Investigating the Economic Effects of Taxes on Pollutants in Iran Using a Computable General Equilibrium Model

This study investigates the economic effects of taxes on pollutants in Iran in 2011. For this purpose, computable general equilibrium model with 2011 social accounting matrix is applied. Six scenarios taxes on pollutants have defined and estimatethe effects on economic variables and production quantity of activities. The results show that the taxes on pollutants is conducive to environmental im...

Constraining Climate Model Properties Using Optimal Fingerprint Detection Methods

The MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change is an organization for research, independentÊpolicy analysis, and public education in global environmental change. It seeks to provide leadership inÊunderstanding scientific, economic, and ecological aspects of this difficult issue, and combining them into policy assessments that serve the needs of ongoing national and internation...

A Complementarity Approach to Solving Computable General Equilibrium Models

Computable general equilibrium (CGE) models play a central role in modern economic modeling, bearing on a wide range of important applications in international climate and trade policies, growth and development of countries, national income distribution and equality studies. We formulate a canonical CGE model as a complementarity problem and introduce CIM-EARTH, a collection of open-source exte...

Sustainability Impact Assessment: the Use of Computable General Equilibrium Models

This paper advocates computable general equilibrium (CGE) models as an analytical framework that is suitable for assessing the impacts of policy interference on the three dimensions of Sustainable Development, i.e. environmental quality, economic performance and equity. Methodological extensions of standard CGE models are illustrated that may strengthen the role of CGE models in measuring polic...
