The paper derives the optimal carbon tax in closed-form from an integrated assessment of climate change. The formula shows how carbon, temperature, and economic dynamics quantify the optimal mitigation effort. The model's descriptive power is comparable to numeric models used in policy advising....

We present a modification of the most commonly used integrated assessment model (IAM) of climate change (DICE-2016), AD-DICE2016, which is designed to address three key aspects of climateeconomy models: treatment of uncertainty, the use of more appropriate utility functions, and including...

This paper analyses second-best optimal environmental policies in the presence of a double dividend. Using a partial equilibrium model, the paper first reconfirms the well-known result that the existence of a double dividend (in its weak form) favours environmental policy instruments which -...
