Emanuele Massetti is Senior Researcher, Sustainable Development Unit, Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM); his research focuses on the economics of climate change. He is one of the authors of the Hybrid Integrated Assessment Model WITCH -World Induced Technical Change Hybrid, developed at FEEM. Thanks to its compact optimal growth style framework, to its energy sector detail and to the strategic interaction among agents, WITCH is particularly suited to study optimal investment strategies under climate mitigation policies. Emanuele is particularly interested in R&D dynamics under climate policy, especially the implications of climate policy for the direction and pace of technical progress. I am now also studying the implications of climate policy on fossil fuels markets and on the regional distribution of stabilization costs. In 2008-2009 Emanuele was Research Associate at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, where he started to work with Robert Mendelsohn at new developments of the Ricardian method to estimate climate impacts on agriculture, with adaptation.
