche sur l’Environnement et le Développemen (CIRED)\, France\nModerator: Laurent Drouet\, RFF‐CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Centro Euro‐Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici\, Italy

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series – Ashley Langer
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nWednesday\, 11 November 2020\, 3.00-4.00 PM CETTitle: Energy Transitions in Regulated Markets \nRegulated U.S. electricity markets have transitioned from coal to natural gas more slowly than restructured markets. This contrasts with the predictions from canonical models of regulation that regulated utilities would over-invest in new capital because they are allowed a fair rate of return on capital. In addition\, observers have alleged that regulated utilities are operating coal plants even when this is inefficient because they are subject to a “used and useful” standard the only allows them a return on power plants that they use sufficiently. We develop and estimate a dynamic model of energy transitions in regulated electricity markets that can explain these stylized facts. In our model\, regulators reimburse utilities for the use of productive assets\, while aiming to keep electric rates low by limiting returns on capital when prices to electricity consumers are high. In the short-run\, utilities make hourly dispatch decisions to maximize profits given incentives set up by the regulatory structure. This regulatory structure provides two opposite incentives: utilities will overuse expensive coal plants to meet the used and useful standard but this overuse will be constrained to the extent that it results in high electricity prices. In the long-run\, utilities decide which plants to retire and in which new technologies to invest. We show that regulation slowed the energy transition from coal to natural gas\, and that it may have important consequences for the transition to renewable electricity generation. \nSpeaker: Ashley Langer\, U Arizona

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series – Erica Myers
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nMandatory disclosure policies are implemented broadly despite sparse evidence that they improve market outcomes. We study the effects of requiring home sellers to provide buyers with certified audits of residential energy efficiency. Using similar nearby homes as a comparison group\, we find this requirement increases price premiums for energy efficiency and encourages energy-saving investments. We additionally present evidence highlighting the market failure – incomplete information by both buyers and sellers – that prevents widespread voluntary disclosure of energy efficiency in housing transactions. Our findings support that disclosure policies can improve market outcomes in settings with symmetrically incomplete information. \nWednesday\, 28 October 2020\, 3.00-4.00 PM CET\nTitle: Mandatory Energy Efficiency Disclosure in Housing Markets\nSpeaker: Erica Myers\, U Illinois Urbana-Champaign

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series – Linus Mattauch
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nTransport has a large number of significant externalities including carbon emissions\, air pollution\, accidents and congestion. Increased active travel such as cycling and walking can reduce these externalities. Moreover\, public health research has identified large additional social gains from active travel due to health benefits of increased physical exercise. We introduce health benefits and active travel options into a model of transport externalities to study appropriate policy responses. We characterise the optimal second-best fuel tax analytically: when physical exercise is considered welfare-enhancing\, the optimal fuel tax increases. Under our central assumptions\, the increase is 34% in the US and 38% in the UK when health benefits from physical exercise are included. We argue that fuel taxes should be implemented jointly with other policies aimed at increasing the uptake of active travel to reap the full health benefits. \nWednesday\, 21 October 2020\, 3.00-4.00 PM CET\nTitle: Optimal fuel taxation with suboptimal health choices\nSpeaker: Linus Mattauch\, U Oxford

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series – Frances Moore
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nClimate change is damaging ecosystems throughout the world with serious implications for human well-being. Quantifying the benefits of reducing emissions requires understanding these costs but the unique and non-market nature of many goods provided by natural systems makes them difficult to value. Detailed representation of ecological damages in models used to calculate the costs of greenhouse gas emissions has been largely lacking. Here we include natural capital as a form of wealth in a cost-benefit integrated assessment model and show that accounting for the use and non-use value of nature has large implications for climate policy. In our model\, optimal emissions reach zero at the year 2050\, limiting warming to 1.5◦C by the end of the century\, substantially lower than the standard model\, which approaches 3°C by 2100. We show that the cost of climate change could be alleviated by investments in natural capital and that capturing the effect of climate change on natural systems and the welfare effects of these changes should be a high priority for future research. \nWednesday\, 14 October 2020\, 3.00-4.00 PM CET\nTitle: Use and Non-Use Value of Nature and the Social Cost of Carbon\nSpeaker: Frances Moore\, UC Davis\, Bernie Bastien\nModerator: Massimo Tavoni

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series – Simon Dietz
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nWe show that economic models of climate change produce climate dynamics inconsistent with current climate science models: (i) the delay between CO2 emissions and warming is much too long and (ii) positive carbon cycle feedbacks are mostly absent. These inconsistencies lead to biased economic policy advice. Controlling for how the economy is represented\, different climate models result in significantly different optimal CO2 emissions. A long delay between emissions and warming leads to optimal carbon prices that are too low and attaches too much importance to the discount rate. Similarly\, we find that omitting positive carbon cycle feedbacks leads to optimal carbon prices that are too low. We conclude it is important for policy purposes to bring economic models in line with the state of the art in climate science and we make practical suggestions for how to do so. \nWednesday\, 30 September 2020\, 3.00-4.00 PM CET\nTitle: Are economists getting climate dynamics right and does it matter?\nSpeaker: Simon Dietz\, London School of Economics

SUMMARY:Why we need a carbon tax – William Nordhaus
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nRaising prices through a carbon tax\, is a far more effective and efficient way to lower carbon emissions than direct government controls on the quantity of emissions through\, say\, regulatory limits on cars and power plants. Higher prices will encourage firms and consumers to find alternatives to carbon-based products as well as encourage new technologies that will make those substitutes competitive. Can the proceeds be used to compensate low income families hit particularly hard by the taxes? \nThe event in the programme can be watched live on the date and at the time (Italian local time) shown on the website www.festivaleconomia.it\, with live Facebook videos also provided for in some cases. We also invite you to follow the Facebook page of the Festival of Economics\, where the events to be broadcast live will be listed.\nAll the recordings of the events will be available on the website from the day after the live broadcast.

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series – Catherine Hausmann
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nResearch spanning several disciplines has repeatedly documented disproportionate pollution exposure among the poor and communities of color. Among the various proposed causes of this pattern\, those that have received the most attention are income inequality\, discrimination\, and firm costs (of inputs and regulatory compliance). We argue that an additional channel – information – is likely to play an important role in generating disparities in pollution exposure. We present multiple reasons for a tendency to underestimate pollution burdens\, as well as empirical evidence that this underestimation can disproportionately affect low-income households. Using a model of housing choice\, we then derive conditions under which “hidden” pollution leads to an inequality – even when all households face the same lack of information. This inequality arises because households sort according to known pollution and other disamenities\, which we show are positively correlated with hidden pollution. To help bridge the gap between environmental justice and economics\, we discuss the relationship between hidden information and three different distributional measures: exposure to pollution; exposure to hidden pollution; and welfare loss due to hidden pollution. \nWednesday\, 23 September 2020\, 3.00-4.00 PM CET\nTitle: Inequality\, information failures and air pollution\nSpeaker: Catherine Hausmann\, University of Michigan

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series – Robyn Meeks
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nPoor service quality and theft are challenges common to the electricity sector in developing countries. Smart meters provide additional information to both consumers and utilities\, potentially mitigating these challenges. In a randomized experiment in Kyrgyzstan\, smart meters replaced houses’ old meters. Post-intervention electricity service quality was significantly better among the treatment group relative to the control group. Consumers’ returns to electricity quality improvements were substantial. Treated households’ peak electricity consumption and expenditures on electric appliances increased\, consistent with an improvement in consumer welfare. The utility benefits from the meters\, via increased billed consumption and bill payment\, albeit less than consumers do. \nWednesday\, 16 September 2020\, 3.00-4.00 PM CET\nTitle: Enforcement in service delivery: Smart meters and the returns to electricity quality improvements\nSpeaker: Robyn Meeks\, Duke University

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC-NAVIGATE Webinar The cost and uncertainty of climate mitigation
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe costs of climate policy are uncertain and depend on a wide range of factors\, including uncertainties in socio-economic and technology development but also in the climate system. In the presentation\, Detlef van Vuuren will illustrate the role of different uncertainties based on a metamodel from climate and integrated assessment models. Calibrating the meta-model to the model-based literature range allows it to go beyond the parametric uncertainty of individual models. The resulting median estimates for the cumulative abatement costs (at 5% discount rate) for 2 °C and 1.5 °C targets are around US$15 trillion and US$30 trillion\, but estimates vary over a wide range (US$10–100 trillion for the 1.5 °C target). Interestingly\, the sources determining this uncertainty depend on the climate target stringency. Climate system uncertainty dominates at high warming levels\, but uncertainty in emissions reductions costs dominates for the Paris Agreement targets. In fact\, costs differences between different socio-economic development paths can be larger than the difference in median estimates for the 2 °C and 1.5 °C targets. Developing simple metamodels in addition to more complex process-based models may help to explore implications of scenario uncertainty and identify research priorities. \nSpeaker: Detlef van Vuuren\, PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development\, Utrecht University\, the Netherlands\nDiscussant: Evelina Trutnevyte\, Renewable Energy Systems group\, University of Geneva\, Switzerland\nModerator: Johannes Emmerling\, RFF‐CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Centro Euro‐Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici\, Italy

SUMMARY:Air Quality Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic: A View from Two Epicenters
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nPlease join Resources for the Future (RFF) on Thursday\, July 9\, for a webinar in our Resources Radio Live series\, featuring Dr. Valentina Bosetti. She will discuss her team’s research on how various lockdown measures affected air quality in China and Italy early in the COVID-19 pandemic\, as well as how pollution levels have rebounded over time.\nDr. Bosetti is a professor in the department of economics at Bocconi University and senior scientist at the RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment.\nThe COVID-19 pandemic has radically altered lives across the globe—and has had a number of dramatic effects on typical patterns of movement\, consumption\, and pollution. Even as the medical community has sprung into action to address the public health impacts of the pandemic—and policymakers seek ways to address the economic consequences—other researchers like Dr. Bosetti are beginning to understand the many ways in which the past few months have affected a range of energy and environmental considerations. \nSpeakers\nValentina Bosetti\, Bocconi University\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment\nKristin Hayes\, Resources for the Future (Resources Radio host) \nhttps://www.rff.org/events/webinars/air-quality-impacts-covid-19-pandemic-view-two-epicenters/

SUMMARY:Fostering green finance for a climate-resilient post-COVID-19 recovery
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe COVID-19 crisis can be seen as a wake-up call for our social and financial system to be better prepared for the long-term climate crisis. Today’s financial interventions\, while addressing the short-term health and economic urgencies linked to the pandemic\, must think about the chronic climate crisis to design a resilient and green recovery. Forgetting of the global climate emergency in such a crucial moment for financial investments would mean to lose the opportunity to reverse the previous pattern\, locking us into long-term unsustainable investments and moving the world away from the possibility to meet the Paris Agreement’s goals. \nModerator\nMassimo Tavoni\, Director\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE) and Professor\, Politecnico di Milano \nPanelists\nBarbara Buchner\, Global Managing Director and Executive Director\, Climate Finance\, Climate Policy Initiative\nIvan Faiella\, Senior Economist\, Banca d’Italia\nSara Lovisolo\, Group Sustainability Manager\, London Stock Exchange Group

SUMMARY:The impacts of the COVID-19 lockdown on air pollution in Lombardia
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nAccording to economics and medical science literature\, health issues are connected to airborne pollutants. However\, the complex natural processes underlying this phenomenon are often a drawback for policymakers in designing and implementing interventions aimed at reducing air pollution in urban areas (e.g. traffic restrictions). The complete lockdown which followed the COVID-19 outburst in Italy – during which both people movements and the economy were almost frozen – provides a unique natural experiment to assess the relations existing between local air pollution and different emission sources. This study used machine learning methods to estimate the change in concentrations for major pollutants induced by the lockdown in Lombardy and shows that the lockdown reduced concentrations of nitrogen oxides (NOx)\, but not fine particulate matter (PM 2.5). This is consistent with the reduction in road traffic\, but small changes in emission from building heating. Authors then computed the estimated life-years saved due to the improved air quality. \nSpeaker: Francesco Granella\, RFF-CMCC\, European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\nDiscussant: Guido Lanzani\, ARPA Lombardia\nModerator: Lara Aleluia\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC-EDF Policy Session: Policies to support workers and communities in the transition to clean energy economies in the US and the EU
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nA Semi-plenary – Joint RFF-CMCC-EDF Policy Session on “Policies to support workers and communities in the transition to clean energy economies in the US and the EU“. \nThis policy session will promote debate and exchange about the crucial challenges of pursuing an equitable clean energy transition for workers and fossil-fuel dependent communities. Indeed\, the clean energy transition does not just pose technological and scientific challenges\, but also specific socio-economic challenges for “coal and carbon-intensive regions” (i.e. still heavily dependent on fossil-fuel-based industries or extraction). Any ambitious climate policy will further reduce fossil fuel use\, with substantial employment and income impacts in communities where coal\, oil\, gas\, or certain manufacturing activities dominate the economy. Importantly\, many of these regions have already experienced the consequences of deindustrialization and economic dislocation in recent decades. \nPanelists will discuss what effects the transition towards clean energy economies have had/may have on livelihoods and the sustainability of local and regional economies; the will highlight the methodological challenges associated with identify policies and instruments that have been implemented (and could potentially be implemented) to overcome negative effects and capitalize on positive ones; they will illustrate different methodological approaches to achieving a deeper understanding of these issues and promote the design of effective policies to support workers and communities in the transition to clean energy economies. The session will promote a dialogue between academics\, including but not limited to environmental economists\, and other stakeholders involved with workers\, industry and policy making. \nOrganizer\nElena Verdolini\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, the Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC)\nWesley Look\, Resources for the Future (RFF)\nSusanne Brooks\, Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) \nChair\nElena Verdolini\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE) \nPanelists\nHanna Brauers\, University of Technology Berlin\nSusanne Brooks\, Environmental Defense Fund (EDF)\nMarion Dumas\, Grantham Research Institute\, LSE\nWesley Look\, Resources for the Future (RFF)\nFélix Mailleux\, European Trade Union Confederation\nJan Witajewski\, University of Warsaw \nPlease log in before to http://www.fleximeets.com/eaere2020/?p=programme\nRoom : https://tu-berlin.zoom.us/j/97035126084?pwd=K05qSnBnM0NBbHZLSUVCQ3h5bXBIUT09\nWebinar ID: 970 3512 6084\nPassword: 325886

In this paper we investigate what it takes for such transition to happen and what is the socially optimal pathway from brown to green economy. We identify endogenous technological change as a central driver of such transition and modify a well-known integrated assessment model (DICE) to include learning-by-doing effect\, in parallel with R&D and education investment. Our results indicate that endogenous technological change can rise abatement rate substantially by bringing down the mitigation cost through learning-by-doing. We show that the green transition requires substantial investment in renewable energy infrastructure and human capital development which in turn reduces greenhouse gas emissions and constrains warming by about 1 degree C lower than the original DICE results.

SUMMARY:DICE at the (almost) country level: Growth impacts and inequality in RICE+
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nTwo important economic channels of climate change impacts have been at the core of the recent scientific debate on the economics of climate change: growth impacts and the role of inequality. Here\, we extend the most well-known IAM DICE-2016 by calibrating it at the (almost) country level with more than 50 regions using actual mitigation cost data\, and implement country level growth impacts based on the estimates of Burke et al. [2015]\, Dell et al. [2012]\, Kahn et al. [2019]. The Results in indicate that the country dimension matters and with appropriate inequality aversion specifications\, the 1.5 degree target of the Paris agreement become the optimal temperature in a CBA setting. Moreover\, the distribution across countries shows a significant deterioration of inequality due to country level growth impacts across countries\, which is partly mitigated by climate mitigation.

SUMMARY:The Effects of Dust Storms on Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nDust storms are a common occurrence for populations residing in semi-arid environments and can result in a variety of immediate and long-term impacts. While previous literature documents many of these short-term e ects\, such as increases in various respiratory issues (e.g. asthma attacks\, su ffocation) and increases in traffic accidents (resulting from disrupted transportation networks)\, this is the first study to use exogenous variation in dust exposure due to long-range transport to study the effects of dust storms on health and economic activity. I instrument local dust values using dust observed over the Bod el e Depression of the Sahara Desert\, the largest dust source in the world. Economic growth in West Africa is reduced by 3% per standard deviation increase in dust exposure over 2 years. Agricultural yields decline in the year of impact on average by 2%. The effects found here could be a contributing factor to reduced economic development in West Africa\, and indicate that dust storms should be considered an important part of geographic endowments alongside other climate indicators.

SUMMARY:The benefits of international collaboration on energy innovation in South Korea
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nEnergy innovation is essential to shifting from a high-carbon economy to a low-carbon economy to address climate change. Among other determinants (technology-push and demand-push factors)\, collaboration plays a crucial role in stimulating energy innovation. However\, the role of collaboration types in low-carbon technology innovation is relatively underexplored. To examine this relationship\, we investigated the effects of the importance of domestic and international collaboration in low-carbon technology patenting in South Korea from 2000 to 2013. We employed a count model with panel (technology and year) fixed effects to estimate the importance of collaboration to low-carbon technology patenting. In general\, we found that collaboration is an important factor in driving low-carbon technology patenting in Korea. In particular\, we found that international collaboration was of significant importance to lagging low-carbon technology fields. The technology-specific panel regression shows that Korean inventors anticipate potential knowledge diffusion from inventors in other countries. In sum\, the Korean government should expand its international collaboration efforts as there is clear evidence of the importance of international collaboration to low-carbon technology change in areas of reduced technological capability.
