Bridging the energy divide and securing higher collective wellbeing in a climate-constrained world
… derived from regressions using linear log-log models and by calculating the associated carbon emissions based on emission intensities obtained from different climate action scenarios of the integrated assessment model MESSAGE. A proxy measure for human wellbeing is selected from existing …

Bringing economic inequality into coupled economic-environmental models
Coupled economic-environmental models are cross-disciplinary tools that explore how economic activity interacts with the environment and vice versa. This thesis focuses on models that estimate the economic consequences of climate change, different greenhouse gas emissions pathways, and mitigation …

Modelling the impact of policy incentives on CO2 emissions from passenger light duty vehicles in five major economies with a dynamic model of technological change
… vehicles. In this thesis, an innovative model formulation is developed to represent consumer group diversity by capturing different vehicle technologies and engine types. This thesis contributes to the existing literature by modelling and quantifying the impact of different policy …

Modelling the economic implications of coastal managed retreat
… Policy Pathways for implementation. The approach models nine scenarios of climate risk, coastal mitigation and adaptation to assess the economic implications of a large-scale managed retreat for a study area in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand, well known for exposure to a range of coastal hazards. The …

LOW-CARBON TECHNOLOGIES AND CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION POLICY IN AN IMPERFECT WORLD
… This dissertation uses the Global Change Assessment Model (GCAM), a global integrated assessment model to study the relationships between technology and policy in the context of global climate change mitigation under three "imperfect" circumstances, namely, constraints on the rate of …

An integrated assessment of air pollutant abatement opportunities in a computable general equilibrium framework
… collectively react to regulatory constraints. Integrated assessment models have often been used as tools to inform policy design by representing the interactions between technology, economics, policy, and the environment within a self-contained framework. Many contemporary integrated assessment …

Modelling the economic and social consequences of drought under future projections of climate change
… of future anthropogenic climate change. Climate models are increasingly being used to understand how climate change may affect future drought regimes. However, methodologies to quantify the type and scale of social and economic effects that could occur under these future scenarios are virtually …
