Abstract

The majority of estimates of the social cost of carbon use preference parameters calibrated to data for North America and Europe. We here use statistically representative data for attitudes to time and risk across the world. The social cost of carbon is substantially higher in the global north than in the south. The difference is more pronounced if we count people rather than countries.

实现具有国家特色的碳社会成本

对碳的社会成本的估计大多采用北美和欧洲的偏好参数。在此，我们使用具有统计代表性的全球时间和风险态度数据。碳的社会成本在全球北方远远高于南方。如果我们计算的是人而不是国家，这种差异会更加明显。

期刊介绍： Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
