DESCRIPTION:Environmental and Resource Economics Workshop by Elizabeth Ba
 ldwin\nTitle: Choosing in the Dark: Incomplete Preferences\, and Climate
  Policy\n\nAbstract:\nHow should we frame collective decision-making whe
 n the stakes are high and reasonable people disagree? A model of incompl
 ete preferences (cf. Galaabaatar and Karni\, 2013) may be appropriate\, 
 and I suggest characterisations for when it is so.  This incompleteness 
 arises from disagreement about the probabilities of diverse outcomes\, a
 s well as differing levels of impatience\, and risk or inequality aversi
 on.\n\nMy leading example is our level of response to climate change\; n
 umerical modelling substantiates the extraordinary extent of potential d
 isagreement in this case.  I derive the relative robustness of using pri
 ce- or quantity-based policy targets\, in the incomplete situation.   Fi
 nally\, I use this model to re-frame the `dismal theorem' of Weitzman (2
 009)\, clarifying the key insights it provides.\n
