Event Description

How can economic policy听be used to address global warming?听The first lecture will cover the basic natural-science background, collected into a set of important 鈥渟tylized facts鈥�. Taken together, these facts strongly suggest that we should limit the emissions of greenhouse gases significantly, but leave open how to best achieve this goal. The second lecture will address the 鈥渉ow鈥� and argue that economic analysis offers very useful tools to this end. It will thus use these tools to compare the pros and cons of different kinds of policy suggestions and end with a discussion of the climate policy strategies adopted in the EU and in the U.S.
