In other words, the significant chance of a "surprise" causes a much higher level of "optimal" abatement, relative to the original DICE formulation. In addition, Roughgarden and Schneider analyze the effects of the relative severity of the average survey damage estimate versus those of the nonlinearities of the DICE model in a probabilistic analysis. Approximately one third of the difference between the optimal carbon taxes of DICE and the means of their optimal carbon tax distributions are accounted for by the relatively high survey damage estimates, and the remaining two-thirds of the difference can be attributed to the non-linearities in the model.
Toward the positive side of the spectrum, in developed countries, land grant universities with their Research and Extension centers continually monitor environmental trends and develop adaptive strategies for farmers, thus providing a passive early warning system. g. , 1985), even for a "genius farmer" or one possessed with clairvoyance. Schneider, Easterling and Mearns (2000) show for the case of agricultural agents how natural variability (which masks slowly evolving climatic trends) could affect farmers' capacity to adapt to the advent or prospect of slowly evolving climatic change.
The EMF-12 studies also showed that the emissions paths and costs of abatement depend directly on the rate of energy efficiency improvements. 5-1% reduction in the amount of energy it takes to produce a unit of GDP per year). However, in the actual economy neither the cost of non-conventional energy supply systems nor the rate of energy efficiency improvements (EEl) are fully "autonomous". On the contrary, as Grubb et al. (1994) have argued, EEI are endogenous to the economic system. g. g. as argued in Schneider, 1997a).
