The paper examines whether a variation of the one and two period discounted cash flow models using optimized investment horizons can be used to explain and/or predict stock prices. In addition to this, the optimized horizons themselves are analyzed to see how long a stock is held in different market climates. The results show that the models cannot be used for pricing stocks. Neither can they exp

This paper examines the degree to which dynamic inconsistency in climate policy presents a serious challenge in the sense that exclusively pursuing near-term cost-efficiency implies strong disincentives for policy makers to attain long-term abatement goals. We model technological change and cost-efficient emissions cuts of roughly 80% in the EU-27 energy sector during the forty-year period 2010-20
