Welfare Costs of Long-Run Temperature Shifts
Bansal, Ravi - 2011

The Social Cost of Stochastic and Irreversible Climate Change
Cai, Yongyang - 2013
There is great uncertainty about the impact of anthropogenic carbon on future economic wellbeing. We use DSICE, a DSGE extension of the DICE2007 model of William Nordhaus, which incorporates beliefs about the uncertain economic impact of possible climate tipping events and uses empirically...

Public Policies Against Global Warming
Sinn, Hans-Werner - 2007
Judged by the principle of intertemporal Pareto optimality, insecure property rights and the greenhouse effect both imply overly rapid extraction of fossil carbon resources. A gradual expansion of demand-reducing public policies -- such as increasing ad-valorem taxes on carbon consumption or...

Evolution of Assessments of the Economics of Global Warming : Changes in the Dice Model, 1992 – 2017
Nordhaus, William D. - 2017
Many areas of the natural and social sciences involve complex systems that link together multiple sectors. Integrated assessment models (IAMs) are approaches that integrate knowledge from two or more domains into a single framework, and these are particularly important for climate change. One of...

Overlapping Climate Policies
Perino, Grischa - 2019
Major carbon-pricing systems in Europe and North America involve multiple jurisdictions (countries or states). Individual jurisdictions often pursue additional initiatives—such as unilateral carbon price floors, legislation to phase out coal, aviation taxes or support programs for renewable...

On a World Climate Assembly and the Social Cost of Carbon
Weitzman, Martin - 2016
This paper postulates the conceptually useful allegory of a futuristic “World Climate Assembly” (WCA) that votes for a … emitter's single-peaked most-preferred world price of carbon emissions to the world “Social Cost of Carbon” (SCC). The second … and third propositions relate the WCA-voted world price of carbon to the world SCC. I argue that the WCA-voted price and …

Price of Long-Run Temperature Shifts in Capital Markets
Bansal, Ravi - 2016
We use the forward-looking information from the US and global capital markets to estimate the economic impact of global warming, specifically, long-run temperature shifts. We find that global warming carries a positive risk premium that increases with the level of temperature and that has almost...

How a Minimum Carbon Price Commitment Might Help to Internalize the Global Warming Externality
Weitzman, Martin - 2016
It is difficult to resolve the global warming free-rider externality problem by negotiating many different quantity targets. By contrast, negotiating a single internationally-binding minimum carbon price (the proceeds from which are domestically retained) counters self-interest by incentivizing...

Who Should Abate Carbon Emissions? An International Viewpoint
Chichilnisky, Graciela; Heal, Geoffrey M. - 2021
We review the optimal pattern of carbon emission abatements across countries in a simple multi-country world. We model …
