Stacking low carbon policies on the renewable fuels standard: Economic and greenhouse gas implications (2013, methodology): “Hertel et al. (2010) and Searchinger et al. (2008) apply the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) and Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) models, respectively, to investigate the direct and indirect land use changes induced by the mandate for corn ethanol.”
Critical aspects in the life cycle assessment (LCA) of bio-based materials – Reviewing methodologies and deriving recommendations (2013, background): “Other secondary effects include the intensification of existing agriculture or a reduction in actual food production (Searchinger et al., 2008; Tipper et al., 2009; Hertel et al., 2010).”
Measuring Indirect Land Use Change with Biofuels: Implications for Policy (2011, methodology): “The US Environmental Protection Agency uses a 30 year time horizon for calculating the ILUC factor used in the RFS. Hertel et al. (2010) find that assuming a 30 year time horizon for corn ethanol production results in a 50% lower ILUC factor compared to that with a 20 year time horizon.”
Climate policies for road transport revisited (I): Evaluation of the current framework (2011, background): “For example, one of the most marketdominant biofuels, US corn ethanol, is estimated by some authors to have higher lifecycle emissions than gasoline (Hertel et al., 2010).”
The Global Supply and Demand for Agricultural Land in 2050: A Perfect Storm in the Making? AAEA Presidential Address (2010, background): “Hertel et al. (2010) evaluate the impact of eliminating the endogenous demand response to the biofuels induced scarcity in global food and agricultural markets, and find that, absent any price-induced consumption adjustments ( ), twice as much forest is converted globally as in their base case, and…”
