- Abstract
- This thesis consists of three separate chapters. Chapter 1 entitled Could climate policy be conducted through pensions? models a novel approach to climate policy. It suggests that a tax relief on ”green” pension savings could constitute a reasonable alternative to carbon taxes. Chapter 2, Optimal policymaking across the democratic spectrum: a dynamic view, develops a dynamic model of political economy which is used to study the impact of democracy on economic outcomes, in particular economic growth. Chapter 3, Can autocracies save climate?, builds on the model developed in Chapter 2 by adding a climate externality. It investigates the influence of the level of democracy on policymakers’ ability to limit carbon emissions.
