When Starting with the Most Expensive Option Makes Sense : Optimal Timing, Cost and Sectoral Allocation of Abatement Investment
This paper finds that it is optimal to start a long-term emission-reduction strategy with significant short-term abatement investment, even if the optimal carbon price starts low and grows progressively over time. Moreover, optimal marginal abatement investment costs differ across sectors of the eco...
