Maximilian Auffhammer of University of California, Berkeley reviews, 'Climate Change and Common Sense: Essays in Honour of Tom Schelling' by Tom Schelling. The Econlit abstract of this book begins: 'Thirteen papers, written in honor of Tom Schelling, analyze the fundamental political and economic processes driving climate change policy. Papers discuss norms, conventions, and institutions to cope with climate change; credible commitments, focal points, and tipping-the strategy of climate treaty design; tipping climate negotiations; bridging reality and the theory of international environmental agreements; the cost of ambiguity and robustness in international pollution control; time and the generations; discounting while treating generations equally; emerging markets and climate change-Mexican stand-off or low-carbon race?; moving U.S. climate policy forward-whether carbon taxes are the only good alternative; carbon taxes and the green paradox; derivative markets for pollution permits and incentives to innovate; development and climate adaptation; and Schelling's conjecture on climate and development-a test. Hahn is Professor of Economics in the Sustainable Consumption Institute at the University of Manchester and Director of Economics in the Smith School at the University of Oxford.
