This important collection embodies the author's pioneering and
on-going efforts to incorporate equity and efficiency principles
into the economics of climate change policy. It represents a
valuable compendium of work, both previously published and
original, the range of which is not otherwise readily accessible.
Adam Rose was one of the first both to identify the central role of
equity among nations and regions in addressing greenhouse gas (GHG)
mitigation and to quantify many equity principles so that they
could be incorporated into formal models. Comprising classic
explorations into GHG emission trading design with respect to
burden-sharing, borrowing and banking, and political constraints,
the papers contained in this volume provide guidance on coalition
choices for individual states of the US and partnership choices for
developing countries involved in the Clean Development Mechanism
today and in emission allowance trading in the future. The impacts
of mitigation policy across industries and socioeconomic groups are
also analysed, using computable general equilibrium models to
examine the economic implications of carbon taxes, fuel taxes,
tradable emission permits, and strict regulation. In addition, the
book establishes a firm grounding for policy analysis by providing
a basic understanding of the carbon cycle, drivers of GHG
emissions, and some economic impacts of climate change. The
Economics of Climate Change Policy will be of great interest and
value to academics and students of environmental economics and
policy and will be welcomed by environmental policy-makers involved
in climate change issues at the local, regional, national and
international level.
