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 1990s. 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 1990s. They can help policy makers design better economic and environmental policies. 606 $aGlobal warming$xEconomic aspects$xMathematical models 606 $aEconomic development$xEnvironmental aspects$xMathematical models 610 $aECONOMICS/General 615 0$aGlobal warming$xEconomic aspects$xMathematical models. 615 0$aEconomic development$xEnvironmental aspects$xMathematical models. 676 $a363.738/74 700 $aNordhaus$b William D$0106474 701 $aBoyer$b Joseph$f1969-$01483624 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777578203321 996 $aWarming the world$93701816 997 $aUNINA
