The paper reports the result of an experimental game on asset integration and risk taking. We find evidence that … winnings in earlier rounds affect risk taking in subsequent rounds, but no evidence that real life wealth outside the … experiment affects risk taking. We find some evidence of imitation of the risk taking behavior of others that is distinct from …

We analyse bidding behaviour in auctions when risk-averse buyers bid for a good whose value is risky. We show that when … risk in the valuations increases, DARA bidders will reduce their bids by more than the appropriate increase in the risk … marginal utility of income increases with risk, so buyers are reluctant to bid so highly. We also show that precautionary …

We use the Euler equation to put forward a back-on-the-envelope rule for the global carbon tax based on a two-box carbon cycle with temperature lag, and a constant elasticity of marginal damages with respect to GDP. This tax falls with time impatience and intergenerational inequality aversion...

Unilateral second-best carbon taxes are analysed in a two-period, two-country model with international trade in final goods, oil and bonds. Acceleration of global warming resulting from a future carbon tax is large if the price elasticities of oil demand are large and that of oil supply is...

We build a two-sector dynamic general equilibrium model with one-sided substitutability between fossil carbon and biocarbon. One shock only, the discovery of the technology to use fossil fuels, leads to a transition from an inital pre-industrial phase to three following phases: a pure fossil...

Climate change mitigation programs classify two types of carbon offsets: Additional and non-additional. Additional offsets are offsets that correspond to actual reductions in emissions. In contrast, non-additional offsets are offsets that do not correspond to emissions reductions. These offsets...
