Discounting the Distant Future: How Much Do Uncertain Rates Increase Valuations?
Newell, Richard G.; Pizer, William A. - 2001
Costs and benefits in the distant future-such as those associated with global warming, long-lived infrastructure, hazardous and radioactive waste, and biodiversity-often have little value today when measured with conventional discount rates. We demonstrate that when the future path of this...

Production Functions for Climate Policy Modeling: An Empirical Analysis
van der Werf, Edwin - 2007
Quantitative models for climate policy modeling differ in the production structure used and in the sizes of the elasticities of substitution. The empirical foundation for both is generally lacking. This paper estimates the parameters of two-level CES production functions with capital, labour and...

Abatement and Transaction Costs of Carbon-Sink Projects Involving Smallholders
Cacho, Oscar J.; Lipper, Leslie - 2007
Agroforestry projects have the potential to help mitigate global warming by acting as sinks for greenhouse gasses. However, participation in carbon-sink projects may be constrained by high costs. This problem may be particularly severe for projects involving smallholders in developing countries....

Climate Policy and the Optimal Extraction of High- and Low-Carbon Fossil Fuels
van der Werf, Edwin; Smulders, Sjak - 2007
We study how restricting CO2 emissions affects resource prices and depletion over time. We use a Hotelling-style model with two non-renewable fossil fuels that differ in their carbon content (e.g. coal and natural gas) and in addition are imperfect substitutes in final good production. We show...
