“…Another reason that damage values are infrequently discussed is that willingness to pay to avoid them appears quite low; a contingent valuation study of willingness of US residents to pay for the Kyoto Protocol estimated that households valued the benefits at just under $191 per household per year (Berrens et al 2004), which implies political support for a carbon price in the mid-single digits of $/tCO 2 . More broadly, contingent valuation studies suffer from ignorance about what type of climate people actually want (Dietz and Maddison 2009). Finally, the characteristics of the risks being compared are different (Slovic 1987); the lethal aspects of the health impacts of air pollution may provide a catalyst for regulatory action that, at least at present, is missing in climate change.…”

“…The general idea of this theorem is that, under the expected-utility framework, if we deal with a) a probability distribution whose tails are fatter than the normal distribution and b) a very convex cost function displaying a high degree of risk-aversion, the expected cost can be infinity. Therefore, the classic cost-benefit analysis does not work under these conditions (Buchholz and Schymura, 2012) and new researches putting extreme climate events in proper theoretical context are urgently required (Dietz and Maddison, 2009;Pindyck, 2013b). …”

“…Sur ce dernier point, le plan national de 2007 rappelle la priorité du secteur forestier, qui a connu deux décennies de dégradations, ce qui justifierait son attractivité pour les projets MDP. Cependant, c'est un sujet politiquement sensible et les nombreuses régulations et barrières institutionnelles existantes dans ce secteur (aux niveaux indonésien et des Nations-Unies) expliquent l'absence de projet forestier enregistré auprès du Conseil Exécutif du MDP au sein des Nations-Unies (Masripatin, 2005 MDP est faible car les projets pourraient tout aussi bien être suscités par des signaux portant sur les prix relatifs domestiques et donc par une politique de prix de l'énergie plus cohérente (Dietz, 2009 ;Larson et al, 2009, Vöhringer, 2010. D'autre part, de manière plus pertinente pour les stratégies climatiques, la question des transferts de technologies mérite un examen approfondi pour lequel les données manquent cependant (Flamos, 2010).…”
