Cooperation on climate-change mitigation : presented at CESifo Area Conference on Energy and Climate Economics, October 2015
Mason, Charles F.; Polasky, Alan Stephen; Tarui, Nori - 2016
We model countries' choice of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as a dynamic game. Emissions generate immediate benefits to the emitting country but also increase atmospheric GHG concentrations that negatively affect present and future welfare of all countries. Because there are no international...

Inequality and the Social Cost of Carbon
Anthoff, David; Emmerling, Johannes - 2016
This paper presents a novel way to disentangle inequality aversion over time from inequality aversion between regions in the computation of the Social Cost of Carbon. Our approach nests a standard efficiency based Social Cost of Carbon estimate and an equity weighted Social Cost of Carbon...

Technological transfers in global climate policy
Buchholz, Wolfgang; Dippl, Lisa; Eichenseer, Michael - 2015 - This version: September 30, 2015
Theoretical analysis and empirical evidence show that leadership behavior in climate policy through increased abatement efforts or international transfers cannot be expected to be very successful. In this paper we instead show that pioneering activities, which are based on green technological...

The political economy of multilateral aid funds
Simon, Jenny; Valasek, Justin - 2016
In 2014 over $60 billion was mobilized to help developing nations mitigate climate change, an amount equivalent to the GDP of Kenya. Interestingly, breaking from the traditional model of bilateral aid, donor countries distributed nearly fifty percent of their aid through multilateral aid funds...

The risk of policy tipping and stranded carbon assets
Ploeg, Frederick van der; Rezai, Armon - 2019 - Revised July 2019
If global warming is to stay below 2°C, there are four risks of assets stranding. First, substantial fossil fuel reserves will be stranded at the end of the fossil era. Second, this will be true for exploration capital too. Third, unanticipated changes in present or expected future climate...

The social cost of carbon and inequality : when local redistribution shapes global carbon prices
Kornek, Ulrike; Klenert, David; Edenhofer, Ottmar; … - 2019
The social cost of carbon is the central economic measure for aggregate climate change damages and functions as a metric for optimal carbon prices. Previous literature shows that inequality significantly influences the level of the social cost of carbon, but mostly neglects a major source of...

Climate change, migration and voice : an explanation for the immobility paradox
Beine, Michel; Noy, Ilan; Parsons, Christopher R. - 2019
This paper sheds light on the apparent paradox, wherein populations adversely affected by climatic conditions fail to migrate as much as would otherwise be expected. Drawing on Hirschman's treatise on Exit, Voice and Loyalty, we develop a simple model, which highlights the theoretical case for a...
