We analyze the impact of damage uncertainty on optimal mitigation policies in the integrated assessment of climate … deriving optimal policy rules under persistent uncertainty. For this purpose,we construct a close relative of the DICE model in … aversion, and aversion to intertemporal substitution. We analyze different ways how damage uncertainty can affect the DICE …

The paper introduces a new notion of risk aversion that is independent of the good under observation and its measure scale. The representational framework builds on a time consistent combination of additive separability on certain consumption paths and the von Neumann & Morgenstern (1944)...

The paper analyzes the discount rate under uncertainty. The analysis complements the probabilistic characterization of … uncertainty by a measure of confidence. Special cases of the model comprise discounting under smooth ambiguity aversion as well as … general class of preferences for which uncertainty implies a reduction of the discount rate. It also characterizes how the …

Uncertainty has an almost negligible impact on project value in the economicstandard model. I show that a comprehensive … evaluation of uncertainty and uncertainty attitude changes this picture fundamentally. The analysis relies on the discount rate … respect to non-risk uncertainty. The paper derives the resulting changes of the risk-free and the stochastic social discount …

We model optimal policy when the probability of a tipping point, the welfare change due to a tipping point, and knowledge about a tipping point's trigger all depend on the policy path. Analytic results demonstrate how optimal policy depends on the ability to affect both the probability of a...
