Abstract and Keywords
In this chapter we sketch a dynamic framework within which the discussion on the macro economic effects of climate change take place. The problem setting is characterized by scientific uncertainties about the development of climate, potential large economic losses, and specific characteristics of human beings having their specific features. Some considerations about climate change, macroeconomics, and their relationship are given. A characteristic feature of the problem setting is that there are multiple decision makers interacting in a dynamic world with large uncertainties. Problems of this type have been studied extensively by (dynamic) game theory. A rough literature review is provided and some items open for future research are indicated.
Keywords: climate change, dynamic games, economic growth, green energy, environmental change, macro-economic effects, quality of life, socio economic factors
