Third, it is far from obvious why EU ETS should cover the entire carbon emissions base if other instruments, like (implicit …) carbon taxes are already available.

We use perturbation methods to derive a rule for the optimal risk-adjusted social cost of carbon (SCC) that incorporates the effects of uncertainties associated with climate and the economy from a calibrated DSGE model. We allow for different aversions to risk and intertemporal fluctuations,...
