    • Launching a New Climate Regime 

      Jacoby, H.D.; Chen, Y.-H.H. (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2015-11)
      At the 2015 UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) meeting in Paris, participants in a new international climate agreement will volunteer Nationally Determined Contributions to emissions reductions. To put the ...

    • US Major Crops’ Uncertain Climate Change Risks and Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Benefits 

      Sue Wing, I.; Monier, E.; Stern, A.; Mundra, A. (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2015-10)
      We estimate the costs of climate change to US agriculture, and associated potential benefits of abating greenhouse gas emissions. Five major crops yield responses to climatic variation are modeled empirically, and the ...

    • Capturing Natural Resource Dynamics in Top-Down Energy‑Economic Equilibrium Models 

      Zhang, D.; Karplus, V.; Rausch, S. (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2015-10)
      Top-down energy-economic modeling approaches often use deliberately simple techniques to represent heterogeneous resource inputs to production. We show that for some policies, such as feed-in tariffs (FIT) for renewable ...
