We argue against the widespread use of "NPV sensitivity analysis". Feedback from academics and practitioners has led to a substantive revision of the working paper. Comments welcome on the update version! Link below. @MoritzDrupp @MarkFreemanYork @ben_d_groom #EconTwitter

My pal @MarkFreemanYork talks to the energy monitor about social discounting and climate policy in the context of Biden and the new proposals for CBA and SCC in the US. energymonitor.ai/finance/reg…

Can a 2% “social discount rate” transform global climate policy?

The Biden administration has proposed a huge increase in the social cost of carbon. Others should too, say economists and philosophers.

New paper shows that while philosophers + economists support the same social discount rates, resulting in the same mitigation policy, this is for very different ethical + practical reasons. By @MarkFreemanYork @FrikkNesje @MoritzDrupp @ben_d_groom ➡️ow.ly/tMYC50OzimA

Very proud of this paper joint with @MoritzDrupp, @MarkFreemanYork and @ben_d_groom. We survey expert philosophers on their recommended social discount rates (SDR), compare recommendations to those offered by economists and assess the implications. nature.com/articles/s41558-0…

Tackle climate change and reap economic benefits, new report says

UN climate targets outlined in the Paris Agreement to keep global heating below two degrees Celsius make economic sense, a new study reveals.

How should we value returns to public projects that are in the distant future? Most experts agree on discount rates of around 2%, according to @MoritzDrupp, @MarkFreemanYork, @ben_d_groom, @FrikkNesje featured in aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.12…
