Integrated assessment of climate catastrophes with endogenous uncertainty : does the risk of ice sheet collapse justify precautionary mitigation?

Diaz, Delavane B. - 2015

Greenhouse gas policies confront the trade-off between the costs of reducing emissions and the benefits of avoided climate change. The risk of uncertain and potentially irreversible catastrophes is an important issue related to the latter, and one that has not yet been well incorporated into...

Spatial Climate-Economic Models in the Design of Optimal Climate Policies across Locations

Brock, William A. - 2012

We couple a one-dimensional energy balance climate model with heat transportation across latitudes, with an economic growth model. We derive temperature and damage distributions across locations and optimal taxes on fossil fuels which, in contrast to zero-dimensional Integrated Assessment...

Robust Incentives and the Design of a Climate Change Governance Regime

Nemet, Gregory F. - 2015

In building a governance regime to address climate change, should we prioritize the development of global institutions or national ones? This paper adds insight to the issue of how much international coordination on climate governance is optimal by focusing on two neglected characteristics of...

Substitutability and the Cost of Climate Mitigation Policy

Lu, Yingying - 2014

We explore how and by how much the values of elasticities of substitution affect estimates of the cost of emissions reduction policies in computable general equilibrium (CGE) models. We use G-Cubed, an intertemporal CGE model, to carry out a sensitivity and factor decomposition analysis. Average...

COVID-19 and EU climate targets: going further with less?

Meles, Tensay Hadush; Ryan, Lisa; Wheatley, Joe - 2020

The COVID-19 crisis comes at a complex moment for European climate policy as it pivots from a 40% 2030 emissions reduction target to a European Green Deal that is in better alignment with long-term Paris Agreement goals. Here, the implications of the dramatic fall in economic output associated...

To build or not to build? : capital stocks and climate policy

Baldwin, Elizabeth; Cai, Yongyang; Kuralbaeva, Karlygash Z. - 2018

We investigate how irreversibility in "dirty" and "clean" capital stocks affects optimal climate policy, from both theoretical and numerical perspectives. An increasing carbon tax will reduce investments in assets that pollute, and so reduce emissions in the short term: our "irreversibility...
