We present a decomposition approach for integrated assessment modeling of climate policy based on a linear … approximation of the climate system. Our objective is to demonstrate the usefulness of decomposition for integrated assessment … models posed in a complementarity format. First, the complementarity formulation cum decomposition permits a precise …
