... occurs. In both scenarios, we assume that the forest was exposed to the observed historic concentrations of CO₂ in the atmosphere. ⁴ We measure the net effect of manmade land use and land use change as the difference in forest carbon held by the Natural Forest Scenario versus...

... the general narratives (O’Neill et al., 2017). This is apparent in the fact that the FSPs provide explicit information on when, where, and what types of forest carbon sequestration would likely to be ‘priced’ under each FSP, which closely follows the recommendation of Popp et al.’s (2017...

... the emergence of market forces that preserve and enhance forest carbon. The paper proceeds as follows: Section 2 reviews the literature on forest carbon leakage, Section 3 introduces our carbon leakage model and Section 4 concludes with a discussion of results and policy implications. Our model consists...

...Mathilda Eriksson; Runar Brännlund; Tommy Lundgren Using an integrated assessment model, we examine the implications of climate policies that do not fully recognize forest carbon. Specifically, we first investigate the impact of an asymmetric policy that recognizes carbon emissions from fossil...

... featured direct payments to landowners of $0 (baseline), $5, $10, or $15 per metric ton of additional forest carbon sequestered on the set aside lands, with maximum annual expenditures of $3 billion. Results indicated that from 1513 to 6837 Tg (Teragrams) of additional carbon (as carbon dioxide equivalent...
