We propose a model to reconcile the theory of inter-temporal non-renewable resource depletion with well-known stylized facts concerning the exploitation of exhaustible resources such as oil. Our approach introduces geological constraints into a Hotelling type extraction-exploration model. We...

This article extends one of the primary models used for calculating the Social Cost of Carbon (SCC), DICE, to account for uncertainty regarding economic damages per additional warming degree and uncertainty over the temperature response from doubling atmospheric CO2. Coupled with consumption...

Climate targets are key for focusing global efforts to limit anthropogenic climate change. Yet, they induce a time-consistency problem in that current decision makers set (ambitious) targets and leave costly abatement to future generations. We develop a reduced-form climate-economy integrated...
