Brander, Luke M.; Rehdanz, Katrin; Tol, Richard S. J.; … - 2009
Because ocean acidification has only recently been recognised as a problem caused by climate change, impact studies are still rare and estimates of the economic impact are absent. This paper estimates the economic impact of ocean acidification on coral reefs which are generally considered to be...

Counting only the hits? : the risk of underestimating the costs of stringent climate policy
Tavoni, Massimo; Tol, Richard S. J. - 2009
This paper warns against the risk of underestimating the costs -and the uncertainty about the costs- of achieving stringent stabilization targets. We argue that a straightforward review of integrated assessment models results produces biased estimates for the more ambitious climate objectives...

Schelling's conjecture on climate and development : a test
Anthoff, David; Tol, Richard S. J. - 2011
We use the integrated assessment model FUND to compute the income elasticities of climate change impacts for different world regions over time. We find limited support for Schelling's Conjecture that development might be the best defense against climate change impacts, and for the idea that the...
