Mitigation and the geoengineering threat
Abstract
The paper introduces geoengineering in a strategic framework with asymmetric countries. The framework is simple but captures all the nuances of the problem. Asymmetric damages from climate change and geoengineering are studied. Contrary to the usual results, abatement levels can be inefficiently high with geoengineering. The framework can be expanded to analyze other climate change questions.
