Dark clouds or silver linings? : Knightian uncertainty and climate change
Chen, Yu-Fu; Funke, Michael; Glanemann, Nicole - 2011
This paper examines the impact of Knightian uncertainty upon optimal climate policy through the prism of a continuous-time real option modelling framework. We analytically determine optimal intertemporal climate policies under ambiguity. Additionally, numerical simulations are provided to...
