Abstract

Ackerman and Munitz (2016) offer a critique of estimates of the economic impact of climate change and the social cost of carbon in general, and the FUND model in particular. I am grateful for the opportunity to reply. In this response, I note that (i) their concerns are not new; (ii) they highlight strengths of FUND rather than its weaknesses; and (iii) they revisit their old mistakes. I conclude with a few improvements to FUND prompted by Messrs Ackerman and Munitz.
