The economics (or lack thereof) of aerosol geoengineering (2009, background): “5) can be extrapolated into the future (cf. Nordhaus 2007), does not consider cases where the per-capita consumption would decrease for extended periods of time (cf. Tol and Yohe 2007).”
Targets for global climate policy: an overview (2013, unknown): “See also Nordhaus (2011), Tol (2003), Tol and Yohe (2006, 2007) and Weitzman (2007, 2009a).”
The Economic Effects of Climate Change (2009, background): “…medians or modes of these studies is inadequate because it does not give a fair sense of the uncertainty surrounding these estimates—it is particularly hard to discern the right tail of the distribution, which may dominate the policy analysis (Tol, 2003; Tol and Yohe, 2007a; Weitzman, forthcoming).”
