Discounting climate change (2008, background): “His piece was a response to the review of Stern (2006) that was published in Dasgupta (2007).”
A Review of the Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change (2007, background): “A particularly useful discussion of discounting issues is contained in Partha Dasgupta (2007).”
The Social Cost of Carbon: Trends, Outliers and Catastrophes (2008, unknown): “…2006) was published, provoking renewed interest in cost-benefit analyses of climate policy (Anderson 2007; Byatt et al. 2006; Carter et al. 2006; Dasgupta 2007; Dietz et al. 2007a, b; Hamid et al. 2007; Mendelsohn 2006; Nordhaus 2007a, b; Spash 2007; Stern and Taylor 2007; Tol 2006; Tol and…”
The Stern Review and its critics: economics at work in an interdisciplinary setting (2011, background): “To the critique of his h-value by Dasgupta (2007), Stern says that h can have two other roles that involve intra-generational distribution, namely that of intergenerational distribution and attitude to risk.”
Human rights, climate change, and discounting (2008, background): “For the responses which single out this issue as a key element in Stern’s Review see Dasgupta (2007), Mendelsohn (2006–2007, especially pp. 42–43), Nordhaus (2007); and Weitzman (2007).”
Developing a Social Cost of Carbon for US Regulatory Analysis: A Methodology and Interpretation (2013, background): “The literature generally adopts values forZ in the range of 0.5 to 3, with a clustering around 2 (Arrow 2007; Dasgupta 2007, 2008; Hall and Jones 2007; Nordhaus 2009; Szpiro 1986; Weitzman 2007, 2009).”
Economic Analysis for Ecosystem Service Assessments (2011, background): “…all of the fundamental reasons for discounting: pure time preference, the utility value of future increments in consumption and the extent to which it can be assumed that future consumption will be higher than consumption today (see, for example, Nordhaus 2007; Weitzman 2007; Dasgupta, 2007).”
On Modeling and Interpreting the Economics of Catastrophic Climate Change (2009, background): “It should be borne in mind that equation (6) is an annuitized version of an interest-rate formula being used here for discounting future climate changes that will play themselves out over a time scale of (say) two centuries.”
Discounting for Climate Change (2009, unknown): “Others argued that the Stern Review also included unusual assumptions about the curvature of the utility function (Dasgupta 2007;Weitzman 2007); these authors noted that this curvature affects the consumption discount rate as well as the aggregation between countries1 and alternative realizations…”
