Climate Policy Curves: Linking Policy Choices to Climate Outcomes

Working draft, comments welcome!

Green Moral Hazards

Use the attention paid to the underlying environmental problem to actively invoke the opposite: 'inverse moral hazards'.

Declining crop yields limit the potential of bioenergy

Global-warming projections that rely on bioenergy strategies to offset carbon dioxide emissions could be unduly optimistic, according to a study that accounts for how climate change affects crop yields.

The Cost to Achieve Net-Zero

Business School Case

Improving the social cost of nitrous oxide

The social cost of nitrous oxide does not account for stratospheric ozone depletion. Doing so could increase its value by 20%. Links between nitrous oxide and other nitrogen pollution impacts could make mitigation even more compelling.

Social science research to inform solar geoengineering

Heat has larger impacts on labor in poorer areas

One additional day >32 °C (90 °F) lowers annual payroll by 0.04%, equal to 2.1% of average weekly earnings.

Economic impacts of tipping points in the climate system

We synthesize this emerging literature and provide unified, geophysically realistic estimates of the economic impacts of eight climate tipping points.

Recalculate the social cost of carbon

The science is ripe to update estimates of CO2 emissions costs. Calls to scrap the calculation are misguided.
