Finland introduced the planet’s first carbon tax in 1990 to experiment with, to most economists, the best policy to reverse carbon emissions. I estimate the causal effect of taxing carbon on Finnish emissions using the Synthetic Control Approach (Abadie, 2021). The results suggest that taxing...

We argue the earnings announcement premium is a measure of firm-specific uncertainty aversion. Our stylized model shows … earnings announcements, as pure news events, are priced only if investors are uncertainty averse; further, the earnings … announcement return is negatively correlated to future investment only if there is time-varying uncertainty.

We use FUND 3.5 to estimate the social cost of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and sulphur hexafluoride emissions. We show the results of a range of sensitivity analyses, focusing on the impact of carbon dioxide fertilization. Ignored in previous studies of the social cost of greenhouse...
