We study the impact of loss-aversion and the threat of catastrophic damages, which we jointly call threshold concerns, on international environmental agreements. We aim to understand whether a threshold for dangerous climate change is as an effective coordination device for countries to overcome the global free-riding problem and abate sufficiently to avoid disaster. We focus on loss-averse cou...

The paper proposes a formal analysis of the ascriptive view of norms as resulting from pulling together Anderson’s reductionist approach, the analysis of counts-as, and a novel modal approach to the formal representation of languages in logic. This unifying attempt results in the definition of a new form of reduction of deontic logic based on countsas statements. Such result is discussed also i...
