A General Tractable Differential Game Framework - Climate Policy Applications Between Global North and South

Watch a 53-minute research seminar from GERAD Research Center where Raouf Boucekkine from Aix-Marseille Université presents a novel differential game framework for analyzing climate policy negotiations between global north and south regions. Learn about a tractable approach that moves beyond traditional linear assumptions to study player heterogeneity in dynamic games. Explore how this framework reveals insights about emissions, consumption and welfare outcomes across Nash and Stackelberg equilibria compared to optimal scenarios. Discover findings showing mutual underinvestment in emissions abatement, how northern leadership improves but doesn't optimize outcomes, and how asymmetric climate vulnerability affects emission patterns. Examine the role of deep uncertainty through robust control analysis in this climate policy application of game theory.
