Optimal Climate Policy under Exogenous and Endogenous Technical Change: Making Sense of the Different Approaches
Coppens, Léo; Dietz, Simon; Venmans, Frank - 2024
Integrated assessment models (IAMs) provide key inputs to decision-makers on economically efficient climate policies, and technical change is one of the key assumptions in any IAM that estimates mitigation costs. We conduct a systematic survey of how technical change is currently represented in...

An Economic Anatomy of Optimal Climate Policy
Moreno-Cruz, Juan; Wagner, Gernot; Keith, David W. - 2018
This paper introduces geoengineering into an optimal control model of climate change economics. Together with mitigation and adaptation, carbon and solar geoengineering span the universe of possible climate policies. Their wildly different characteristics have important implications for climate...

On the Relationship between Adaptation and Mitigation
Winkler, Ralph - 2023
Many poor countries are ill-adapted to the current leave alone a changing future climate, because they lack the necessary financial means to invest in efficient and cost-effective safeguarding measures. International endeavours to fund institutions, such as the Green Climate Fund, to provide...

Advancing Global Carbon Abatement with a Two-Tier Climate Club
Iverson, Terrence - 2022
A two-tier climate club exploits the comparative advantage of large countries to mete out punishments through trade, while taking their capacity to resist punishment as a constraint. Countries outside the coalition price carbon at a fixed fraction of the average carbon price adopted within the...

Non-Cooperative and Cooperative Climate Policies with Anticipated Breakthrough Technology
Jaakkola, Niko; van der Ploeg, Rick - 2018
Global warming can be curbed by pricing carbon emissions and thus substituting fossil fuel with renewable energy consumption. Breakthrough technologies (e.g., fusion energy) can reduce the cost of such policies. However, the chance of such a technology coming to market depends on investment. We...

A global compass for the great divergence: emissions vs. production centers of gravity 1820-2008
Sauter, Caspar; Grether, Jean-Marie; Mathys, Nicole A. - 2019
We construct the world’s centers of gravity for human population, GDP and CO2 emissions by taking the best out of five recognized data sources covering the last two centuries. On the basis of a novel distorsion-free representation of these centers of gravity, we find a radical Western shift of...
