Stiglitz considers the problem of allocating resources for competing goals. Climate mitigation can boost aggregate demand, must price carbon
— Sallan Foundation (@Sallan_Found) April 22, 2015
Stern - lack of price on carbon IS effectively a fossil fuel subsidy
— Sallan Foundation (@Sallan_Found) April 22, 2015
Stiglitz- international climate agreement should set a price on carbon, would work better than setting carbon reduction goals, but likely?
