Carbon pricing is a recurrent theme in debates on climate policy. Discarded at the 2009 COP Copenhagen, it remained part of deliberations for agreement subsequent years. As there still much misunderstanding about many reasons to implement global carbon price, ideological resistance against prospers. Here, we present main arguments pricing, stimulate fair and well‐informed discussion it. These include considerations that have received little attention so far. We stress reason use...
The integrated assessment models (IAMs) that economists use to analyze the expected costs and benefits of climate policies frequently suggest "optimal" policy is go slowly do relatively little in near term reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We trace this finding contestable assumptions limitations IAMs. For example, they typically discount future impacts from change at high rates. This practice may be appropriate for short-term financial decisions but its extension intergenerational...

In fisheries management—as in environmental governance more generally—regulatory arrangements that are thought to be helpful some contexts frequently become panaceas or, other words, simple formulaic policy prescriptions believed solve a given problem wide range of contexts, regardless their actual consequences. When this happens, management is likely fail, and negative side effects common. We focus on the case individual transferable quotas explore panacea mindset, set factors promote...
Abstract The question of how society is going to pay for restoration has received little open discussion. We review existing literature and examples explore two questions: How should ecological economic considerations be balanced in determining expenditures on projects? the substantial costs involved? discuss a number different techniques amount money allocate efforts, including ecosystem replacement costs, quantifying services, contingent valuation, surrogate market price techniques. then...
Empirical studies provide compelling evidence that economic agents do not adopt the complete range of energy‐efficient technologies are cost‐effective under prevailing prices and market conditions. Analysts commonly attribute this anomaly to use high discount rates in energy‐related decisions‐an interpretation is difficult reconcile with standard models rational choice. This paper recasts controversy from perspective theory finds failures related asymmetric information, bounded rationality,...
Abstract In deliberative valuation, a small group of selected persons explores the values that should guide collective decisions through process reasoned discourse. Proponents argue techniques enhance effectiveness and perceived legitimacy policy making by facilitating public participation. This paper outlines an approach to valuation is grounded in democratic theory, social psychology, cooperative game emphasizing applications monetary environmental services. The analysis suggests groups...
Recent contributions by Brookes (1990), Saunders (1992), and Inhaber (1994) argue that cost‐effective improvements in energy efficiency may, the long run, lead use to grow more rapidly than it would a world of fixed technologies. Since may be viewed as form technological change both reduces effective cost services stimulates economic activity, demand under some circumstances, rise even productivity improves. This paper examines this hypothesis using simple model distinguishes roles...
