Hello, welcome to my page!
I'm part of a group that will be focusing on the social cost of carbon. My groupmates are Meredith, Jeremy and Rahul.
Wikipedia pages we will be working on:[edit]
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_tax#United_States
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_tax#Social_cost_of_carbon
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics_of_climate_change_mitigation#Discount_rates
Our planned contributions are listed below:[edit]
In carbon tax page under United States tab[edit]
- We will talk about the internal price of carbon used by companies in the United States.
- Companies in the United States use their own cost of carbon to anticipate future government regulations which may levy an internal price of carbon on their business while planning their operations
- Timeline of how social cost of carbon is being implemented in the United States.
In carbon tax page under social cost of carbon tab[edit]
- We will talk about the Dynamic Integrated Climate Economy Model (DICE)
- We hope to connect the DICE model and its implications to how countries set the social cost of carbon
In economics of climate change mitigation page under discount rates tab[edit]
- Elaborate more on what a high and low discount rate entails.
- Effect on current and future generations
- Assumptions made to support a high or low discount rate.
