Why Worry About Climate Change? A Research Agenda
Tol, Richard S.J. - 2006
Estimates of the marginal damage costs of carbon dioxide emissions suggest that, although climate change is a problem and some emission reduction is justified, very stringent abatement does not pass the cost-benefit test. However, current estimates of the economic impact of climate change are...

The Polluter Pays Principle and Cost-Benefit Analysis of Climate Change: An Application of Fund
Tol, Richard S.J. - 2006
I compare and contrast five climate scenarios: (1) no climate policy; (2) non-cooperative cost-benefit analysis (NC CBA); (3) NC CBA with international permit trade; (4) NC CBA with joint and several liability for climate change damages; and (5) NC CBA with liability proportional to a country's...

Equitable cost-benefit analysis of climate change
Tol, Richard S. J. - 1999
The literature of welfare-maximising greenhouse gas emission reduction strategies pays remarkably little attention to equity. This paper introduces three ways to consider efficiency and equity simultaneously. The first method, inspired by Kant and Rawls, maximises net present welfare, without...

Benefits & costs of Kyoto
Shogren, Jason - 1999
The 1998 Kyoto protocol signalled a new earnestness of international intent toward addressing the perceived risk of climate change. Kyoto demands that developed nations turn their economies so as to hit differentiated, sub-1990 level carbon emission targets within the next decade or so. But when...

Input use and capacity constraint under uncertainty: The case of irrigation
Bontems, Philippe; Favard, Pascal - 2002
In this paper we consider a two periods model of cropping using irrigation. The farmer takes two kind of decisions, one … related to the level of investment in irrigation capacity and the other one to the irrigation level in each period. In the … period. Assuming a CARA utility function, we show that taxing the investment may entail an increase in preventive irrigation …

Optimal Disease Eradication
Hoel, Michael; Barrett, Scott - 2004
Using a dynamic model of the control of an infectious disease, we derive the conditions under which eradication will be optimal. When eradication is feasible, the optimal program requires either a low vaccination rate or eradication. A high vaccination rate is never optimal. Under special...
