Growth and Mitigation Policies with Uncertain Climate Damage
Bretschger, Lucas; Vinogradova, Alexandra - CESifo - 2014
Climate physics predicts that the intensity of natural disasters will increase in the future due to climate change. We present a stochastic model of a growing economy where natural disasters are multiple and random, with damages driven by the economy’s polluting activity. We provide a...

Fail-safe solar radiation management geoengineering
Kosugi, Takanobu - In: Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change 18 (2013) 8, pp. 1141-1166
To avoid dangerous changes to the climate system, the global mean temperature must not rise more than 2 °C from the 19th century level. The German Advisory Council on Global Change recommends maintaining the rate of change in temperature to within 0.2 °C per decade. This paper supposes that...
