Population Under a Cap on Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Bohn, Henning - 2013

A cap on greenhouse gas emissions makes total emissions a fixed common-property resource. Population increases under a cap are therefore self-limiting: a population increase raises labor and reduces emissions per unit of labor, which lowers incomes and fertility. Because a marginal birth under a...

Will Skycrapers Save the Planet? Building Height Limits and Urban Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Borck, Rainald - 2021

This paper studies the effectiveness of building height limits as a policy to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It shows that building height limits lead to urban sprawl and higher emissions from commuting. On the other hand, aggregate housing consumption may decrease which reduces emissions...

Monitoring and Enforcement of Climate Policy

Sigman, Hilary - 2010

This chapter applies recent research on environmental enforcement to a potential U.S. program to control greenhouse gases, especially through emission trading. Climate policies present the novel problem of integrating emissions reductions that are relatively easy to monitor (such as carbon...

The Distribution of Environmental Damages

Hsiang, Solomon - 2017

Most regulations designed to reduce environmental externalities impose costs on individuals and firms. An active body of research has explored how these costs are disproportionately born by different sectors of the economy and/or across different groups of individuals. However, much less is...

Neue Weltklimaordnung : Emissionshandel zwischen Staaten mit schrittweiser Klimagerechtigkeit

Sargl, Manfred; Wolfsteiner, Andreas; Wittmann, Günter - In: Wirtschaftsdienst : Zeitschrift für Wirtschaftspolitik 91 (2011) 10, pp. 704-711

Der Diskussionsprozess um ein internationales Klimaabkommen und zur Klimagerechtigkeit dauert an. Die Autoren stellen ein Modell vor, das Klimagerechtigkeit schrittweise und mit marktbasierten Instrumenten umsetzt. Sie fordern eine internationale Weltklimaordnung, die auf der Weltklimakonferenz...

Inequality and the Social Cost of Carbon

Anthoff, David - 2016

This paper presents a novel way to disentangle inequality aversion over time from inequality aversion between regions in the computation of the Social Cost of Carbon. Our approach nests a standard efficiency based Social Cost of Carbon estimate and an equity weighted Social Cost of Carbon...

Growth and Mitigation Policies with Uncertain Climate Damage

Bretschger, Lucas - 2014

Climate physics predicts that the intensity of natural disasters will increase in the future due to climate change. We present a stochastic model of a growing economy where natural disasters are multiple and random, with damages driven by the economy's polluting activity. We provide a...

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...
