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

Tavoni, Massimo; Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo - 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...

Light duty vehicle transportation and global climate policy : the importance of electric drive vehicles

Bosetti, Valentina; Longden, Thomas - 2012

With a focus on establishing whether climate targets can be met under different personal transport scenarios we introduce a transport sector representing the use and profile of light domestic vehicles (LDVs) into the integrated assessment model WITCH. In doing so we develop long term projections...

The role of R&D and technology diffusion in climate change mitigation : new perspectives using the witch model

Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Duval, Romain; … - 2009

This paper uses the WITCH model, a computable general equilibrium model with endogenous technological change, to explore the impact of various climate policies on energy technology choices and the costs of stabilising greenhouse gas concentrations. Current and future expected carbon prices...

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...

Future costs of key low-carbon energy technologies : harmonization and aggregation of energy technology expert elicitation data

Baker, Erin; Bosetti, Valentina; Anadon, Laura Diaz; … - 2015

In this paper we standardize, compare, and aggregate results from thirteen surveys of technology experts, performed over a period of five years using a range of different methodologies, but all aiming at eliciting expert judgment on the future cost of five key energy technologies and how future...

Energy technology expert elicitations for policy : workshops, modeling, and meta-analysis

Anadon, Laura Diaz; Bosetti, Valentina; Chan, Gabriel; … - 2014

Characterizing the future performance of energy technologies can improve the development of energy policies that have net benefits under a broad set of future conditions. In particular, decisions about public investments in research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) that promote...

Facing the experts : survey mode and expert elicitation

Baker, Erin; Bosetti, Valentina; Jenni, Karen E.; … - 2013

-administered web-based survey. Traditional expert elicitation has been done face to face, with an elicitor meeting with an expert for a … elicitation to obtain inputs relevant to a broader set of decisions. To our knowledge, these newer survey-based methods have not … been rigorously evaluated for efficacy. We find, much like the results in the literature on different survey modes …
