Global emission ceiling versus international cap and trade: What is the most efficient system when countries act non-cooperatively? [PDF]
We model climate negotiations as a two-stage game. In the first stage of the game, players have to agree on a global emission cap (GEC). In the second stage, they non-cooperatively choose either their emission level or their emission quota, depending on ...

Welfare implications of fair and accountable insurance pricing
Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.Abstract This paper introduces an empirical framework to evaluate the welfare implications of fair and accountable insurance pricing by modeling the complete pricing process, including demand and price optimization. Moving beyond traditional cost modeling, we analyze both discrimination‐related fairness criteria and broader regulatory constraints, such
