Evaluating climate policies by the Pareto principle : efficiency when future identities are unobservable
Asheim, Geir B.; Kamaga, Kohei; Zuber, Stéphane - 2022
Climate change is an externality since those who emit greenhouse gases do not pay the long-term negative consequences of their emissions. In view of the resulting inefficiency, it has been claimed that climate policies can be evaluated by the Pareto principle. However, climate policies lead to...

Destructive intergenerational altruism
Asheim, Geir B.; Nesje, Frikk - 2015 - Last modified Dec 17, 2015
Are the probable future negative effects of climate change an argument for decreasing the discount rate to promote the interests of future generations? The analysis of the present paper suggests that such stronger intergenerational altruism might undermine future wellbeing if not complemented by...

Climate justice for persons with disability : few harmed much, fewer still harmed too much
Tampubolon, Gindo - 2023
Building on Rawls' theory of justice and Sen's theory of capabilities, I present an outline of social justice under climate shocks, illustrating it with the experiences of persons with disability. Social justice holds when inequality is responded to by rules that afford more primary goods, such...

Closed-form integrated assessment and uncertainty
Traeger, Christian - 2015
is comparable to numeric models used in policy advising. Uncertainty surrounding climate change remains large. The closed …-form expressions of welfare loss from shocks and epistemological uncertainty identify the interaction of (intertemporal) risk attitude …, distributional moments, and the climatic shadow values. Welfare gains from reducing uncertainty about temperature feedbacks are much …
