Deep uncertainty and the transition to a low-carbon economy
The transformation of economies towards net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within very few decades will require substantial investments. However, the transition to a low-carbon economy exhibits a high degree of complexity and path dependency. Consequently, firms and investors systematically face deep uncertainty, a situation with no information about the probabilities of possible outcomes, where even the possible outcomes are not known. In t…
A focus on market imperfections can help governments to mobilize private investments in adaptation
Climate change requires significant adaptation of economies, and the largest part of most economies is composed of private sector actors. In this Viewpoint, we argue that it should not be the role of the public sector to cover the full costs of adaptation - which would also typically exceed government's fiscal space. Rather, we suggest that the public sector should set the right conditions to catalyse private investments in adaptation.While the s…
Taxing Externalities Under Financing Constraints
We consider an economy where production generates externalities, which can be reduced by additional firm level expenditures. This requires firms to raise outside financing, leading to deadweight loss due to a standard agency problem vis-à-vis outside investors. Policy is constrained as firms are privately informed about their marginal cost of avoiding externalities. We first derive the optimal linear pollution tax, which is strictly lower than th…
