Uncertainty plays a key role in the economics of climate change, and the discussions surrounding its implications for … climate policy are far from settled. We give an overview of the literature on uncertainty in integrated assessment models of … complementary approaches that model uncertainty in association with integrated assessment models: the discrete uncertainty modeling …

Market mechanisms are increasingly being used as a tool for allocating somewhat scarce but unpriced rights and resources, such as air and water. Tradable permits have emerged as the most cost effective measure leading to the emergence of both nationwide (SO2 ) and supranational (CO2 ) emission...

This paper develops linear quadratic robust control theory for a class of spatially invariant distributed control systems that appear in areas of economics such as New Economic Geography, management of ecological systems, optimal harvesting of spatially mobile species, and the like. Since this...

It follows that the higher the … degree of uncertainty, the more aggressive this preventive action should be. This normative maxim is explored in the case of … a stylized dynamic model of pollution control under Knightian uncertainty. At time 0 a decision-maker makes a one …
