Aldy, Joseph E. - 2015

A natural outcome of the emerging pledge and review approach to international climate change policy is interest in comparing mitigation effort among countries. Domestic publics and stakeholders will have an interest in knowing if peer countries are undertaking (or planning to undertake)...

Public policies and long-run growth in a model with environmental degradation

Bonatti, Luigi; Lorenzetti, Lorenza Alexandra - 2022

We study how public policies affects an economy where production emits pollutants and investment in productive assets raises the economy’s overall productivity. We explore two hypotheses about how the accumulation of pollutants affects human well-being. Under the first one, there is no limit...

Climate Change Calls for Global, Comprehensive and Integrative Risk Management

Mastrojeni, Grammenos - 2014

An unbalance in nature, caused by mankind, could trigger an unbalance in human society that will re-impact nature and paralyze rational human response, initiating a potentially global, growing, catastrophic cycle. This article intends to contribute to the conception of a standard analysis...

On a World Climate Assembly and the Social Cost of Carbon

Weitzman, Martin - 2018

conceptually useful allegory of a futuristic "World Climate Assembly" (WCA) that votes for a single worldwide price on carbon … derives fresh insights and new simple formulas that relate each emitter's most-preferred world price of carbon to the world … "Social Cost of Carbon" (SCC), and further relates the WCA-voted world price of carbon to the world SCC. I argue that the WCA …

'The Voracity Effect' and Climate Change : The Impact of Clean Technologies

Benchekroun, Hassan - 2013

In the absence of a successful international cooperative agreement over the control of emissions there is a growing interest in the role that clean technologies may play to alleviate the climate change problem. Within a non-cooperative transboundary pollution game, we investigate, analytically...

A Tax-Based Approach to Slowing Global Climate Change

Aldy, Joseph E. - 2013

In this paper, we discuss the design of carbon dioxide (CO2) taxes at the domestic and international level and the choice of taxes versus a cap-and-trade system. A strong case can be made for taxes on uncertainty, fiscal, and distributional grounds, though this critically hinges on policy...

Understanding the linkages between climate change and inequality in the United States

Avtar, Ruchi; Blickle, Kristian; Chakrabarti, Rajashri; … - 2021

We conduct a review of the existing academic literature to outline possible links between climate change and inequality in the United States. First, researchers have shown that the impact of both physical and transition risks may be uneven across location, income, race, and age. This is driven...

Five Years After the Adoption of the Paris Agreement, Are Climate Change Considerations Reflected in Mining Contracts?

Mebratu-Tsegaye, Tehtena; Toledano, Perrine; Dietrich … - 2021

Domestic laws are the ideal legal instrument to regulate the mining sector’s contribution to climate change mitigation and adaptation. Even so, as a stop-gap-measure, governments may consider updating model mining development agreements (MMDAs) or negotiating climate-related contractual...

The Climate in Climate Economics

Folini, Doris; Kubler, Felix; Malova, Aleksandra; … - 2021

We develop a generic and transparent calibration strategy for climate models used in economics.The key idea is to choose the free model parameters to match the output of large-scale Earth System Models, which are run on pre-defined future emissions scenarios and collected in the Coupled Model...
