Abstract
Robert Mendelsohn of Yale School of the Environment, Department of Economics, and Yale School of Management reviews “Climate Future: Averting and Adapting to Climate Change” by Robert S. Pindyck. The Econlit abstract of this book begins: “Explores the extent and nature of the uncertainty of climate change's impact on the economy and society, promoting the argument that climate policy should focus on adaptation in preparation for the unlikelihood of sufficiently reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”
耶鲁大学环境学院、经济系和管理学院的Robert Mendelsohn评论了Robert S. Pindyck的《气候的未来:避免和适应气候变化》。这本书的Econlit摘要是这样开头的:“探讨了气候变化对经济和社会影响的不确定性的程度和性质,促进了气候政策应侧重于适应的论点,以准备充分减少温室气体排放的可能性。”
期刊介绍:
Commencing in 1969, the Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) serves as a vital resource for economists, offering a means to stay informed about the extensive literature in the field. Each JEL issue features commissioned, peer-reviewed survey and review articles, book reviews, an annotated bibliography categorizing new books by subject, and an annual index of dissertations from North American universities.
