The Integrated Assessment Model (IAM) has extensively treated the adverse effects of climate change and the appropriate mitigation policy. We extend such a model to include optimal policies for mitigation, adaptation and infrastructure investment studying the dynamics of the transition to a low...

In this paper we study a basic model of economic growth where we integrate a zero-dimensional energy balance model of the Earth. The albedo of the Earth is the piecewise smooth function of the average surface temperature, thus, taking into account possible feedback effects of a higher...

It is frequently observed that the implementation of green policies is delayed compared to the initial announcement. Considering a setting with a representative monopolist extracting a non-renewable resource, we demonstrate that announcing a green policy, but then delaying its implementation, is...
