The Lessons of History
Will Durant
If climate change policies must be evaluated using discounted cost-benefit analysis, then analysts must do so using shadow markets in which natural resources and other environmental goods are first endowed to future generations through sustainability constraints or other hypothetical regulatory measures (Farley 2008). Modeling a sustainable market economy in this way will generate an interest rate that regulatory analysts might then use to adjust future costs and benefits when evaluating policies. Significant intergenerational policy issues like climate change regulation will look dramatically different when evaluated in this way.
