The desirability of transitions in demand: Incorporating behavioural and societal transformations into energy modelling
(Energy Research and Social Science, 2020)Quantitative systems modelling in support of climate policy has tended to focus more on the supply side in assessing interactions among technology, economy, environment, policy and society. By contrast, the demand side is ... -
The Determinants of Energy Efficiency Investments in the U.S.
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-11-08)This paper analyses decisions on energy efficiency (EE) investments by small and medium manufacturing enterprises in the U.S. which have received assessment from the Department of Energy (DoE). The results confirm the ... -
The DICER Model: Methodological Issues and Initial Results
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-09-14)This paper introduces DICER, a model for the integrated assessment of climate – economy interactions within an optimal growth framework developed based on the structure of the DICE2007 model. We present the methodological ... -
The Economic Impacts of Biodiversity Policy for Improving the Climate Regulating Services Provided by EU Natura 2000 Habitats
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2012-10)We adopted the state-of-the-art methodologies to quantify the total carbon stocked by Natura 2000 habitats as well as to project the future changes of carbon stocks influenced by alternative policy options for the management ... -
THE ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS of TIED AID and LOCAL CONTENT REQUIREMENTS for CLIMATE FINANCE
(Climate Change Economics, 2020)The Paris Agreement states that from 2020 developed countries will mobilize at least USD 100 billion per year to support climate action in developing countries. The attainment of this objective involves decisions by donor ... -
The economics of climate change adptation and decision-making in cities: Barriers and opportunities across scales.
(2020-06-04)A lo largo de cinco capítulos, esta tesis explora algunas de las cuestiones críticas entorno a la economíade la adaptación al cambio climático y a la toma de decisiones en ciudades. El Capítulo 2 explora estudios previos ... -
The economics of climate finance
(2017-04-24)En el Acuerdo de Copenhague (2009), los países de desarrollados se comprometieron a movilizar 100.000 millones de dólares anuales para apoyar la acción climática en los países en desarrollo a partir de 2020. Desde entonces, ... -
The economics of hydro-meteorological disasters: approaching the estimation of the total costs
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-08-28)Hydro-meteorological disasters have caused increasing losses in recent years. Efficient risk reduction policies require accurate assessment approaches, with careful consideration of costs, beyond direct tangible costs, ... -
The ecosystem carbon sink implications of mountain forest expansion into abandoned grazing land: The role of subsoil and climatic factors
(Elsevier, 2019)Woody encroachment is a widespread phenomenon resulting from the abandonment of mountain agricultural and pastoral practices during the last century. As a result, forests have expanded, increasing biomass and necromass ... -
The effect of area based urban regeneration policies on fuel poverty: Evidence from a natural experiment in Northern Ireland
(Elsevier, 2018)This paper studies the effect of the most extensive area based regeneration policy in Northern Ireland Neighbourhood Renewal (NR) on fuel poverty using a natural experiment approach. NR was launched in 2003 in Northern ... -
The Effect of Providing Monetary Information on Energy Savings for Household Appliances: A Field Trial in Spain
(Journal of Consumer Policy, 2021-06-01)Energy labels are one of the most widely used policies in the European Union for increasing the energy efficiency of household appliances. However, their effectiveness in promoting energy-efficient purchases has sometimes ... -
The Effect of Tree Decline Over Soil Microclimate Largely Controls Soil Respiration Dynamics in a Mediterranean Woodland
(Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2022)As drought-induced tree defoliation and mortality (i.e. tree decline) in the Mediterranean is expected to worsen with ongoing climate change, it is of paramount importance to understand how, why, and when tree decline ... -
The effect of tree decline over soil water content largely controls soil respiration dynamics in a Mediterranean woodland
(Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2023)As drought-induced tree defoliation and mortality (i.e. tree decline) in the Mediterranean is expected to worsen with ongoing climate change, it is of paramount importance to understand how, why, and when tree decline ... -

Arto Olaizola, Ignacio; Capellán Pérez, Iñigo; Lago Aurrecoechea, Rosa María
; Bueno Mendieta, Gorka ; Bermejo Gómez de Segura, Roberto Juan (Elsevier, 2016-08)
Through history, special attention has been paid to the study of the relationship between the energy use of a country and its level of development. While the interest of this research area is unquestionable, the energy ... -
The Equivalency Principle for Discounting the Value of Natural Assets: An Application to an Investment Project in the Basque Coast
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2011-10-10)Making decisions about optimal investments in green infrastructure necessitates setting social discount rates. This paper suggests a practical way for determining the discount rate for projects or programmes in which one ... -
The fate of carbon in a mature forest under carbon dioxide enrichment
(Springer Nature, 2020)Atmospheric carbon dioxide enrichment (eCO2) can enhance plant carbon uptake and growth1 5, thereby providing an important negative feedback to climate change by slowing the rate of increase of the atmospheric CO2 ... -
The future of agriculture and food: Evaluating the holistic costs and benefits
(SAGE, 2019)Inadequacies of the current agriculture and food systems are recognised globally in the form of damages to environment and human health. In addition, the prevailing economic and policy systems do not reflect these damages ... -
The global environmental agenda urgently needs a semantic web of knowledge
(Environmental Evidence, 2022)Progress in key social-ecological challenges of the global environmental agenda (e.g., climate change, biodiversity conservation, Sustainable Development Goals) is hampered by a lack of integration and synthesis of existing ... -
The Green Paradox and Learning-by-doing in the Renewable Energy Sector
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-04-04)We investigate the effect of climate policies on fossil fuel use in the presence of a clean alternative technology that exhibits learning-by-doing. In a two-period framework, the costs of clean and regenerative energy in ... -
