Title: The coupling of climate and economic dynamics
Description: "This book reviews the different approaches used to model dynamic interactions between climate and economies and proposes new avenues of research in this domain. In fourteen chapters this book deals with various aspects of the building of integrated assessment models, either by coupling economic growth and climate change modules, or using mathematical models of viability or dynamic game theory to represent the interactions between the world regions concerned. It also focuses on more specific economic equilibrium models that can be used to assess international climate policies and it addresses the modeling of impacts of climate change in Switzerland as a test region."--BOOK JACKET.
