This paper is, to our knowledge, the first paper in climate economics to consider the combination of spatial heat … North et al. (1981), that the two hemispheres were symmetric. Our results suggest that it is possible to build climate … damages, and climate dynamics. We also determine optimal taxes per unit of emission and show that, in contrast to the standard …

This paper presents an optimal control model to analyze reforestations with two different species, including commercial values, carbon sequestration and biodiversity or scenic values. We solve the model qualitatively with general functions and discuss the implications of partial or total...

We study a dynamic game of climate policy design in terms of emissions and solar radiation management (SRM) involving … unilateral SRM activities, thus reducing global temperature. Heterogeneity is modelled in terms of the social cost of SRM, the …, concentration of GHGs, and global temperature, and we examine whether a trade-off actually emerges between mitigation and SRM. Our …

The carbon mitigation literature has separately considered using forests to store carbon and as a source of bioenergy. In this paper, we look at both options to reach a 2°C mitigation target. This paper combines the global forest model, GTM, with the IAM WITCH model to study the optimal use of...

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...
