Chapter 7. Quasi-experimental methods in environmental economics: Opportunities and challenges
Deschenes, Olivier; Meng, Kyle C. - In: Handbook of environmental economics : Volume 4, (pp. 285-332). 2018
This paper examines the application of quasi-experimental methods in environmental economics. We begin with two observations: (i) standard quasi-experimental methods, first applied in other microeconomic fields, typically assume unit-level treatments that do not spill over across units; (ii)...

Discounting and climate policy
Ploeg, Frederick van der - 2020
The social rate of discount is a crucial driver of the social cost of carbon (SCC), i.e. the expected present discounted value of marginal damages resulting from emitting one ton of carbon today. Policy makers should set carbon prices to the SCC using a carbon tax or a competitive permits...

Stated Preference Estimates of the Average Social Cost of Carbon
Ashenfarb, Matthew; Kotchen, Matthew J. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
This paper provides stated preference (SP) estimates of the average social cost of carbon (ASCC) for use in evaluation of the benefits and costs of climate policy. Based on a U.S. nationally representative survey, we find an average individual willingness-to-pay (WTP) of $1,116 per year to keep...

Evaluating the Key Drivers of the US Government's Social Cost of Carbon : A Model Diagnostic and Inter-Comparison Study of Climate Impacts in DICE, FUND, and PAGE
Diaz, Delavane - 2015
The social cost of carbon (SCC) is a monetary estimate of the climate change damages to society from an additional emission of carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>). US agencies are now required to apply the SCC to assess the potential benefits of CO<sub>2</sub> reductions in federal regulations, including rules and...
