A General Equilibrium Assessment of Climate Change Impacts on Swiss Winter Tourism with Adaptation

Winter alpine tourism has been repeatedly identified as one of the economic sectors most at risk from climate change in Switzerland. However, all of the costs that have been estimated so far for the Swiss tourism sector are, to some extent, misleading as t ...

Économiser de l’énergie grâce au réchauffement climatique

Philippe Thalmann, Marc Vielle, Camille Gonseth

Le réchauffement climatique engendre de nombreux problèmes. Il comporte également quelques aspects positifs, notamment une diminution des besoins en chauffage durant l’hiver. Un scénario climatique moyen nous permet de prédire une diminution potentielle de ...

Impacts of global warming on energy use for heating and cooling with full rebound effects in Switzerland

Philippe Thalmann, Marc Vielle, Camille Gonseth

Global warming is expected to lower the energy demand for heating, which would contribute to a decline in CO2 emissions. This effect may be offset by energy needs for additional cooling and by the impacts of households that reinvest the money they save on ...

The economic impact of climate driven changes in water availability in Switzerland

Marc Vielle, Camille Gonseth, Anne-Kathrin Faust

The broad objective of this study is to estimate the economic impact of changes in water availability due to climate change in Switzerland with a 2050 time horizon. To do so, the sectoral structure of the computable general equilibrium model GEMINI-E3 is b ...

Energy-Tax Changes and Competitiveness: The Role of Adaptive Capacity

Philippe Thalmann, Camille Gonseth

This paper estimates the effect of energy tax (and price) changes on Total Factor Productivity (TFP) and net trade at the industry level, using a panel of industries from European countries covering the period 1990-2003. We investigate the hypothesis that ...

Adapting ski area operations to a warmer climate in the Swiss Alps through snowmaking investments and efficiency improvements

Camille Gonseth

Economic consequences of climate change for the Swiss winter tourism have been assessed in two studies. Though estimates of the potential annual costs highly differ between them, they however agree on two points. On the one hand, winter tourism will be one ...
