Prospect theory, mitigation and adaptation to climate change
Osberghaus, Daniel - 2013
Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges in current environmental policy. Appropriate policies intended to stimulate efficient adaptation and mitigation should not exclusively rely on the assumption of the homo oeconomicus, but take advantage of well-researched alternative...

On the sensitivity of collective action to uncertainty about climate tipping points
Barrett, Scott; Dannenberg, Astrid - 2014
Previous research shows that collective action to avoid a catastrophic threshold, such as a climate "tipping point", is unaffected by uncertainty about the impact of crossing the threshold but that collective action collapses if the location of the threshold is uncertain. Theory suggests that...

Climate engineering under deep uncertainty and heterogeneity
Emmerling, Johannes; Manoussi, Vassiliki; Xepapadeas, … - 2016
Climate Engineering, and in particular Solar Radiation Management (SRM) has become a widely discussed climate policy option to study in recent years. However, its potentially strategic nature and unforeseen side effects provide major policy and scientific challenges. We study the role of the SRM...

A simple framework for climate-change policy under model uncertainty
Athanasoglou, Stergios; Bosetti, Valentina; Drouet, Laurent - 2016
We propose a novel framework for the economic assessment of climate-change policy. Our main point of departure from existing work is the adoption of a "satisficing", as opposed to optimizing, modeling approach. Along these lines, we place primary emphasis on the extent to which different...
