Expectation - Driven Climate Treaties with Breakthrough Technologies *
Recent research has shown that agreements centered on the adoption of breakthrough technologies can break the deadlock in international climate negotiations if the mitigation technology exhibits a network externality that transforms full cooperation into a self-enforcing outcome. This paper shows that the same externality also increases strategic uncertainty about future technology adoption, wh...
متن کاملR&D and Adoption of “Breakthrough” Technologies in a Strategic Climate Change Treaty System
An effective climate change treaty must supply two global public goods: climate change mitigation and knowledge about new technologies that can lower the cost of mitigation. The Kyoto Protocol disregards the second public good and only feigns to promote the first—by establishing short-term emission ceilings for a subset of countries. Basic research is not only needed but should be co-determined...
متن کاملTowards a Breakthrough for Deadlocked Climate Change Negotiations
With the gap between developed and developing nations remaining unclosed, post-Kyoto Protocol negotiations have run into rough waters: Developing countries insist that developed countries be committed to more ambitious targets for the second phase of the Kyoto Protocol and provide large amounts of financial or technological assistance to developing countries, while developed countries propose t...
متن کاملForest environmental investments and implications for climate change mitigation.
Forest environmental conditions are affected by climate change, but investments in forest environmental quality can be used as part of the climate change mitigation strategy. A key question involving the potential use of forests to store more carbon as part of climate change mitigation is the impact of forest investments on the timing and quantity of forest volumes that affect carbon storage. U...
متن کاملEvaluating Investments in Disruptive Technologies
A computer simulation model for the valuation of investments in disruptive technologies is developed. Based on the conceptual framework proposed by Christensen (1997) for explaining the Innovator’s Dilemma phenomenon, an investment project is divided into two sequential phases representing the evolution of the disruptive technology from an emerging to a mainstream market. In each of these phase...
