GHG Targets as Insurance Against Catastrophic Climate Damages

Weitzman, Martin L. - 2010

A critical issue in climate-change economics is the specification of the so-called "damages function" and its interaction with the unknown uncertainty of catastrophic outcomes. This paper asks how much we might be misled by our economic assessment of climate change when we employ a conventional...
