This paper studies the formation of international climate coalitions by heterogeneous countries. Countries rationally predict the consequences of their membership decisions in climate negotiations. We offer an approach to characterise the equilibrium number of coalitions and their number of...

GoBs are goods for which agents have non-monotonic preferences: more is beneficial only up to an ideal level, beyond which additional quantities become undesirable. We analyze public GoBs (non-excludable and non-rival) through a theoretical framework applicable to diverse contexts such as solar...

adaptation. Here, we provide a framework for analyzing the multiple interlinkages between climate change and human capital and … adaptation, on human capital across the life cycle. The framework presents two channels through which human capital is affected … of the life cycle. For mitigation and adaptation, we find that while these are overall clearly beneficial, they are also …
