Greenhouse gas emissions vs CO2 emissions: Comparative analysis of a global carbon tax
نویسندگان
چکیده
Both CO2 and non-CO2 emissions are liable in climate change policies many countries around the world. However, there still impact assessment studies different regions that consider only emissions. We hypothesise excluding greenhouse gas emissions, which also policies, may lead to misleading results impacts. employ a global policy model (GTAP-E-PowerS) examine how of uniform carbon tax at US$15 applying world when compared case additionally subject tax. That is, impacts (against no tax) will be such both tax). Results show deviations between with without inclusion more obvious developing particularly by comparison developed nations. Iran, for instance, experiences higher reduction real GDP 1.52 percentage points overlooked. These rise increased costs economies (e.g., sectors involved or rates). find experience contraction rates their than Kazakhstan, South Africa, China, India, Russia, Mexico, Indonesia all 2–5.1% reductions relative business-as-usual (no tax), while below 0.8% Australia, United States other nations because emission economy size relatively high Major polluting like States, Russia were found have low marginal abatement due levels input substitution possibilities. To provide accurate insightful we recommend future include models.

Greenhouse gas emissions - do carbon taxes work ?
During the last decade, Norway has carried out an ambitious climate policy by implementing a relatively high carbon tax already in 1991. The Norwegian carbon taxes are among the highest in the world. Data for the development in CO2 emissions provide a unique opportunity to evaluate carbon taxes as a policy tool for CO2 abatement. We combine a divisia index decomposition method and applied gener...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Energy Use and Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Canola Production
In this research, the energy flow and production energy indices of canola cultivation in Trakya province of Turkey, Golestan and Mazandaran provinces of Iran were compared. Diesel fuel and chemical fertilizer inputs were the highest consumer of energy in the production of canola in these three regions. The results indicated that despite the higher energy use of machinery in Trakya province of T...
متن کاملHuman nitrogen fixation and greenhouse gas emissions: a global assessment
The net impact of human nitrogen (N) fixation on climate (ignoring short-lived components) mainly depends on the magnitude of the warming effect of (direct and indirect) nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions and the cooling effect of N-induced carbon dioxide (CO2) uptake. N-induced CO2 uptake is caused by anthropogenic N deposition which increases net primary production (NPP) in N-limited ecosystems an...
