    • Costs of Climate Mitigation Policies 

      Chen, Y.-H.H.; Babiker, M.; Paltsev, S.; Reilly, J. (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2016-03)
      The wide range of cost estimates for stabilizing climate is puzzling to policy makers as well as researchers. Assumptions about technology costs have been studied extensively as one reason for these differences. Here, we ...

    • Scenarios of Global Change: Integrated Assessment of Climate Impacts 

      Paltsev, S.; Sokolov, A.; Chen, H.; Gao, X.; Schlosser, A.; e.a. (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2016-02)
      Using the MIT Integrated Global System Modeling (IGSM) framework, we assess the climate impacts of emission scenarios exhibiting global mean surface temperatures ranging between 2.4°C and 4.3°C above pre-industrial by 2100. ...

    • Modeling Uncertainty in Climate Change: A Multi-Model Comparison 

      Gillingham, K.; Nordhaus, W.; Anthoff, D.; Blanford, G.; Bosetti, V.; e.a. (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2015-12)
      The economics of climate change involves a vast array of uncertainties, complicating both the analysis and development of climate policy. This study presents the results of the first comprehensive study of uncertainty in ...
