| Managing Climate Change |
| Issue edited by: Roger Guesnerie, College of France and (Lord) Nicholas Stern, London School of Economics |
| Wiley-Blackwell is pleased to announce a special issue of the Journal of Public Economic Theory on Managing Climate Change. This issue is edited by two internationally renowned economists who combine the expertise of economic theory - with its application to issues at the forefront of climate change - and its economic consequences. Editors Roger Guesnerie and (Lord) Nicholas Stern are passionate about their subject and have sought out leading researchers in the area of climate change to contribute to the issue. The contributors include, among others, Professors William Nordhaus of Yale University, Martin Weitzman of Harvard University, Ujjayant Chakravorty, and Thomas Sterner. The articles in the issue address the timely and undeniably important question of how to evaluate the potential consequences of current economic decisions. Intertemporal values will have a profound effect on any assessment of the issues and on the shaping of policy and must be examined directly. A central issue is the probability of catastrophic future events and how these should be taken into account. Innovation and radical technological change must be at the heart of emissions reductions, but policy to foster the change must be carefully crafted - the pace and time path of emissions reductions are crucial, not just the eventual flow. |
