Friday, October 26, 10:15 - 12:00 at the Pufendorf Institute, Sölvegatan 2, Lund
Seminar leader: Erik Wengström, Economics
In this seminar, Erik will present economic research on intergenerational fairness issues. More specifically, he will present an ongoing project that addresses the question of how future generations are likely to respond to the behavior of earlier generations. For example, do increased climate-change actions of an earlier generation spur increased actions of future generations? The project will also study how such reciprocal behavior is affected by uncertainty about future environmental costs as well as inter- and intra-generational income inequalities. Finally, the project will analyze implications of our economic experiments on climate economic models and climate change policy.
