We use perturbation methods to derive a rule for the optimal risk-adjusted social cost of carbon (SCC) that … different aversions to risk and intertemporal fluctuations, convex damages, uncertainties in economic growth, atmospheric carbon …-run climate feedbacks. Our non-certainty-equivalent rule for the SCC incorporates precaution, risk insurance, and climate …

Estimating risk preferences is tricky because controlling for confounding factors is difficult. Omitting or imperfectly … controlling for these factors can attribute too much observable behavior to risk aversion and bias estimated preferences. Agents … often modify risky decisions in response to dynamic wealth or asset thresholds, where they exist. Ignoring this dynamic risk …

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...
