    Kruggers recently was responding to a IMF paper which Tim Harford has just written about.Kruggers , like Keyners, changes his mind when the facts change. you obviously do not.

    This says much more about you and the people you read than Kruggers.
    stay in touch and thus you won’t look as silly!

    The IMF paper is How Much Carbon Pricing is in Countries’ Own Interests? The Critical Role of
    Co-Benefits Prepared by Ian Parry, Chandara Veung, and Dirk Heine

    What is a co-benefit? The IMF has invented a new economic concept?

    Beware of climate alarmists and international bureaucrats bearing new economic concepts.

    Jim,
    If you read the paper then you would realise things have changed a lot, particualy the opportunity cost.
    ignorance is not a good look.

    What new factors are in this paper that everybody missed in the past, or totally undervalued compared to what’s in this paper published by the IMF

    The costs are much lower , which is essentially is what Kruggers was talking about.
