摘要

In this paper, the growth of certainty-equivalent (CE) consumption is incorporated directly into a modified Ramsey equation for the social discount rate. The novelty of the modelling approach to certainty-equivalence lies in the application of the power mean, where the power term reflects the degree of aversion to uncertainty regarding future consumption. From the theoretical model, it is demonstrated that the growth rates for CE consumption yield term structures for the discount rate which depend critically on the degree of aversion to uncertainty. The theory is supported by numerical demonstrations based on a plausible range of parameter values that reflect various degrees of aversion to uncertainty. The main finding is twofold: first, that a declining discount rate depends on project appraisers having a substantial degree of aversion to uncertainty and second, that the low discount rates favouring tough and urgent action in relation to climate change mitigation policy require mild aversion to uncertainty. Moderate aversion, consistent with official discount rate guidance from both the European Commission and the British Treasury, would favour a gradualist approach towards climate change mitigation which would be to the benefit of present and near-future generations.
