Recommendations for diagnosing effective radiative forcing from climate models for CMIP6
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The usefulness of previous Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) exercises has been hampered by a lack of radiative forcing information. This has made it difficult to understand reasons for differences between model ... -
Distributive fairness: A mutual recognition approach
(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 ... -
Household Energy Use and Carbon Emissions in China: A decomposition analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Although its per capita carbon emissions are still relatively low, China’s aggregated carbon emissions have grown by nearly 4-fold in the last three decades, and now it is the biggest CO2 emitter in the world. There are ... -
Wave transition in household energy use
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The energy ladder model and energy stacking model have been proposed in the literature to describe the relations between income growth and transition of energy consumed by households. Both models are largely descriptive ... -
Percentile indices for assessing changes in heavy precipitation events
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Many climate studies assess trends and projections in heavy precipitation events using precipitation percentile (or quantile) indices. Here we investigate three different percentile indices that are commonly used. We ... -
Climate change impacts on crop yield: Evidence from China
(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 ... -
A multi-method evaluation of the potential for using the electricity bill to encourage energy savings in Norwegian households
(Journal article, 2013)This study explores whether the electricity bill can be used as a medium to deliver information that encourages energy conservation in Norwegian households. Two main categories of information were tested: social comparative ... -
Linking the emissions trading schemes of Europe and China - Combining climate and energy policy instruments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Both Europe and China have announced targets for greenhouse gas emissions reduction and renewable energy development. To achieve their emissions targets, Europe has introduced emissions trading scheme (ETS) since 2005 and ... -
A warmer policy for a colder climate: Can China both reduce poverty and cap carbon emissions?
(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 ... -
Energy market impacts of nuclear power phase-out policies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Since the Fukushima disaster in Japan in March 2011, safety concerns have escalated and policies toward nuclear power are being reconsidered in several countries. This article presents a study of the upward pressure on ... -
Effectiveness of integrated low-carbon technologies: Evidence from a pilot agricultural experiment in Shanghai
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Purpose – Constructing a low-carbon agriculture park is considered an effective means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in developing countries. This study explores the effectiveness of integrated low-carbon agricultural ... -
Capital Gains and Income Arising from Nonrenewable Resources
(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 ... -
Comparing approaches to valuing sectoral net investments
(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 ... -
Wealth-dependent and interdependent strategies in the Saami reindeer husbandry, Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)It has been argued that decisions in relation to choosing strategies to a large degree depend on an organism's state. For nomadic pastoralists, wealth is an important state variable since it has been argued that differences ... -
Climate change, risk management and the end of Nomadic pastoralism
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Mobility has been argued to be the single factor explaining why some pastoralists do relatively well during extreme climatic events, while others do not, because mobility works by taking advantage of the spatial and temporal ... -
The Compensation Fund for Climate Impacts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Climate change is very likely to lead to undesirable climate impacts. How to compensate for such negative impacts at the international level has, hitherto, received little attention. This article reviews the most frequently ... -
The socioeconomic drivers of China's primary PM_2.5 emissions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Primary PM2.5 emissions contributed significantly to poor air quality in China. We present an interdisciplinary study to measure the magnitudes of socioeconomic factors in driving primary PM2.5 emission changes in China ... -
Cooperative Pastoral Production: Reconceptualizing the Relationship between Pastoral Labor and Production
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)A review of the literature concerning nomadic pastoralism reveals a prevalent assumption of a positive effect of labor inputs on pastoral production. However, studies that have tried to quantify the relationship between ... -
The development and deployment of low-carbon energy technologies: The role of economic interests and cultural worldviews on public support
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Large-scale deployment of low-carbon energy technologies is crucial to mitigating climate change, and public support is an important barrier to policies and projects that facilitate deployment. This paper provides insights ... -
Research priorities for negative emissions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere (CDR)—also known as 'negative emissions'—features prominently in most 2 °C scenarios and has been under increased scrutiny by scientists, citizens, and policymakers. Critics argue ...
