SUMMARY:

Mitigation has been the best solution among researchers and policy makers in order to tackle climate change. One way to attempt mitigation, specially in economics, is to charge poluters the right price for the ton of GhG emission - the Pigouvian tax - to solve the externality problem. This work aims to give an estimate of this carbon emission price by solving a "traditional" Integrated Assessment Model (IAM) and then expanding it by introducing stochastic productivity shocks and multiple social planners. The model replicates quite well past results from literature and tries to go beyond them, reafirming that current carbon taxes should be higher in order to achieve proposed mitigation targets.
