Nordhaus and Joseph BoyerCambridge, MA MIT Pressc20001 online resource (245 p.)Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-262-14071-3 Includes bibliographical references (p. [217]-226) and index.This book presents in detail a pair of models of the economics of climate change. The models, called RICE-99 (for the Regional Dynamic Integrated model of Climate and the Economy) and DICE-99 (for the Dynamic Integrated Model of Climate and the Economy) build on the authors' earlier work, particularly their RICE and DICE models of the early 1990's. Humanity is risking the health of the natural environment through a myriad of interventions, including the atmospheric emission of trace gases such as carbon dioxide, the use of ozone-depleting chemicals, the engineering of massive land-use changes, and the destruction of the habitats of many species. It is imperative that we learn to protect our common geophysical and biological resources. Although scientists have studied greenhouse warming for decades, it is only recently that society has begun to consider the economic, political, and institutional aspects of environmental intervention. To do so raises formidable challenges of data modeling, uncertainty, international coordination, and institutional design. Attempts to deal with complex scientific and economic issues have increasingly involved the use of models to help analysts and decision makers understand likely future outcomes as well as the implications of alternative policies. This book presents in detail a pair of models of the economics of climate change. The models, called RICE-99 (for the Regional Dynamic Integrated model of Climate and the Economy) and DICE-99 (for the Dynamic Integrated Model of Climate and the Economy) build on the authors' earlier work, particularly their RICE and DICE models of the early 1990's. They can help policy makers design better economic and environmental policies.Global warmingEconomic aspectsMathematical modelsEconomic developmentEnvironmental aspectsMathematical modelsElectronic books.Global warmingEconomic aspectsMathematical models.Economic developmentEnvironmental aspectsMathematical models.363.738/74Nordhaus William D106474Boyer Joseph1969-999374MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452244803321Warming the world2293075UNINA
