Josh Burke examines the costs, opportunities, advantages and disadvantages of different carbon capture and negative emissions technologies. Read more
The permafrost carbon feedback (PCF) is not currently taken into account in economic assessments of climate change, yet it could... Read more
Integrated assessment models (IAMs) are the main tools for combining physical and economic analyses to develop and assess climate change... Read more
We present an integrated model of the direct consequences of climate change on land use, and the indirect effects of... Read more
Paper demonstrates the potential benefits of model confirmation exercises for policy applications, demonstrating that the economic growth model used by a prominent BC-IAM had little predictive power over the 20th century. Read more
This paper examines the question of whether fighting climate change has the additional advantage of reducing the aggregate risk borne by future generations. This raises the question of the ‘climate beta’, i.e. the elasticity of climate damages with respect to a change in aggregate consumption. Read more

This paper studies the economic effects of long-term and gradual climate change, over a period of 250 years, when people have time to adapt. Read more
This study uses a number of Integrated Assessment Models to determine what the optimal financial transfers between high-income and developing economies would be if climate mitigation costs were to be divided equally across regions. Read more
