What really matters: Discounting, technological change and sustainable climate

Müller-Fürstenberger, Georg; Stephan, Gunter - 2010

This paper discusses the interplay between the choice of the discount rate, greenhouse gas mitigation and endogenous technological change. Neglecting the issue of uncertainty it is shown that the green golden rule stock of atmospheric carbon is uniquely determined, but is not affected by...

Trading off generations: Infinitely-lived agent versus OLG

Schneider, Maik T.; Traeger, Christian; Winkler, Ralph - 2010

The prevailing literature discusses intergenerational trade-offs predominantly in infinitely-lived agent models despite the finite lifetime of individuals. We discuss these trade-offs in a continuous time OLG framework and relate the results to the infinitely-lived agent setting. We identify...

Climate change and economic growth: Some critical reflections

Greiner, Alfred - 2022

Empirical studies analyzing the effect of climate change on output growth sometimes neglect economic variables. This yields a biased picture of the growth process and does not represent a good approximation of the true data generating process. Thus, the question arises how valid the results are...

Climate change, economic growth, and health

Ikefuji, Masako; Magnus, Jan R.; Sakamoto, Hiroaki - 2010

This paper studies the interplay between climate, health, and the economy in a stylized world with four heterogeneous regions, labeled 'West' (cold and rich), 'China' (cold and poor), 'India' (warm and poor), and 'Africa' (warm and very poor). We introduce health impacts into a simple integrated...

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...
