Working papers

Below are working papers published in 2012 by the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment.

The Institute regularly produces working papers, intended to stimulate discussion within the research community and among users of research. Their content may have been submitted for publication in academic journals. They have been reviewed by at least one internal referee before publication. The views expressed in these papers are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of the Institute.
