By Hirofumi Uzawa
Hirofumi Uzawa's theoretical framework addresses 3 significant difficulties bearing on worldwide warming and different environmental risks. First, it considers all phenomena concerned with worldwide environmental matters that show externalities of 1 sort or one other. Secondly, it covers worldwide environmental matters concerning foreign and intergenerational fairness and justice. finally, it offers with international environmental concerns in regards to the administration of the ambience, the oceans, water, soil, and different common assets having to be determined by means of a consensus of affected international locations.

The social optimum necessarily implies the existence of the uniform carbon tax scheme with the universal rate θ = τ (a)y. However, the balance-of-payments conditions pcν = px ν are generally not satisfied. It is often the case that the set of positive weights for the utilities of individual countries, (α 1 , . . , α n ), [α ν > 0], Global Warming and Carbon Taxes 45 for which the balance-of-payments conditions are satisfied, is uniquely (except for proportionality) determined. It is apparent that, if a social optimum satisfies the balance-ofpayments conditions, it corresponds to the market equilibrium under the uniform carbon tax scheme.
The immediately discussion preceding may be summarized in the following proposition: Proposition 5. The utility measured in CO2 standards w ν corresponding to utility level uν is defined as the minimum expenditure evaluated at the base year price vector p0 = 1 necessary to attain a utility level at least as high as uν , and it is expressed by the following functional form: wν = (uν ), uν = ϕ(a)uν (cν ), where the function (·) is identical for all countries provided that the unit of the utility for each country ν is chosen so that the vector of optimum consumption c0ν at the base year price vector p0 = 1 satisfies the following conditions: uν c0ν = 1, 1c0ν = 1, uνcν c0ν = 1.
The reason the Lagrangian unknowns associated with constraints (9) and (10) are denoted by λν r ν , λν θ ν will become clear shortly. The Lagrangian form is defined by Lν (cν , x ν , a ν , a; λν , λν r ν , λν θ ν ) = ϕ(a)uν (cν ) + λν ( px ν − pcν ) + λν r ν [Kν − f ν (x ν , a ν )] + λν θ ν (a − a −ν − a ν ), where a −ν is given. The optimum combination (cν , x ν , a ν , a) of consumption vector cν , production vector x ν , CO2 emissions a ν , and virtual level of total CO2 emissions a is obtained as follows: Partially differentiate Lagrangian form Lν with respect to cν , x ν , ν a , a and equate them to zero to obtain ϕ(a)uνcν (cν ) = λν p ν ν ν λ p=λ r fxνν (x ν , a ν ) (11) (12) λν θ ν = λν r ν − faνν (x ν , a ν ) (13) λν θ ν = [−ϕ (a)]uν (cν ) (14) together with feasibility conditions (8), (9), and (10).
