Modified Ramsey Discounting for Climate Change

Tol, Richard S.J. - 2013

The Ramsey rule for the consumption rate of discount assumes a transfer of money of a (representative) agent at one point in time to the same agent at another point in time. Climate policy (implicitly) transfers money not just over time but also between agents. I propose three alternative...

Climate policy under fat-tailed risk: An application of dice

Hwang, In Chang; Reynès, Frédéric; Tol, Richard S. J. - 2011

Uncertainty plays a significant role in evaluating climate policy, and fattailed uncertainty may dominate policy advice. Should we make our utmost effort to prevent the arbitrarily large impacts of climate change under deep uncertainty? In order to answer to this question we propose an new way...
