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...

Climate activism favors pro-environmental consumption

Marini, Marco; Nocito, Samuel - 2023

We investigate whether climate activism favors pro-environmental consumption by examining the impact of Fridays for Future (FFF) protests in Italy on second-hand automobile transactions in the strike-affected areas. Leveraging data on 10 million automobile transactions occurring before and after...
