We use a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model of integrated climate and economy (DSICE) to account for abrupt and irreversible climate change. We model a climate shock in the form of a stochastic tipping point. We investigate the impact of the tipping point externality on optimal...

This paper introduces a dynamic stochastic integrated model of climate and economy (DSICE), and a numerical dynamic programming algorithm for its solution. More specifically, we solve an example with annual time periods, a six hundred year horizon, and shocks to the economic and climate system....
