Risk Aversion, Intergenerational Equity and Climate Change
The paper investigates a climate-economy model with an iso-elastic welfare function in which one parameter γ measures relative risk-aversion and a distinct parameter ρ measures resistance to intertemporal substitution. We show both theoretically and numerically that climate policy responds differently to variations in the two parameters. In particular, we show that higher γ but lower ρ leads to...
متن کاملEquity, International Trade and Climate Policy
The literature of welfare-maximising greenhouse gas emission reduction strategies pays remarkably little attention to equity. This paper introduces various ways to consider efficiency and equity simultaneously. Lower (higher) discount rates lead to higher (lower) emission reduction. Higher (lower) inequity aversion leads to higher (lower) emission abatement, unless one also considers the negati...
متن کاملEquity in forecasting climate: can science save the world’s poor?
For the past ten years, the role of seasonal climate forecasting (SCF) in decreasing the vulnerability of poor populations in many countries to climate variability and change has been discussed in the scholarly literature and policy circles. This paper reviews the literature on climate forecasting information and explores three main equity implications of SCF use. First, while investment in SCF...
متن کاملGlobal climate change and the equity-efficiency puzzle
There is a broad consensus that the costs of abatement of global climate change can be reduced efficiently through the assignment of quota rights, and through international trade in these rights. But there is no consensus on whether the initial assignment of emission permits can affect the Pareto-optimal global level of abatement. This paper provides some insight into the equity-efficiency puzz...
متن کاملClimate change, poverty, and intragenerational equity: the national level
This paper discusses seven propositions: • climate change and poverty are linked by the issue of vulnerability, • the hardest equity issues arise because of qualitative differences in the nature of climate change and policy impacts on the poor and those who are better off, • poverty cannot be understood in terms of lack of goods or income, or even basic needs, but must rather be understood in t...
