Title Of Article :
Distributional biases in the analysis of climate change
Latin Abstract :
The economic analysis of global warming is dominated by models based on optimal growth theory. These representative-agent models have an intrinsic distributional bias in favor of the rich. The bias is compounded by the use of ‘revenue-neutrality’ in the allocation of emission permits. The result is mitigation recommendations that are biased downwards.
