Spatial heat transport, polar amplification and climate change policy

Brock, William A.; Xepapadeas, Anastasios - 2016

This paper is, to our knowledge, the first paper in climate economics to consider the combination of spatial heat transport and polar amplification. We simplified the problem by stratifying the Earth into latitude belts and assuming, as in North et al. (1981), that the two hemispheres were...

Unilateral climate policy, the Green Paradox, Coalition Size and Stability

Kollenbach, Gilbert - 2014

We incorporate three important aspects of current climate policy, unilateralism, demand side approach and a climate target, in a multi-country model with flow dependent fossil fuel extraction costs and a backstop. It turns out that the optimal climate coalition should encompass all countries...
