Distributional biases in the analysis of climate change
The economic analysis of global warming is dominated by models based on optimal growth theory. These representative-agent models have an intrinsic distributional bias in favor of the rich. The bias is compounded by the use of revenue-neutrality in the allocation of emission permits. The result is mitigation recommendations that are biased downwards.
