The general equilibrium model developed by Golosov et al. (2014), GHKT for short, is modified to allow for additional negative impacts of global warming on utility and productivity growth, mean reversion in the ratio of climate damages to production, labour-augmenting technical progress, and...

We analyse optimal abatement and carbon pricing strategies under a variety of economic, temperature and damage risks. Economic growth, convex damages and temperature-dependent risks of climatic tipping points lead to higher growth rates, but gradual resolution of uncertainty lowers them. For...

Die Dissertation fokussiert auf suboptimale, aber politisch realistische(re) Klimaschutzmassnahmen. Sie benutzt analytische und kalibrierte numerische Modelle, um das Grüne Paradoxon, CO2 leakage und die Frage zwischen einer preislichen (CO2-Steuern) und einer mengenmässigen...
