第二期将在线上举行，诺贝尔经济学得主、芝加哥大学Lars Peter Hansen教授将以“气候变化的不确定性对社会评价和政策制定的影响”为主题发表演讲。本次讲座由北京大学光华管理学院韩鹏飞教授主持，并且他也将与Hansen教授进行学术讨论。
我们生活在一个瞬息万变的时代。不确定性源于我们对各种现象的有限理解，如：新冠疫情的流行、气候变化等。从经济学角度分析，我们应该如何将这种不确定性概念化？这些不确定性又将对模型的构建以及对经济政策的制定产生哪些影响？本次线上研讨将聚焦于：气候变化以及其他不确定性将如何影响碳排放的社会成本。

On November 13, we will host a presentation by the recipient of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Economics, the University of Chicago's Lars Peter Hansen, "How Should Climate Change Uncertainty Impact Social Valuation and Policy?" followed by a Q&A session moderated by Peking University's Pengfei Han.
We live in an age of constant change. Part of the uncertainty stems from limits to our understanding of various phenomena such as the COVID pandemic and climate change. From the standpoint of economic analysis, how should we conceptualize this uncertainty, what are its consequences for model building, and what implications does it have for economic policy? This discussion will focus on climate change and how alternative sources of uncertainty can impact the social cost of carbon.
The Peking University Center in Chicago and BFI-China at the University of Chicago host a monthly virtual lecture series “Critical Conversations with Economists” to convene renowned economists from each institution for a critical discussion addressing economic issues facing China and the world today. On September 29, the series launched with a discussion between UChicago Booth School of Business’s Chang-Tai Hsieh and PKU’s Qiao Liu.
