Uncertain Information Structures and Backward Induction
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2014-03-25)
In everyday economic interactions, it is not clear whether sequential choices are visible
or not to other participants: agents might be deluded about opponents'capacity to acquire,interpret or keep track of data, or might ...
Implications of governance structures on urban climate action: evidence from Italy and Spain
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-03-26)
Cities are widely recognised as being pivotal to fight climate change. Cities magnify the drivers of climate change, experience the impacts and also concentrate the highest room for action. Given the 70% of the global ...
New climate scenario framework implementation in the GCAM integrated assessment model
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-08-27)
This report has various objectives: (i) to provide an overview of the climate Integrated Assessment approach; (ii) to describe the Global Climate Assessment Model (GCAM); (iii) to outline the new IPCC scenario framework ...
A dynamic CGE modelling approach for analyzing trade-offs in climate change policy options: the case of Green Climate Fund
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-09-08)
We investigate the trade-offs between economic growth and low carbon targets for developing and developed countries in the period up to 2035. Policy options are evaluated with an original version of the dynamic CGE model ...
The use of “Bonus-Malus” schemes for promoting energy-efficient household appliances: a case study for Spain
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-09-22)
Subsidies to promote the purchase of energy-efficient household appliances have been extensively used in many countries. This paper deals with the case of the Spanish rebate scheme, and proposes the use of both subsidies ...
How are Italian and Spanish cities tackling climate change? A local comparative study
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-03-26)
Cities are widely recognised as being pivotal to fight climate change. They magnify the drivers of climate change, experience the impacts and also concentrate the highest room for action. Although urban areas are broadly ...
Local air pollution and global climate change taxes: a distributional analysis
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-02-17)
Local air pollution and global climate change are two significant environmental problems which are interrelated. Some recent papers examine them together, but most of the relevant literature has focused either on climate ...
Hunting spectro-temporal information in unevenly spaced paleoclimate time series
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-10-24)
Here we present some preliminary results of a statistical–computational implementation to estimate the wavelet spectrum of unevenly spaced paleoclimate time series by means of the Morlet Weighted Wavelet Z-Transform (MWWZ). ...
On the Benefits of Including Age-structure in Harvest Control Rules
(2014-08-27)
This paper explores the benefits of including age-structure in the control rule (HCR) when decision makers regard their (age-structured) models as approximations. We find that introducing age structure into the HCR reduces ...
Countervailing incentives in adverse selection models. A synthesis
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2014-12)
In this paper we propose a simple method of characterizing countervailing incentives in adverse selection problems. The key element in our characterization consists of analyzing properties of the full information
problem. ...
