1 Winter 2016 Department of Economics, Queen s University Economics 443 / 891: Economics of Climate Change Professor D. Garvie, 344 Dunning Hall, Office hours: Mondays 1B2pm or by appointment garvie@econ.queensu.ca Climate change is arguably the most complex and pressing environmental problem facing the global community today. At root, climate change is a result of the externality associated with greenhouse gas emissions. Unlike the classic pollution externality problem commonly studied in economics courses, climate change has several unique features which distinguishes it from other externalities. First, it is global in its causes and consequences. Second, the impacts of climate change are large, long-term and persistent. Third, uncertainties and risks in the economic impacts are pervasive. Finally, there is a serious risk of major, irreversible change with non-marginal economic effects. These features shape the economic analysis of climate change: it must be global, deal with long time horizons, have the economics of risk and uncertainty at its core, and examine the possibility of major, non-marginal changes. This course will analyse these features in four units: I. Introduction to the Science and Economics of Climate Change II. Climate Policy: Mitigation and Adaptation III. Cost-Benefit Analysis over Space, Time, and Risk IV. Global Climate Accord Course Requirements and Evaluation Assignment with policy memo 10% Midterm 20% Academic paper presentation with written report 25% Final examination 45% Assignment with Policy Memo and the Midterm The assignment includes problems, a simulation exercise and a policy memo. Collaboration with one other student is permitted on the problems and simulation part of the assignment only; submit one set of solutions for collaborative work. The policy memo is to be independent, individual work; each student is to prepare, write and submit a typed policy memo with proper citations to the onq Dropbox. Uploaded memos will be submitted to the Department turnitin checker. The midterm will examine material covered during the first part of the course including the assignment questions. There is no make-up midterm. If you miss the midterm, provide official documentation that explains your absence to avoid a grade of zero. Only the Queen s University Offcampus Physician s Form is accepted for documentation of medical reasons; self-declaration of illness forms not accepted. When a student has acceptable documentation, the final exam will be worth 65%. Devon Garvie All Rights Reserved 1 P age
2 Academic paper presentation and report Each student will present an approved academic paper to the class. The paper is to be a recently published microeconomics theory paper related to the economics of climate change (a very wide range of possibilities); the paper must be published after Jan 1, 2015 in a respected journal (top tier or top field journal). Students are required to a paper proposal to me for approval before class on Thursday, Jan 26; the should include a paragraph that briefly summarizes the paper topic and explains why you would like to present this paper as well as the proposed paper as an attachment. Presentations will be minutes. Your presentation as well as a typed summary report on the paper are due at class end. Presentation must include the following: Motivation for and key contribution(s) of the paper Brief overview of key results Construction and presentation of simple version of model ( teaching version of model) Discussion of generalized model Critical assessment of paper The list of presentation papers and dates will be posted onq. Papers to be presented are required readings for the course hence are examinable. Practice problems Practice problems covering material taught in the second half of the course will be posted onq. The problems are designed to increase understanding of course material by providing you with an opportunity to work through algebraic problems based on concepts and models learned in class as well as to work with Excel spreadsheet simulations with interactive graphics. Working through these practice problems carefully, alone or with study partners, will improve your performance on the final exam. While these problems will not be handed in or graded, they should be considered mandatory for successful completion of the course. Policy on phone / laptop use in the classroom Phones, laptops, and tablets may not be used at any time during lecture (unless you are writing notes). Please leave them in your bag to avoid time-consuming, and potentially embarrassing, interruptions during lecture. Additionally, you do not have my permission to record or take pictures during my lectures; attempting to do so will be treated as an infringement of my intellectual property and dealt with accordingly. Policy on Sharing Course Materials All materials provided to you in this course, including this document, include the statement Devon Garvie All Rights Reserved. Sharing course materials in any way, either by or by uploading them to websites, will be treated as an infringement of my intellectual property and dealt with accordingly.

3 Academic Integrity Queen s University s Regulation 1 on Academic Integrity will be strictly enforced. Students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the regulation and ensuring that their work conforms to the principles of academic integrity. Actions which contravene the regulation will be sanctioned. Attendance This course is NOT a textbook course hence successful completion of the course requires attending lectures. LECTURES WILL NOT BE POSTED. If you miss a lecture, ask to borrow a classmate=s notes. Course in Brief (approximate times) I.
