Hi everybody, welcome to my user page.

Planned edits for CBE195
My group, consisting of Jeremy, Janine, and, Meredith plan to edit the following Wikipedia pages/sections:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_tax#Social_cost_of_carbon

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_tax#United_States

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics_of_climate_change_mitigation#Discount_rates

The following is a brief description of the edits we plan to make:

In carbon tax page under United States tab

 * Internal Price on Carbon: We will talk about the internal price of carbon used by companies in the United States. Companies in the United States use their own cost of carbon to anticipate future government regulations which may levy an internal price of carbon on their business while planning their operations
 * Timeline of how social cost of carbon is being implemented in the United States.

In carbon tax page under social cost of carbon tab
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DICE_model We hope to connect the DICE model and its implications to how countries set the social cost of carbon
 * Dynamic Integrated Climate Economy Model (DICE)

In economics of climate change mitigation page under discount rates tab

 * Elaborate more on what a high and low discount rate entails. Effect on current and future generations, and assumptions made to support a high or low discount rate.
