Chapter 7. Quasi-experimental methods in environmental economics: Opportunities and challenges
Deschenes, Olivier; Meng, Kyle C. - In: Handbook of environmental economics : Volume 4, (pp. 285-332). 2018
This paper examines the application of quasi-experimental methods in environmental economics. We begin with two observations: (i) standard quasi-experimental methods, first applied in other microeconomic fields, typically assume unit-level treatments that do not spill over across units; (ii)...

Chapter 60 Past Climate Change Impacts on Agriculture
Mendelsohn, Robert - In: Handbook of agricultural economics : volume 3: …, (pp. 3009-3031). 2007
This paper examines the likely impact on agriculture of the climate change which has already taken place between 1960 and 2000. Accumulating greenhouse gases have caused global temperatures to rise approximately 0.25 °C during this period and for precipitation patterns to shift. Using...

Discounting and climate policy
Ploeg, Frederick van der - 2020
The social rate of discount is a crucial driver of the social cost of carbon (SCC), i.e. the expected present discounted value of marginal damages resulting from emitting one ton of carbon today. Policy makers should set carbon prices to the SCC using a carbon tax or a competitive permits...

Stated Preference Estimates of the Average Social Cost of Carbon
Ashenfarb, Matthew; Kotchen, Matthew J. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
This paper provides stated preference (SP) estimates of the average social cost of carbon (ASCC) for use in evaluation of the benefits and costs of climate policy. Based on a U.S. nationally representative survey, we find an average individual willingness-to-pay (WTP) of $1,116 per year to keep...

Willingness to Pay for Climate Policy : A Review of Estimates
Nemet, Gregory F. - 2010
One explanation for the modest pace of efforts to mitigate climate change, both federally and internationally, is that constituents do not ascribe much beneficial value to new laws that change the way we produce and consume energy. We surveyed estimates of consumer willingness to pay (WTP) for...
