optimal combination of the two introducing the role of catastrophic and spatial uncertainty related to climate change damages … both cases uncertainty works in the direction to make mitigation a more attractive strategy than adaptation. When … catastrophic uncertainty is concerned mitigation becomes relatively more important as, by curbing emissions, it helps to reduce …

We address the problem of choosing a portfolio of policies under "deep uncertainty." We introduce the idea of belief …

This risk premium quantifies what society would be willing to pay to insure against the uncertainty of the damages, and it … highly sensitive to the coefficient of relative risk aversion.
