SkyShares: Modelling the Distributive and Economic Implications of a Future Global Emissions Budget

Owen Barder

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: The SkyShares model helps policy-makers explore a range of diffe ent policy scenarios. It enables users to relate a target limit for temperature change to a global emissions ceiling; to allocate this emissions budget across countries using different policy rules; and then to calculate the costs faced by each country of decarbonising to meet its emissions budget using estimated marginal abatement costs, depending in part on whether and how much carbon trading is allowed.
