Global Conflict or Cooperation over the CO2 Climate Impact?
研究估算了二氧化碳温室效应的区域长期收益和成本，发现北美可能受损而南美获益，暗示国际合作控制二氧化碳可能困难，但适应性调整更可行。
SUMMARY The objective of this study is to present some preliminary estimates of regional long run benefits and costs due to the CO 2 greenhouse effect within an economic framework that permits an appraisal of CO 2 policy control costs. We utilize a mathematical programming framework to solve for growth paths for North and South America both for CO 2 constrained (by an optimal emissions tax rate) and unconstrained scenarios. The possible losses to North America and gains to South America suggest international cooperation on CO 2 control policy may be very difficult. Cooperative adjustments to increased CO 2 may prove more feasible.
