This volume deals with the multifaceted and interdependent impacts
of climate change on society from the perspective of a broad set of
disciplines. The main objective of the book is to assess public and
private cost of climate change as far as quantifiable, while taking
into account the high degree of uncertainty. It offers new insights
for the economic assessment of a broad range of climate change
impact chains at a national scale. The framework presented in the
book allows consistent evaluation including mutual
interdependencies and macroeconomic feedback. This book develops a
toolbox that can be used across the many areas of climate impact
and applies it to one particular country: Austria.
This book addresses three big economic challenges from a dynamic
perspective: European integration, economic growth, and global
climate change. In the light of the recent crises of the European
Union (EU), the first part of the book deals with challenges to the
real, monetary and fiscal integration of the EU and required
institutional adjustments. The second part of the book addresses
fundamental challenges of advanced market economies like economic
growth and changes of technologies. The final part focuses on the
global challenge of climate change from an economic perspective and
discusses policy strategies for a successful mitigation of climate
change.

This book represents both a textbook and a monograph. Part I
entitled 'Basics' mainly contains textbook material and this is
also partly true for Part II. Here the precise de nition and
characterization of the not so well-known notion of interg-
erational ef ciency within Diamond's two-period overlapping
generations model gures prominently. In Part III, a renewable
natural resource is introduced in the log-linear Cobb-Douglas
overlapping generations model, and the ef ciency c- cepts developed
in Part II are applied. The balance among material for a textbook
und for a monograph is approximately even. In Part IV research
monograph ch- acteristics gain progressively prominence. While this
part dealing with intergene- tional equity in perfectly competitive
market economies presents already published work, the last part
focusing on harvest cost contains still unpublished work.

It is introductory in that utility and production functions are
functionally speci ed such that the interested reader can derive
explicit solutions to intertemporal general equilibria. However, we
do not primarily aim at enhancing the reader's skill of solving
general equilibrium models-we rather aim at prov- ing the tools for
coping with analytically much more advanced dynamic general
equilibriummodelswith renewable natural resources,published in
leading journals. This book emerged out of lectures of the rst
author within the master programs of the University of Life
Sciences in Vienna and at Karl-Franzens-University of Graz.
