Tom Tietenberg, one of the leading economists working in the field
of environmental economics has edited a collection of the most
important articles and papers on global warming, which poses major
challenges to our economic and political institutions. In this
authoritative volume, leading economists bring unusual clarity and
insight to the process of understanding these challenges and meets
them with pragmatic solutions. Specific topics include: modelling
and responding to the unique types of risks posed by global
warming; estimating the cost of control and damages from global
warming, as well as deriving optimum solutions; debating the
appropriate role for discounting; estimating the value of
information to reduce the uncertainty; and examining the issues
associated with the use of two prominent policy approaches carbon
taxes and transferable carbon permits. Few challenges pose a
greater threat to our economic and political institutions than
global warming. Uncertainty about the consequences of continued
greenhouse gas emissions, the temporal and geographic separation of
costs and benefits, the potentially enormous cost of making the
wrong choices, and the necessity for (and the difficulties of)
international cooperation all contribute to the complexity and the
significance of the issue. In this book leading economists bring
unusual clarity and insight to the process of understanding these
challenges and meeting them with pragmatic solutions. Specific
topics covered include: modeling and responding to the unique types
of risks posed by global warming; estimating the costs of control
and damages from discounting, estimating the value of information
to reduce the uncertainty, and examining the issues associated with
the use of the two most prominent policy approaches - carbon taxes
and transferable carbon permits.
