Using a policy mix for pollution control: A review of economic literature

Lehmann, Paul - 2008

This article provides a review of economic studies analyzing the use of multiple policies - a socalled policy mix - to cope with single pollution problems. To guide and structure the review, an analytical framework is developed and applied. The framework integrates transaction costs into the...

Transient temperature response modeling in IAMs: the effects of over simplification on the SCC

Marten, Alex L. - 2011

Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) couple representations of the natural climate system with models of the global economy to capture interactions that are important for the evaluation of potential climate and energy policies. The U.S. federal government currently uses such models to derive the...

The US government's social cost of carbon estimates after their first year: Pathways for improvement

Kopp, Robert E.; Mignone, Bryan K. - 2011

In 2010, the U.S. government adopted its first consistent estimates of the social cost of carbon (SCC) for government-wide use in regulatory cost-benefit analysis. Here, we examine a number of the limitations of the estimates identified in the U.S. government report and elsewhere and review...

The influence of the specification of climate change damages on the social cost of carbon

Kopp, Robert E.; Golub, Alexander; Keohane, Nathaniel O.; … - 2011

Drawing upon climate change damage functions previously proposed in the literature that we have calibrated to a common level of damages at 2.5 C, we examine the effect upon the social cost of carbon (SCC) of varying the specification of damages in a DICE-like integrated assessment model. In the...

Climate risks and carbon prices: Revising the social cost of carbon

Ackerman, Frank; Stanton, Elizabeth A. - 2011

The social cost of carbon - or marginal damage caused by an additional ton of carbon dioxide emissions - has been … associated with climate change, and downplays the impact of our current emissions on future generations. Our reanalysis explores … emissions as rapidly as technologically feasible (reaching zero or negative net global emissions by the end of this century …

The social cost of CO2 from the PAGE09 model

Hope, Chris W. - 2011

economic impact results are presented for a business as usual (BAU) emissions scenario, and for a low emissions scenario which … about $100 per tonne of CO2 in the BAU scenario, and about $50 per tonne in the low emissions scenario.

General knowledge about climate change, factors influencing risk perception and willingness to insure

Menny, Claas; Osberghaus, Daniel; Pohl, Max; Werner, Ute - 2011

In two empirical surveys in Germany the link between the information respondents have about climate change and their risk perception of the phenomenon was analysed. We found that a better understanding of the effects of climate change might lead to a decrease of the perceived hazard. In...

Transient temperature response modeling in IAMs: The effects of over simplification on the SCC

Marten, Alex L. - In: Economics: The Open-Access, Open-Assessment E-Journal 5 (2011) 2011-18, pp. 1-42

Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) couple representations of the natural climate system with models of the global economy to evaluate climate and energy policies. Such models are currently used to derive the benefits of carbon mitigation policies through estimates of the social cost of carbon...

On the relevance of ideology and environmental values for climate change beliefs, climate policy support, and climate protection activities: An empirical cross country analysis

Ziegler, Andreas - 2015

Based on unique data from representative computer-based surveys among more than 3400 citizens, this paper empirically examines the determinants of climate change beliefs, climate policy support, and climate protection activities in three countries which are key players in international climate...
