Adler, Matthew D.; Anthoff, David; Bosetti, Valentina; … - 2016

reduction in current consumption that produces a loss in social welfare equivalent to that caused by the emission of a ton of CO …2. The standard approach is to calculate the SCC using a discounted-utilitarian social welfare function (SWF)-one that … welfare economics, but has been, thus far, little used in climate scholarship. The core idea is to give greater weight to well …

Recalculating the social cost of carbon

Shayegh, Soheil; Bosetti, Valentina; Dietz, Simon; … - 2018

Over the last few decades, integrated assessment models (IAM) have provided insight into the relationship between climate change, economy, and climate policies. The limitations of these models in capturing uncertainty in climate parameters, heterogeneity in damages and policies, have given rise...
