Climate change: Behavioral responses from extreme events and delayed damages
通过实验室实验研究气候变化困境中延迟和随机损害如何影响合作行为，发现部分决策者不仅关注排放也关注实际损害，但延迟损害未削弱合作，却导致排放上升趋势。
Understanding how to sustain cooperation in the climate change global dilemma is crucial to mitigate its harmful consequences. Damages from climate change typically occur after long delays and can take the form of more frequent realizations of extreme and random events. These features generate a decoupling between emissions and their damages, which we study through a laboratory experiment. We find that some decision-makers respond to global emissions, as expected, while others respond to realized damages also when emissions are observable. On balance, the presence of delayed/stochastic consequences did not impair cooperation. However, we observed a worrisome increasing trend of emissions when damages hit with delay.
