Bayesian Learning and Regulation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Karp, Larry S.; Zhang, Jiangfeng - 2013

We study the importance of anticipated learning - about both environmental damages and abatement costs - in determining the level and the method of controlling greenhouse gas emissions. We also compare active learning, passive learning, and parameter uncertainty without learning. Current beliefs...
