MERGE. A model for evaluating regional and global effects of GHG reduction policies
TL;DR: MERGE provides a framework for thinking about climate change management proposals and is designed to be sufficiently flexible to be used to explore alternative views on a wide range of contentious issues, eg costs, damages, valuation and discounting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Valuation of an Amazonian rainforest
TL;DR: Exploitation of non-wood resources would provide profits while conserving Amazon forests as discussed by the authors, yet little is done to promote their development, which is a concern of mine owners.
Journal ArticleDOI
The distributional impact of climate change on rich and poor countries
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the impact of climate change on rich and poor countries across the world and found that poor countries will suffer the bulk of the damages from climate change and argued that the primary reason why poor countries are so vulnerable is their location.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of climate change on global tropical cyclone damage
TL;DR: This article showed that future increases in income are likely to double tropical cyclone damage even without climate change, but the result depends on the parameters of the damage function, and almost all of the tropical cyclones damage from climate change tends to be concentrated in North America, East Asia and the Caribbean-Central American region.
