| Fisher, Anthony |  | Agricultural and Resource Economics, Professor | Anthony Fisher's current research projects focus on various aspects of the economics of global climate change. Decisions on control of greenhouse gas emissions need to be made today, under uncertainty about potential future damages from warming, and subject to rigidities or irreversibilities in both natural and economic systems. One set of studies looks at the implications of relevant uncertainties and irreversibilities for the timing of climate policy, i.e., how soon and how stringently should we cut back on emissions of greenhouse gases? Further, what general principles for environmental and other decisions under uncertainty emerge from this application to climate policy? |
