摘要 | Shareholders face restrictions to hold firms that have net-zero carbon emissions. These mandates address the global-warming externality by rewarding corporations that invest in decarbonization like direct air capture with a lower cost of capital. We quantify their welfare consequences by developing a model where a higher aggregate decarbonization-to-productive capital ratio delays a climate tipping point — an absorbing state with frequent weather disasters. We compare the market economy with a welfare-maximizing mandate to the planner’s solution. Welfare increases along with endogenous mandate standards over time. A cost-of-capital wedge formula for sustainable versus unsustain-able firms summarizes shareholders’ decarbonization costs. |
