The prevailing literature discusses intergenerational trade-offs in climatechange predominantly in terms of the Ramsey equation relying on the infinitelylived agent model. We discuss these trade-offs in a continuous time OLG framework and relate our results to the infinitely lived agent setting....

We … imbed this discounting model in a simple climate change model to calculate “constant equivalent discount rates†and … plausible levels of expenditure to control climate change.
