  • Assessing “Dangerous Climate Change”

    Open AccessJeffrey E Hansen, James Hansen et al.ARTICLEPLoS ONE2013

    We assess climate impacts of global warming using ongoing observations and paleoclimate data. We use Earth's measured energy imbalance, paleoclimate data, and simple representations of the global carbon cycle and temperature to define emission reductions needed to stabilize climate and avoid potentially disastrous impacts on today's young people, future generations, and nature. A cumulative industrial-era limit of ∼500 GtC fossil fuel emissions a…

  • Limitations of integrated assessment models of climate change

    Open AccessFarrell Ackerman, Frank Ackerman et al.ARTICLEClimatic Change2009

    The integrated assessment models (IAMs) that economists use to analyze the expected costs and benefits of climate policies frequently suggest that the “optimal” policy is to go slowly and to do relatively little in the near term to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We trace this finding to the contestable assumptions and limitations of IAMs. For example, they typically discount future impacts from climate change at relatively high rates. This prac…

    Farrell Ackerman, Frank AckermanARTICLEJournal of Economic Methodology2002Cited by: 15References: 6

    More than 25 years after the discovery that the equilibrium point of a general equilibrium model is not necessarily either unique or stable, there is still a need for an intuitively comprehensible explanation of the reasons for this discovery. Recent accounts identify two causes of the finding of instability: the inherent difficulties of aggregation, and the individualistic model of consumer behaviour. The mathematical dead end reached by general…

  • Why Do We Recycle

    Frank AckermanBOOKWhy Do We Recycle?1996

    In Why Do We Recycle? Frank Ackerman examines the arguments for and against recycling, focusing on the debate surrounding the use of economic mechanisms to determine the value of recycling. Based on previously unpublished research conducted by the Tellus Institute, a nonprofit environmental research group in Boston, Massachusetts, Ackerman presents an alternative view of the theory of market incentives, challenging the notion that setting appropr…

    Farrell Ackerman, Frank Ackerman et al.ARTICLEMonthly Review1974Cited by: 1

    A recent TV commercial has a little girl tell us how important it is to save energy. The message is clear: her future depends on our frugality. The sponsor is Texaco. In another ad, a woman at the blackboard shows housewives that by thinking ahead they can do their errands in a single trip and save gas. The ad is sponsored by Exxon—Exxon cares. Still another ad has a man from the electric company explain that running your dishwasher only half ful…
