    • Climate Change, Mortality, and Adaptation: Evidence from Annual Fluctuations in Weather in the U.S. 

      Deschenes, Olivier; Greenstone, Michael (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2007-08)
      This paper produces the first large-scale estimates of the U.S. health related welfare costs due to climate change. Using the presumably random year-to-year variation in temperature and two state of the art climate models, ...

      We describe several scenarios for economic development and energy use in East Asia based on the MIT Emissions Prediction and Policy Analysis (EPPA) model, a computable general equilibrium model of the world economy. Historic ...

    • Consequences of Considering Carbon/Nitrogen Interactions on the Feedbacks between Climate and the Terrestrial Carbon Cycle 

      Sokolov, Andrei P.; Kicklighter, David W.; Melillo, Jerry M.; Felzer, Benjamin; Schlosser, C. Adam; e.a. (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2007-06)
      A number of observational studies indicate that carbon sequestration by terrestrial ecosystems in a world with an atmosphere richer in carbon dioxide and a warmer climate depends on the interactions between the carbon and ...
