New paper shows that while philosophers economists support the same social discount rates, resulting in the same mitigation policy, this is for very different ethical practical reasons. By @MarkFreemanYork @FrikkNesje @MoritzDrupp @ben_d_groom ➡️ow.ly/tMYC50OzimA

Very proud of this paper joint with @MoritzDrupp, @MarkFreemanYork and @ben_d_groom. We survey expert philosophers on their recommended social discount rates (SDR), compare recommendations to those offered by economists and assess the implications. nature.com/articles/s41558-0…

Updated guidance by NY State recommending to use a 1-3% social discount rate with a main value of 2% in parts based on our expert survey. @MoritzDrupp @ben_d_groom @MarkFreemanYork aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.12…
New York State adopts "value of carbon" guidance to help state agencies measure impacts of GHG emissions. Central values: $125/ton for carbon dioxide; $2,782/ton for methane; $44,727/ton for nitrous oxide. Discount rate: 2%. bit.ly/382KFsV

How should we value returns to public projects that are in the distant future? Most experts agree on discount rates of around 2%, according to @MoritzDrupp, @MarkFreemanYork, @ben_d_groom, @FrikkNesje featured in aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.12…
