It defines the social cost of carbon as the present value of global climate-change damages attributable to an additional ton of CO2, emphasizing its role in net-zero planning and cost-benefit analysis. A review-to-evidence method yields conservative SCC estimates for 2020–2080 suited for global policy use.","cbCaicQpxDRRPDeC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicQpxDRRPDeC","pdf",680694,1,36,"English","en","# Introduction\n## Social cost of carbon definition and modeling\n## Importance of SCC and external cost measurement\n## Method and literature review approach\n## Identifying best SCC estimates for 2020–2080","[{\"question\":\"What does the social cost of carbon (SCC) measure?\",\"answer\":\"The SCC expresses, in monetary terms, the global damages of climate change attributable to emitting an additional ton of carbon dioxide in a given year.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is accurately calculating SCC important for policy decisions?\",\"answer\":\"SCC quantifies a key environmental externality and supports cost-benefit analysis and other applications by balancing decarbonization investment costs against avoided climate damages.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the paper propose identifying the best SCC values?\",\"answer\":\"It starts from study reviews within institutional processes (e.g., IPCC, OECD, and US government bodies), then analyzes academic or research-context review studies, and finally examines selected academic studies that provide original SCC estimates.\"}]",1780952633,91,{"code":4,"msg":28,"data":29},"ok",{"site_id":30,"language":22,"slug":31,"title":13,"keywords":32,"description":14,"schema_data":33,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":25},105,"valuing-the-social-cost-of-carbon-do-economists-really-care-about-climate-change","",{"@graph":34,"@context":84},[35,52,67],{"@type":36,"itemListElement":37},"BreadcrumbList",[38,42,46,49],{"item":39,"name":40,"@type":41,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":43,"name":44,"@type":41,"position":45},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":41,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":41,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/valuing-the-social-cost-of-carbon-do-economists-really-care-about-climate-change/32180/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":39,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-06-09","2026-06-08",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":19},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"What does the social cost of carbon (SCC) measure?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"The SCC expresses, in monetary terms, the global damages of climate change attributable to emitting an additional ton of carbon dioxide in a given year.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"Why is accurately calculating SCC important for policy decisions?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"SCC quantifies a key environmental externality and supports cost-benefit analysis and other applications by balancing decarbonization investment costs against avoided climate damages.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"How does the paper propose identifying the best SCC values?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"It starts from study reviews within institutional processes (e.g., IPCC, OECD, and US government bodies), then analyzes academic or research-context review studies, and finally examines selected academic studies that provide original SCC estimates.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":30}]
