    • Effects of the Uncertainty about Global Economic Recovery on Energy Transition and CO2 Price 

      Durand-Lasserve, Olivier; Pierru, Axel; Smeers, Yves (MIT Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research, 2011-03)
      This paper examines the impact that uncertainty over economic growth may have on global energy transition and CO2 prices. We use a general-equilibrium model derived from MERGE, and define several stochastic scenarios for ...

    • Superfund Cleanups and Infant Health
