Dennis Anderson

Published: March 2007

Responding to the ‘Dual Critique’, and the Tol and Yohe paper in the previous issue of World Economics, Professor Anderson counters a number of assertions made in those papers including the claims that the Stern Review is ‘alarmist’ or scaremongering, biased in its estimates and was not reviewed by peers. He points to a number of areas where the authors either got it wrong or seriously misrepresented the Review.
