چکیده

Literature review shows that most economic analyses of climate change have focused on the international cross-section analysis on the impact of mitigation actions. This paper departs in disaggregating the impact by provinces in one country, focusing particularly on industrial structure and income disparities between different provinces in China. With different economic growth, there exists substantial difference for energy consumption and carbon emission between provinces in China. In 2008, the highest carbon emission per GDP is about six times of the lowest carbon intensity. Therefore, it is expected carbon mitigation will result in different effect on different provinces. This paper will build a multi-regional computable general equilibrium model for China, which contains 31 provinces. Uniform carbon tax is imposed across provinces to achieve different carbon mitigation. Different carbon policies will be simulated based on the multi-regional CGE model and its effect on regional disparity will be analyzed. Table of contents

Efficiency or Equity? Simulating the Carbon Emission Permits Trading Schemes in China Based on an Inter-Regional CGE Model

Energy conservation and greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement have been included in the national development strategy of China, however, the rigidity in command-and-control, absence of market-mechanism and arbitrariness in assignment of abatement burden across regions have caused unnecessary losses in both economic efficiency and social equity. In this paper, we established an Inter-Regional CGE model...

Markets versus Regulation: The Efficiency and Distributional Impacts of U.S. Climate Policy Proposals

Regulatory measures have proven the favored approach to climate change mitigation in the U.S., while market-based policies have gained little traction. Using a model that resolves the U.S. economy by region, income category, and sector-specific technology deployment opportunities, this paper studies the magnitude and distribution of economic impacts under regulatory versus market-based approach...
