Designing Climate Mitigation Policy (2010, unknown): “…Even within a country, studies suggest leakages rates could be quite high unless the entire forest sector is included in the program (e.g., Murray et al. 2004, Sohngen and Brown 2004). through allowance auctions, cap-and-trade systems can generate comparable revenues to a tax, while rents…”
Economic consequences of consideration of permanence, leakage and additionality for soil carbon sequestration projects (2007, background): “As noted in Murray et al. (2004) , carbon leakage is not necessarily proportional to land leakage because the land entering and leaving the production base has differing potential to sequester carbon.”
Does the opportunity cost approach indicate the real cost of REDD+ ? Rights and realities of paying for REDD+ (2010, background): “Murray et al (2004) point out that: It is commonly argued that small projects will have neglible effects on the affected markets and therefore generate little leakage.”
Leakage and Comparative Advantage Implications of Agricultural Participation in Greenhouse Gas Emission Mitigation (2007, background): “Agricultural Sector Model (ASMGHG) developed by Schneider (2000) and McCarl and Schneider (2001).”
Policy and technological constraints to implementation of greenhouse gas mitigation options in agriculture (2007, background): “‘Wall-to-wall’ accounting is a mechanism to detect leakage and cancel it out within an accounting region; between regions, leakage correction factors may need to be employed (Murray et al., 2004).”
Payment for Ecosystem Services from Forests (2014, background): “There are a variety of price slippage models, including those of Robalino (2007) and Murray et al. (2004), who nicely show that lower elasticities of forest product demand generate greater leakage.”
Do timber plantations contribute to forest conservation (2016, background): “Other studies have found leakage of forest harvest can occur when logging is limited in natural forests (Meyfroidt et al., 2010; Murray et al., 2004).”
A model for regional analysis of carbon sequestration and timber production (2005, unknown): “Another approach is to model the harvest behaviour by using market models (Adams et al., 1999; Sohngen and Sedjo, 2000; Murray et al., 2004).”
Global cost estimates of reducing carbon emissions through avoided deforestation (2008, background): “Second, accounting for leakage could impose additional costs, given that current estimates of leakage in forestry projects range from 10% to 90% (33, 34).”
Geographically explicit global modeling of land-use change, carbon sequestration, and biomass supply (2007, background): “A large number of studies and surveys of carbon sequestration costs exist [7–16].”
