The impact of climate conditions on economic production. Evidence from a global panel of regions (2020, background): “The poor theoretical and empirical foundation for such damage functions has widely been criticized (Pindyck, 2013; Farmer et al., 2015; Moore and Diaz, 2015; Stern, 2016; National Academies of Sciences and Medicine, 2017).”
100% Clean and Renewable Wind, Water, and Sunlight All-Sector Energy Roadmaps for 139 Countries of the World (2017, background): “The SCC of emissions in a given year is also likely to increase over time as GDP, atmospheric GHG levels, and average temperatures increase (Ackerman and Stanton, 2012; Moore and Diaz, 2015).”
Flexibility mechanisms and pathways to a highly renewable US electricity future (2016, background): “Based on a recently updated SCC (social cost of carbon) value [64], this CO2 reduction alone equates to an avoided health and environmental costs of about 200 billion 2006USD/year.”
A Third Wave in the Economics of Climate Change (2015, background): “These parameters are calibrated to other estimates of possible economic damages from temperature increases, but there is ongoing debate about the functional form that is suitable (Moore and Diaz 2015), or even whether this can be captured by a scalar function of the global mean temperature.”
Tipping elements and climate–economic shocks: Pathways toward integrated assessment (2016, background): “Some damages primarily affect the level of these factors, which is the standard assumption in most IAMs; others affect growth rates and could lead to vastly larger long-run damages [Dell et al., 2012; Heal and Park, 2013; Burke et al., 2015; Moore and Diaz, 2015].”
