A Comment on the Copenhagen Accord- Feasibility and Cost
Glomsrød, Solveig; Wei, Taoyuan; Alfsen, Knut H. (2011:03, Working paper, 2011)The Copenhagen Accord has been followed up by national pledges of greenhouse gas emissions reductions in the year 2020 without specifying measures to enforce actions. As a consequence, the capacity of parties to fulfil ... -
A general equilibrium view of global rebound effects
Wei, Taoyuan (2009:02, Working paper, 2009)How do energy efficiency gains affect energy consumption? The effects are generally called "rebound effects" in the literature. Previous studies have extensively focused on only part of the global economy to study rebound ... -

Aaheim, H. Asbjørn; Amundsen, Helene; Dokken, Therese; Ericson, Torgeir; Wei, Taoyuan (2009:06, Research report, 2009) -
A warmer policy for a colder climate: Can China both reduce poverty and cap carbon emissions?
Glomsrød, Solveig; Wei, Taoyuan; Aamaas, Borgar; Lund, Marianne Tronstad; Samset, Bjørn Hallvard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Reducing global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is often thought to be at odds with economic growth and poverty reduction. Using an integrated assessment modeling approach, we find that China can cap CO2 emissions at 2015 ... -
An economic evaluation of solar radiation management
Aaheim, H. Asbjørn; Romstad, Bård; Wei, Taoyuan; Kristjansson, Jon Egill; Muri, Helene; Niemeier, Ulrike; Schmidt, Hauke (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015) -
Assessment of the optimal rebound effects from energy intensity reduction
Xing, Lirong; Wei, Taoyuan; Zhuo, Yanchen; Li, Guozhi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Energy efficiency improvement is widely recognized as a cost-effective measure for clean production. In literature, the rebound effects of energy efficiency improvement represented by energy intensity reductions, potential ... -

Business as UNusual: the implications of fossil divestment and green bonds for financial flows, economic growth and energy market
Glomsrød, Solveig; Wei, Taoyuan (2016:01, Working paper, 2016)Green bonds and fossil divestment has emerged as a bottom-up approach to climate action within the business community. Recent pledges by large banks and institutional investors have reached levels that have the potential ... -
Capital Gains and Income Arising from Nonrenewable Resources
Wei, Taoyuan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Should capital gains be included in income arising from nonrenewable resources? In the present paper, I show that capital gains from a nonrenewable resource can be divided into two terms: real price change effects and real ... -
Climate change adaptation based on computable general equilibrium models – a systematic review
Wei, Taoyuan; Aaheim, Asbjørn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Purpose This study aims to identify the current state of the art and the gaps in the application of computable general equilibrium (CGE) models on studying climate change adaptation. Design/methodology/approach A systematic ... -
Climate change impacts on crop yield: Evidence from China
Wei, Taoyuan; Cherry, Todd; Glomsrød, Solveig; Zhang, Tianyi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)When estimating climate change impact on crop yield, a typical assumption is constant elasticity of yield with respect to a climate variable even though the elasticity may be inconstant. After estimating both constant and ... -
Comparing approaches to valuing sectoral net investments
Wei, Taoyuan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)In the literature of comprehensive national accounts, national net investments are used to indicate dynamic welfare improvement in an economy. A well-known approach associates national net investments with the shadow value ... -
Corporate social responsibility disclosure, media reports, and enterprise innovation: Evidence from chinese listed companies
Wu, Shilei; Zhang, Hongjie; Wei, Taoyuan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Given the limited response of enterprises to China’s national policy on the compulsory disclosure of corporate social responsibility (CSR), a deviation has occurred between policy orientation and reality. To explore the ... -
Cost reduction in low-carbon hydrogen: effective but insufficient to mitigate carbon emissions
Wei, Taoyuan; Glomsrød, Solveig (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Many countries have announced hydrogen promotion strategies to achieve net zero CO2 emissions around 2050. The cost of producing low-carbon (green and blue) hydrogen has been projected to fall considerably as production ... -
Description of a 1.5°C scenario with chosen measures
Cappelen, Ådne; Glomsrød, Solveig; Lindholt, Lars; Rosendahl, Knut Einar; Wei, Taoyuan (2022:08, Report, 2022-05)In the Paris Agreement, it was agreed to limit global warming to well below 2°C, and preferably to 1.5°C, compared to pre-industrial levels. At the follow-up meeting in Glasgow in 2021, the goal was strengthened to 1.5°C. ... -
Distributive fairness: A mutual recognition approach
Underdal, Arild; Wei, Taoyuan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Can norms of distributive fairness serve as pillars of a new and more effective global climate regime? Three general principles – responsibilities, capabilities (capacity), and needs (or rights) – are frequently invoked ... -
Driving forces in energy-related carbon dioxide emissions in east and south coastal China: commonality and variations
Gao, Chaochao; Liu, Yonghong; Jin, Jun; Wei, Taoyuan; Zhang, Jianying; Zhu, Lizhong (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)As the world's top carbon dioxide emitter, China is expected to reach its emissions peak by 2030. East and south coastal China contribute nearly one-third of the emissions in China, and therefore play a critical role in ... -
