英文摘要 | Social cost of carbon is the cornerstone of optimal climate policy design and implementation, yet the large uncertainties remain since the first published work. This meta-analysis demonstrates that estimates of the social cost of carbon have increased over time, correcting for inflation and emission year. Estimates of the social cost of carbon are the yardstick for climate policy targets. However, there is great uncertainty and we do not know how estimates have evolved over time. Here I present a meta-analysis of published estimates showing that the social cost of carbon has increased as knowledge about climate change accumulates. Correcting for inflation and emission year and controlling for the discount rate, kernel density decomposition reveals a non-stationary distribution. In the past 10 years, estimates of the social cost of carbon have increased from US$9 per tCO(2) to US$40 per tCO(2) for a high discount rate and from US$122 per tCO(2) to US$525 per tCO(2) for a low discount rate. This trend is statistically significant if sensitivity analyses are discounted and paper quality weighted. Actual carbon prices are below its estimated value almost everywhere and should therefore go up. |
