要旨

This paper examines the impact of Knightian uncertainty upon optimalclimate policy through the prism of a continuous-time real optionmodelling framework. We analytically determine optimal intertemporalclimate policies under ambiguity. Additionally, numerical simulationsare provided to illustrate the properties of the model. The resultsindicate that increasing Knightian uncertainty accelerates climatepolicy, i.e. policymakers become more reluctant to postpone the timingof climate policies into the future.
