Afforestation and Timber Management Compliance Strategies in Climate Policy. A Computable General Equilibrium Analysis
Michetti, Melania; Rosa, Renato Nunes - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
This paper analyzes the role of afforestation-reforestation and timber management activities, and their major and secondary economic effects in stabilizing climate during the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol. In particular, with a Computable General Equilibrium framework, the ICES...

REDD in the Carbon Market: A General Equilibrium Analysis
Bosello, Francesco; Eboli, Fabio; Parrado, Ramiro; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010
Deforestation is a major source of CO2 emissions, accounting for around 17% of total annual anthropogenic carbon release. While the cost estimates of reducing deforestation rates vary considerably depending on model assumptions, it is widely accepted that emissions reductions from avoided...

The Economic and Environmental Effects of an EU Ban on Illegal Logging Imports. Insights from a CGE Assessment
Bosello, Francesco; Parrado, Ramiro; Rosa, Renato - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010
Illegal logging is widely recognized as a major economic problem and one of the causes of environmental degradation. Increasing awareness of its negative effects has fostered a wide range of proposals to combat it by major international conservation groups and political organizations. Following...

Impacts of Border Carbon Adjustments on China’s Sectoral Emissions: Simulations with a Dynamic Computable General Equilibrium Model
Bao, Qin; Tang, Ling; Zhang, ZhongXiang; Qiao, Han; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
Carbon-based border tax adjustments (BTAs) have recently been proposed by some OECD countries to level the carbon playing field and target major emerging economies. This paper applies a multi-sector dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to estimate the impacts of the BTAs...

Carbon-based Border Tax Adjustments and China’s International Trade: Analysis based on a Dynamic Computable General Equilibrium Model
Tang, Ling; Bao, Qin; Zhang, ZhongXiang; Wang, Shouyang - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
With large shares in global trade and carbon emissions, China’s international trade is supposed to be significantly affected by the proposed carbon-based border tax adjustments (BTAs). This paper examines the impacts of BTAs imposed by the USA and EU on China’s international trade, based on...

Renewable Energy Subsidies: Second-Best Policy or Fatal Aberration for Mitigation?
Kalkuhl, Matthias; Edenhofer, Ottmar; Lessmann, Kai - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
This paper evaluates the consequences of renewable energy policies on welfare, resource rents and energy costs in a world where carbon pricing is imperfect and the regulator seeks to limit emissions to a (cumulative) target. We use a global general equilibrium model with an intertemporal fossil...
