  13. Market-mediated environmental impacts of biofuels

    31 Jul 2014 | Publications | Contributor(s): Tom Hertel, Wallace E. Tyner

    This paper surveys the evidence on market-mediated environmental impacts of biofuels, with special attention to the indirect greenhouse gas emissions stemming from land cover change in the wake of increased demand for biofuel feedstocks. We find clear evidence that market mediated land use...

    22 Nov 2017 | Publications | Contributor(s): Frances C. Moore, Uris Lantz C Baldos, Tom Hertel, Delavane Diaz

    Despite substantial advances in climate change impact research in recent years, the scientific basis for damage functions in economic models used to calculate the social cost of carbon (SCC) is either undocumented, difficult to trace, or based on a small number of dated studies. Here we present...
