The rationale of voluntary corporate initiatives is often explained with anticipation of future regulation. We test this hypothesis for the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) and the Climate Leaders (CL), two popular voluntary US environmental programs to curb carbon emission that were operating...

Climate physics predicts that the intensity of natural disasters will increase in the future due to climate change. One of the biggest challenges for economic modeling is the inherent uncertainty of climate events, which crucially affects consumption, investment, and abatement decisions. We...

This paper concerns optimal emissions of greenhouse gases when catastrophic consequences are possible. A numerical model is presented which takes into account both continuous climate-feedback damages as well as the possibility of a catastrophic outcome. The uncertainty in the model concerns...

Die globale Klimapolitik befindet sich in einer Sackgasse. Während die Klimaforscher drastische Maßnahmen fordern, um die Emissionen von Klimagasen zu begrenzen, nimmt der Ausstoß dieser Gase zu. Wird die Entwicklung der Treibhausgasemissionen allein am Kohlendioxid gemessen, muss weltweit...
