Spillovers from Climate Policy
Holland, Stephen P. - 2010
Climate policy spillovers can be either positive or negative since firms change their production processes in response to climate policies, which may either increase or decrease emissions of other pollutants. Understanding these ancillary benefits or costs has important implications for climate...

Analysis of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Tax Proposals
Metcalf, Gilbert E. - 2008
The U.S. Congress is considering a set of bills designed to limit the nation's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This paper complements the analysis by Paltsev et al. (2007) of cap-and-trade bills and applies the MIT Emissions Prediction and Policy Analysis (EPPA) model to carry out an analysis of...

Climate Engineering Economics
Heutel, Garth - 2015
This article reviews and evaluates the nascent literature on the economics of climate engineering. The literature distinguishes between two broad types of climate engineering: solar radiation management and carbon dioxide removal. We review the science and engineering characteristics of these...

Optimal Carbon Abatement in a Stochastic Equilibrium Model with Climate Change
Hambel, Christoph - 2015
This paper studies a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model involving climate change. Our frame- work allows for feedback effects on the temperature dynamics. We are able to match estimates of future temperature distributions provided in the fifth assessment report of the IPCC (2014). We...

Projections and Uncertainties About Climate Change in an Era of Minimal Climate Policies
Nordhaus, William D. - 2016
Climate change remains one of the major international environmental challenges facing nations. Up to now, nations have to date adopted minimal policies to slow climate change. Moreover, there has been no major improvement in emissions trends as of the latest data. The current study uses the...

What We Know and Don't Know about Climate Change, and Implications for Policy
Pindyck, Robert S. - 2020
There is a lot we know about climate change, but there is also a lot we don't know. Even if we knew how much CO2 will be emitted over the coming decades, we wouldn't know how much temperatures will rise as a result. And even if we could predict the extent of warming that will occur, we can say...
