liberalizing energy price and abatement cost of emissions: evidence from iranian agro-environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
iran is one of the most energy-rich countries subsidizing energy carriers, especially in the agricultural sector, to the extent that the resulting growth is at the expense of the environment. this study tries to investigate the potential impacts of energy price reform on the agro-environment, based on the marginal abatement costs (macs) of emissions. firstly, the energy demand function of the agricultural sector and the probable reaction of inputs and outputs to the reform were estimated. then, using an input distance function (idf), the country and provincial-wide mac were simulated through counterfactual reform scenarios. the results indicated that energy price reform would increase the mac of emissions and socio-environmental benefits. however, the reform adversely affected the income of farmers. also, the results provided detailed information both at a nationwide and provincial scale. finally, it was recommended to implement complementary policies alongside reforms to compensate for the reduction in farmers’ income.

Carbon Emissions Abatement Cost in China: Provincial Panel Data Analysis
This paper employs the quadratic directional output distance function to derive shadow prices of China’s aggregate carbon emissions at the province level between 1997 and 2010. The empirical results indicate that the national weighted average shadow price presents an “N-shape” curve across the sample period, experiencing the initial phase of growth followed by a phase of deterioration, and then...
