Optimal Global Dynamic Carbon Abatement
... It is almost a commonplace in the economics of climate change that a good response to the challenges posed by global warming would be a harmonized, global tax on greenhouse gas emissions that increases over time, roughly with the discount rate (e.g. Nordhaus, 2007).
