We show that several of the most important economic models of climate change produce climate dynamics inconsistent with the current crop of models in climate science. First, most economic models exhibit far too long a delay between an impulse of CO2 emissions and warming. Second, few economic...

We propose a theory of climate-policy motivated foreign intervention to study different forms of international climate governance in the presence of power imbalance. Foreign countries have at least three options to intervene in another country's domestic climate policy: i.) Agreements with...

Mitigation aims … at a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions whereas adaptation reduces the follow-up costs of climate change. In contrast … to the existing literature, we explicitly model the decision of risk-averse governments on mitigation and adaptation …
