Reciprocal Climate Negotiators
Nyborg, Karine - 2015
International climate negotiations have been troubled by mutual mistrust. At the same time, a hope seems to prevail that once enough countries moved forward, others would follow suit. If the abatement game faced by climate negotiators is a Prisoners' Dilemma, and countries are narrowly...

Population Growth and Carbon Emissions

We provide evidence that lower fertility can simultaneously increase income per capita and lower carbon emissions, eliminating a trade-off central to most policies aimed at slowing global climate change. We estimate the effect of lower fertility on carbon emissions accounting for the fact that...

Climate Change Salience, Economic Insecurity, and Support for Mitigation Policies
Johnston, David W.; Knott, Rachel; Mendolia, Silvia - 2022
Many people remain opposed to climate change mitigation policies. This opposition is an obstacle to policy action and, therefore, important to understand. We explore how unusually high temperatures (heat waves), which observably increase the salience of climate change-related issues, affect...

To Own or Not to Own? Household Portfolios, Demographics and Institutions in a Cross-National Perspective
Sierminska, Eva - 2014
