Marginal abatement cost curves and the optimal timing of mitigation measures (English)

Decision makers facing abatement targets need to decide which abatement measures to implement, and in which order. Measure-explicit marginal abatement cost curves depict the cost and abating potential of available mitigation options. Using a simple intertemporal optimization model, the author demonstrates why this information is not sufficient to design emission reduction strategies. Because the measures required achieving ambitious emission reductions...
