Introduction to the Economics of Climate Change Policy

Reviews how economic models address a set of critical assumptions & their effects on greenhouse gas mitigation costs. Identifies 5 determinants that together explain the majority of differences in modeling cost estimates, & which can help policy-makers understand the projected costs of climate change (CC) policy: What level of greenhouse gas emissions are projected under current policies? What climate policies are assumed to be put in place to achieve emissions reductions? What assumptions are made about how advances in tech. might affect these emissions? And to what extent are environmental impacts of CC included?Weyant, John P. is the author of 'Introduction to the Economics of Climate Change Policy', published 2001 under ISBN 9780756709969 and ISBN 0756709962.
