    • The Economic Impact of Climate Change in the 20th Century 

      TOL, RICHARD S. J. (ESRI, 22/02/2011)
      The national version of FUND3.6 is used to infrapolate the impacts of climate change to the 20th century. Carbon dioxide fertilization of crops and reduced energy demand for heating are the main positive impacts. Climate ...

    • Regional and Sectoral Estimates of the Social Cost of Carbon: An Application of FUND 

      Anthoff, David; Rose, Steven K.; Waldhoff, Stephanie; TOL, RICHARD S. J. (ESRI, 2011)

    • Trade Liberalisation and Climate Change: A CGE Analysis of the Impacts on Global Agriculture 

      Calzadilla, Alvaro; Rehdan, Katrin; TOL, RICHARD S. J. (ESRI, 2011)
      Based on predicted changes in the magnitude and distribution of global precipitation, temperature and river flow under the IPCC SRES A1B and A2 scenarios, this study assesses the potential impacts of climate change and CO2 ...

    • The Uncertainty about the Total Economic Impact of Climate Change 

      TOL, RICHARD S. J. (ESRI, 14/04/2011)
      This paper uses a vote-counting procedure to estimate the probability density function of the total economic impact as a parabolic function of global warming. There is a wide range of uncertainty about the impact of climate ...
