This review explains the science behind the drive for global net zero emissions and why this
is needed to halt the ongoing rise in global temperatures. We document how the concept of …

BACKGROUND Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is increasing, driven by widespread
antibiotic use. The wide availability of effective antibiotics is under threat, jeopardizing …

A rapidly growing body of research applies panel methods to examine how temperature,
precipitation, and windstorms influence economic outcomes. These studies focus on …

Very little. A plethora of integrated assessment models (IAMs) have been constructed and
used to estimate the social cost of carbon (SCC) and evaluate alternative abatement …

Equilibrium climate sensitivity characterizes the Earth's long-term global temperature
response to increased atmospheric CO2 concentration. It has reached almost iconic status …

In recent articles I have argued that integrated assessment models (IAMs) have flaws that
make them close to useless as tools for policy analysis. IAM-based analyses of climate …

An estimate of the social cost of carbon (SCC) is crucial to climate policy. But how should we
estimate the SCC? A common approach uses an integrated assessment model (IAM) to …

Faced by the realities of a changing climate, decision makers in a wide variety of
organizations are increasingly seeking quantitative predictions of regional and local climate …

Modelling the economics of climate change is daunting. Many existing methodologies from
social and physical sciences need to be deployed, and new modelling techniques and ideas …

With climate change as prototype example, this paper analyzes the implications of structural
uncertainty for the economics of low-probability, high-impact catastrophes. Even when …
