Tol, Richard S. J. (2016): Distributional Implications of Geoengineering. Department of Economics, University of Sussex (Working Paper, 8316).

"Geoengineering is a private good with externalities. Individual countries, and indeed medium-sized organizations and companies, can geoengineer unilaterally and impose their preferred climate on others. In this paper, I use the FUND model to illustrate the implications, comparing and contrasting efficient, optimal, and equitable solutions to emission reduction and geoengineering."

By Juan Moreno-Cruz, and Soheil Shayegh. "Solar geoengineering (SGE) offers the possibility of offsetting greenhouse-gas-induced temperature increases by reducing incoming solar radiation. Its key advantages are 1) it is fast. Unlike emissions reductions, which can take decades to bear results, SGE can reduce global temperatures nearly instantaneously. 2) it is cheap. SGE can potentially reduce temperatures at costs that are several orders of magnitude lower compared to abatement – this has been called “the incredible economics of geoengineering”."

"There remains the possibility that SRM could complement mitigation and adaptation in the fight against climate change, but not without simultaneous increases in resources for research and informed debate that is grounded in the needs of those most affected by climate change right now."

Diakun, Aladdin Tingling (2015): Clearing the Air on 'Geoengineering' and Intellectual Property Rights. Towards a framework approach. (Master Thesis)

"To untangle the issue, this paper focuses on patents and trade secrets as the most relevant categories of intellectual property, and develops a framework within which to situate IP-related concerns, specifically as related to direct air capture, ocean iron fertilization, and stratospheric aerosol spraying. The paper shows that there is no a priori 'yes or no' answer to the question of whether IPRs are desirable and appropriate for 'geoengineering.' Rather, the question of whether they ought to be encouraged or discouraged is highly conditional. "
