Climate change damage (or, more correctly, impact) functions relate variations in temperature (or other climate variables) to economic impacts in various dimensions, and are at the basis of quantitative modeling exercises for the assessment of climate change policies. This document provides a...

In Bayesian theory, the data together with the prior produce a posterior. We show that it is also possible to follow … (which is not observable). We then apply the theory to equilibrium climate sensitivity as reported by the Intergovernmental …

When and if the United States chooses to implement a greenhouse gas reduction program, it will be necessary to decide whether carbon sequestration policies - such as those that promote forestation and discourage deforestation - should be part of the domestic portfolio of compliance activities....

In this paper we develop a new methodology for finding optimal government policies in economies with heterogeneous agents. The methodology is solely based on three classes of equilibrium conditions from the government's and individual agent's optimization problems: 1) the first order conditions;...

To shed a light on these questions, we analyse a sample of 69 transition risk metrics delivered by 9 different … climate transition risk providers and covering the 1,500 firms of the MSCI World index. Our findings show that convergence … between metrics is significantly higher for the firms most exposed to transition risk. We also show that metrics with similar …
