Stranded assets : how policy uncertainty affects capital, growth, and the environment
Bretschger, Lucas; Soretz, Susanne - 2018
Standard environmental economics prescribes policies which are optimal and implemented immediately. The paper argues that, in reality, environmental policy often deviates from the optimum and implementation is not deterministic but subject to major uncertainty and frequent change. We present a...

The Environmental Kuznets Curve : Tipping Points, Uncertainty and Weak Identification
Bernard, Jean-Thomas; Gavin, Michael; Khalaf, Lynda; … - 2011
We consider an empirical estimation of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) for carbon dioxide and sulphur, with a focus on confidence set estimation of the tipping point. Various econometric – parametric and nonparametric – methods are considered, reflecting the implications of...

Use less, pay more : can climate policy address the unfortunate event for being poor?
Bretschger, Lucas; Suphaphiphat, Nujin - 2012
The paper develops a two-region endogenous growth model with climate change affecting the countries' capital stocks negatively. We compare two different policies aimed at supporting less developed countries: climate mitigation by rich countries, which diminishes the increase in stock pollution...

Growth and Mitigation Policies With Uncertain Climate Damage
Bretschger, Lucas - 2014
Climate physics predicts that the intensity of natural disasters will increase in the future due to climate change. One of the biggest challenges for economic modeling is the inherent uncertainty of climate events, which crucially affects consumption, investment, and abatement decisions. We...

Growth and Mitigation Policies with Uncertain Climate Damage
Bretschger, Lucas - 2014
Climate physics predicts that the intensity of natural disasters will increase in the future due to climate change. We present a stochastic model of a growing economy where natural disasters are multiple and random, with damages driven by the economy's polluting activity. We provide a...
