There is an increasing demand for putting a shadow price on the environment to guide public policy and incentivize private behaviour. In practice, setting that price can be extremely difficult as uncertainties abound. There is often uncertainty not just about individual parameters but about the structure of the problem and how to model it. A further complication is the second-best nature of real environmental policy-making. In this paper, we propose some practical steps for setting prices in the face of these difficulties, drawing on the example of climate change. We consider how to determine the overall target for environmental protection, how to set shadow prices to deliver that target, and how we can learn from the performance of policies to revise targets and prices. Perhaps most significantly, we suggest that estimates of the marginal cost of environmental protection, rather than the marginal benefit, will often provide the more consistent and robust prices for achieving targets.

A political science analysis of the feasibility and sustainability of carbon pricing, drawing from North American, European, and Asian case studies. Climate change, economists generally agree, is best addressed by putting a price on the carbon content of fossil fuels—by taxing carbon, by cap-and-trade systems, or other methods. But what about the politics of carbon pricing? Do political realities render carbon pricing impracticable? In this book, Barry Rabe offers the first major political science analysis of the feasibility and sustainability of carbon pricing, drawing upon a series of real-world attempts to price carbon over the last two decades in North America, Europe, and Asia. Rabe asks whether these policies have proven politically viable and, if adopted, whether they survive political shifts and managerial challenges over time. The entire policy life cycle is examined, from adoption through advanced implementation, on a range of pricing policies including not only carbon taxes and cap-and-trade but also such alternative methods as taxing fossil fuel extraction. These case studies, Rabe argues, show that despite the considerable political difficulties, carbon pricing can be both feasible and durable.

It has been a buzzword for decades and gained the title of a global megatrend. With many endorsing and others discrediting its importance, what are the real economics of corporate social responsibility? How do we measure sustainability in corporations and who does it benefit? Is any effort appreciated by the market and the public? Is CSR merely in fashion or does it have a concrete place in a quantitative science such as finance? These are some of the questions this book deals with. We discuss the shift from a shareholder-oriented business world towards a stakeholder-oriented system and explore how CSR fairs with the traditional financial theories and corporate law. A new view of CSR sees it as a means to reconciliate the conundrum “shareholders or stakeholders” and gives a paradigm that combines the two. Furthermore, we move past the current belief that investors inject capital into more sustainable corporations while sacrificing returns and investigate the role of sustainability in a firm’s risk profile. What if investors gain less out of responsible investments because they risk less? In the second part of the book, we test how real market actors respond to corporate social performance. We look into the potential of CSR to be incorporated in risk valuations as performed by credit rating agencies, the debt market’s investors and corporate management itself. What we discover is a complex but intriguing reality that offers bright new horizons for corporations worldwide.

At a time of increasingly rapid environmental deterioration and climate change, sustainability is one of the most important issues facing the world. Can we create a sustainable society? What would that mean? How should we set about doing it? How can we bring about such a profound change in the way things are organized? This text tackles these questions directly. It covers: historical development of the concept of sustainability; contemporary debates about how to achieve it; and obstacles and the prospects for overcoming them. This new fully revised edition covers the latest on the climate change front, particularly the advances in scientific understanding and political awareness of climate change. Other updates include more recent economic analyses, particularly the Stern Report, and the global shift away from faith in markets over the past five years.
