Do Intensity Targets Control Uncertainty Better than Quotas? Conditions, Calibrations, and Caveats

Do Intensity Targets Control Uncertainty Better than Quotas? Conditions, Calibrations, and Caveats

Among policy instruments to control future greenhouse gas emissions, well-calibrated general intensity targets are known to lead to lower uncertainty on the amount of abatement than emissions quotas (Jotzo and Pezzey 2004). The authors test whether this result holds in a broader framework, and wheth...
