SUMMARY:Energy Use for Adaptation: State-of-the-art and advancements in Integrated Assessment Modelling
DESCRIPTION:Background\n\n\n\nENERGYA First Scientific Workshop May 3-4\, 2021\nSpace cooling needs will be an increasingly important driver of future energy demand\, but most energy and climate policy scenarios do explicitly represent how the demand for this energy service will respond to climate change. As a consequence\, we have a limited knowledge regarding the potential implications growing space cooling could have on the environment\, the economy as represented by different sectors and different groups of households\, especially in the context of a deeper and accelerating energy transition. \nThis workshop seeks to identify knowledge gaps and delineate directions for further research within a field of research that lies at the intersection between applied and empirical economics and economic modelling or Integrated Assessment Modelling (IAM). \nThe workshop will be articulated in three virtual sessions distributed over two days. In each session\, two short presentations from the ENERGYA team will kick-off the discussion. The discussion will focus on approaches and data requirements for representing cooling and heating needs and dynamics in energy- environment-economic models. Our main hypothesis is that climate change impacts can significantly alter the understanding of the mitigation challenge\, but we still do not know precisely how. \nResearch questions:\n\nHow energy-environment-economic models incorporate decisions regarding the adoption and use of cooling appliances?\nHow can we improve the empirical evidence on the joint decision of adopting and using AC?\nTo what extent the massive use of AC that is projected by several studies could hinder progress towards the reduction of GHG emissions? To what extent the massive use of AC that is projected byseveral studies could create a new type of energy poor?\nHow can we model collective strategies (e.g. urban planning) related thermal comfort decisions?\n\nRead and download the AGENDA\n\nFormat\nEach session will be kicked off by two short presentations by the ENERGYA team that will be challenged by discussants who can present a few slides and start a discussion on some of the issues illustrated within each session. Presentations should introduce the main idea\, explain the methodology and illustrate results and remaining gaps in about 15 minutes. \n\n\n\n\nHOW TO PARTICIPATE\n \nThe Workshop will be broadcasted via Zoom.\nIf you want to attend the Workshop\, please send an email to venice@cmcc.it \n\nORGANIZED BY:\n \nUniversità Ca’Foscari Venezia \nFondazione CMCC – Centro Euro‐Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici \nVERA – Venice centre in Economic and Risk Analytics for public policies \n\n\n\nThis project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 756194. \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series – Peter Christensen
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe Demand for Mobility: Evidence from an Experiment with Uber Riders \nChanges in transport costs can affect mobility in ways that differ across the population\, affecting the impacts of transport policies. We randomly assign large price discounts on Uber in Egypt over a 3-month period and collect comprehensive data on participant mobility using Google Timeline. A 50% price discount quadruples Uber usage and induces a 42% increase in total travel. Effects and welfare gains are larger for women\, who are less mobile at baseline and perceive public transit as unsafe. The price elasticity of private vehicle kilometers traveled (-1.28) implies that mobility and external costs increase substantially when ride-hailing prices fall.

SUMMARY:STEAM+ Venice Local Workshop 1
DESCRIPTION:Aim of the workshop – Background and context\nThe STEAM+ project aims to provide educational policy makers with instruments to prepare new generations for handling the challenges of our time. Europe faces grand challenges which have a STEM subject at their core\, but need knowledge from All other subjects (the extra A) to create STEAM solutions. The STEAM+ project uses transdisciplinary talent programs such as the Collegio Internazionale Ca’ Foscari as laboratories of innovation in higher education (HE). The project planned to run three STEAM+ Innovation Labs where students and teachers from 9 countries co-create solutions for grand challenges. The experience from the Labs and a subsequent series of workshops and policy meetings are meant to be used to create two main products: \nAn instrument on how to establish transdisciplinary talent programs in HE: The STEAM+ Innovation Lab Implementation Path;\nAn instrument for policy makers at HE\, local\, regional\, national and EU levels to support and recognize (or develop) such programs: the STEAM+ Menu for Policy Inspiration. \nThe Collegio Internazionale Ca’ Foscari is responsible for the first STEAM+ Innovation Lab\, which is scheduled for next July 18-23\, 2021 and is limited to the 9 main partners. In line with the aim and the main goals of the STEAM+ project\, this Lab will elaborate on four keywords: transdisciplinarity\, co-creation\, citizen science and marine conservation.\nSpecifically\, the Lab aims at fostering socio-ecological literacy\, contributing to co-creation of knowledge for marine conservation\, and nurturing (citizen scientific) commitment for environmental stewardship. It will focus on marine conservation\, in light of the challenges that the (unique in the world) city of Venice is facing. Finally\, in the perspective of Citizen Science\, the methodological assumption of the Lab is that diversity is a plus!\nIndeed\, the lab will be based on a transdisciplinary and methodologically diverse approach\, also enriched by the cultural heterogeneity of the participants. \nVenice Local Workshop 1 aims at promoting a fruitful discussion with CMCC\, STEAM+ policy partner\, on the methodological approach of the STEAM+ project\, as well as on the organization and core concepts of the Venetian Innovation Lab. Specifically\, we plan to have three short presentations – two focusing on two keywords\, co-creation and citizen science\, and one on the structure of the Lab – followed by an open-discussion session in which\, in addition to collecting suggestions on the Innovation Lab\, could turn around the following possible questions: \n\nWhat keeps Higher Education Institutions –HEI – from changing and introducing more transdisciplinary education\, and what leverage can policy offer\nWhat kind of programs/initiatives are already in place?\nWhich opportunities do you see in your country/institute?\nWhich challenges do you see?\nHow can we together promote such programs\, especially Talent programs? Suggestions for a line of action.\n\nHosted by Collegio Internazionale Ca’ Foscari\, Italy\nKeynote speakers\nAnne Snick (KU Leuven\, Belgium)\nLuca Corazzini (Ca’Foscari University of Venice\, Italy)\nDaniele Brombal (Ca’Foscari University of Venice\, Italy)\nAttendees: CMCC – College STEAM Policy Partner\nInternational College Ca’ Foscari Students and Studies Committee \nAGENDA\nTuesday\, 27th of April\n16.00: Welcome by Luca Corazzini\n16.05: Anne Snick (KU Leuven\, Belgium) – Co-creation and transdisciplinarity: scientific methodologies for the 21st Century\n16.40: Daniele Brombal (Ca’Foscari University of Venice\, Italy) – Citizen Science and Institutional Change\n17.00: (virtual) Coffee break\n17.15: Luca Corazzini (Ca’Foscari University of Venice\, Italy)– Citizen Science for Marine Conservation (Lab#1\, STEAM+)\n17.40: Open discussion\n18:45: Conclusion of the workshop and farewell \nMore info about the Event (PDF file) \nHOW TO PARTICIPATE\nThe workshop is open to CMCC researchers.\nIf you want to attend the Workshop\, please send an email to venice@cmcc.it \nORGANIZED BY:

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series- Meng Kyle
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nWhat induces clean energy transitions? When transitional dynamics exhibit strong path dependence\, a temporary shock to input composition can trigger permanent structural change. I examine whether such dynamics characterize the U.S. electricity sector’s use of coal – the most climate-damaging fuel – across the 20th century. Exploiting local coal supply shocks driven by changing regional accessibility of subsurface coal\, I find increasing imbalance in the coal composition of electricity capital lasting ten decades following a shock. A structural change model enables recovery of a key substitution parameter from reduced-form estimates and explores conditions for triggering sustained future clean energy transitions. \nEstimating Path Dependence in Energy Transitions\nSpeaker: Kyle Meng\, UC Santa Barbara

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC Webinar on “Assessing the Costs and Benefits of Decommissioning US Oil and Gas Wells”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThere are hundreds of thousands of “orphaned” oil and gas wells in the US that have no solvent owner\, emit methane that contributes to global warming\, and pose other environmental and health hazards. However\, there are large uncertainties related to many aspects of this issue\, including the physical location of hundreds of thousands of wells\, the extent of methane emissions and other environmental hazards\, and the costs associated with decommissioning these sites. This presentation will describe those uncertainties\, recent estimates on the costs and benefits of decommissioning wells\, and assess a variety of policy options to reduce future risks. \nSpeaker: Daniel Raimi\, Resources for the Future and Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan.\nModerator: Elena Verdolini\, University of Brescia and RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment\, Italy

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series – Ben Groom
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nInternational initiatives for reducing carbon emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) could make critical\, cost-effective contributions to tropical countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions. Norway\, a key donor of such initiatives\, has a REDD+ partnership with Indonesia\, offering results-based payments in exchange for emissions reductions calculated against a historical baseline. Central to this partnership is an area-based Moratorium on new oil palm\, timber and logging concessions in primary dryland and peat-land forests. We evaluate the effectiveness of the Moratorium between 2011 and 2018 by applying a matched triple difference strategy to a unique panel dataset. Treated dryland forest inside Moratorium areas retain at most\, an average of 0.65% higher forest cover com-pared to untreated dryland forest outside the Moratorium. By contrast\, carbon-rich peatland forest is unaffected by the Moratorium. Cumulative avoided dryland deforestation from 2011until 2018 translates into 61.7-87.1 million tons of emissions reductions\, implying an effective carbon price below Norway’s US$5 per ton price. Based on Norway’s price\, our estimated cumulative emissions reductions are equivalent to a payment of US$308.4-435.6 million. Annually\, our estimates suggest a 3-4 percent contribution to Indonesia’s NDC commitment of a 29% emissions reduction by 2030. As reducing emissions from deforestation is critical for meeting this commitment\, REDD+ outcomes could be improved by expanding the Moratorium and reforming its incentives and institutional arrangements\, particularly in peatland forest areas. \nTitle: Carbon emissions reductions from Indonesia’s REDD+ Moratorium are cost-effective yet contribute little to Paris commitments\nSpeaker: Ben Groom\, University of Exeter and London School of Economics and Political Science\, UK\nModerator: Johannes Emmerling\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment\, Italy

SUMMARY:EIEE-SWEEEP Webinar Series – Hallegatte Stephane
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nWith increasing attention to risks from climate change\, including at the World Bank\, IMF\, and many central banks\, a lot of work is ongoing to include natural disasters and other climate change risks into the models and tools used to design macro-fiscal policies. The objective is to better inform economic\, fiscal\, and monetary policies\, and take climate change into account in debt sustainability and other macroeconomic assessments. However\, macroeconomic models have not been designed to explore the consequences of natural shocks and stressors\, which makes this inclusion far from straightforward. Using examples from a few countries and projects\, this presentation will review a few important considerations and mechanisms that need to be taken into account in macro-fiscal assessments of natural disaster and climate change risks\, and propose solutions to do so. \nSpeaker: Stephane Hallegatte\, World Bank\nModerator: Massimo Tavoni\, Polytechnic University of Milan and RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment \nSWEEEP Webinar Series on “Including natural disasters into macro-fiscal models and analyses” (hosted by RFF-CMCC)

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series on “Public support for air travel restrictions to address COVID-19 or climate change”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nAn improved understanding of public support is essential to design effective and feasible climate policies for aviation. Our motivation is the contrast between high support for air travel restrictions responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and low support for restrictions to combat climate change. Can the same factors explain individuals’ support for restrictive measures across two different problems?Using a survey\, we find that largely the same factors explain support. Support increases with expected effectiveness\, perceived threat and imminence of the problem\, shorter expected duration of the measure\, knowledge\, and trust\, while decreases with expected negative consequences for self and the poor. When controlling for all perceptions\, there is no significant residual difference in support depending on whether the measures address climate change or COVID-19. The level of support differs because COVID-19 is perceived as a more imminent threat\, and because measures are expected to be shorter-lasting and more effective. \nSWEEEP Webinar Series on “Public support for air travel restrictions to address COVID-19 or climate change” (hosted by ETH)\nSpeaker: Steffen Kallbekken\, CICERO

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
