• TITLE: An Economic Instrument to Improve the Climate in Sweden

  AUTHORS: Jan Stenis

  KEYWORDS: Climate Change, Economic Instrument, Sweden

  JOURNAL NAME: Theoretical Economics Letters, Vol.10 No.4, August 5, 2020

  ABSTRACT: Objectives: The Naturally Optimised Revenue Demand in Communities (NORDIC) model was applied to improve the Swedish climate. When substantial changes in the atmosphere’s temperature occur, the profits can be reduced, creating a strong driving force for authorities to cope with climate change. A new and practical economic instrument was introduced to improve climate management, based on the NORDIC model. Methods: Constructed shadow costs were produced to be inserted into the public accounts. This procedure induced economic incentives to decrease the climate changes. The launched methodology considered the public awareness about climate change issues. This case study provided an example of how to improve the climate in the Swedish society by applying the NORDIC model. Results: The methodology could improve the climate and decrease its fluctuations by using economic instruments. The resulting shadow cost impacted the Public Sector Borrowing Requirement. An introduced key factor expressed, by one digit only, the success of the climate policy. Conclusions: The NORDIC model could improve the Swedish climate and its danger to health. Governments obtain a tool to monitor, manage and evaluate the atmosphere. End users include environmental authorities and politicians that want a climate policy tool. The NORDIC model is recommended to apply to climate issues and raise the public awareness about climate change. Further research focus on algorithms for certain climates and affected citizens.
