Fixing long-term price paths for fossil energy – the optimal incentive for limiting global warming

The Long-Term Effect of State Renewable Energy Incentive Programs

Abstract: Renewable energy is praised for its environmental benefits and long run energy savings, however, for the average consumer, the up-front cost of this infrastructure deters investment. On the Federal and state level, incentive programs have been implemented to break down these initial barriers and give easier access to renewable energy. Studies have shown that these incentive programs h...

Aiming Higher: Advancing Public Social Insurance for Long-term Care to Meet the Global Aging Challenge; Comment on “Financing Long-term Care: Lessons From Japan”

Globally, aging populations are driving the demand for long-term care (LTC) services for a growing number of older people with disabilities or chronic illnesses. A key challenge for policy-makers in all countries is to find a comprehensive solution to financing LTC services to make them widely accessible, affordable, and equitable for all in need. In this commentary, we...

The Implications of Global Warming for Energy Production and Consumption

The zero discounting and maximin optimal paths in a simple model of global warming

Following Stollery (1998), we extend the Solow– Dasgupta–Heal model to analyze the e¤ects of global warming The rise of temperature is caused by the use of fossil resources so that the temperature level can be linked to the remaining stock of these resources. The rise of temperature a¤ects both productivity and utility. We characterize optimal solutions for the maximin and zero-discounting case...
