Limitations and biases of conventional analysis of climate change. Towards an analysis coherent with sustainable development Padilla, Emilio Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Economia Aplicada Canvis climàtics Aspectes econòmics Desenvolupament sostenible This paper shows the numerous problems of conventional economic analysis in the evaluation of climate change mitigation policies. The article points out the many limitations, omissions, and the arbitrariness that have characterized most evaluation models applied up until now. These shortcomings, in an almost overwhelming way, have biased the result towards the recommendation of a lower aggressiveness of emission mitigation policies. Consequently, this paper questions whether these results provide an appropriate answer to the problem. Finally, various points that an analysis coherent with sustainable development should take into account are presented. 2006 Working paper Departament d'Economia Aplicada.
