Designing an emissions trading scheme for China: An up-to-date climate policy assessment

Hübler, Michael; Löschel, Andreas; Voigt, Sebastian - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2014

We assess recent Chinese climate policy proposals in a multi-region, multi-sector computable general equilibrium model with a Chinese carbon emissions trading scheme (ETS). When the emissions intensity per GDP in 2020 is required to be 45% lower than in 2005, the model simulations indicate that...

The Basic WIOD CGE Model: A computable general equilibrium model based on the World Input-Output Database

Koesler, Simon; Pothen, Frank - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2013

This report presents the Basic WIOD CGE model. The model represents the first implementation of the World Input …-Output Database (WIOD) into the CGE framework and is tailored to provide a maximum fit with WIOD data. The model is specifically … when using CGE models for future research. …

Estimation of sectoral elasticities of substitution along the international technology frontier

Baccianti, Claudio - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2013

Sectoral heterogeneity is crucial to address several economic questions. This paper provides a detailed mapping of sectoral production possibility frontiers, using different nesting structures and levels of aggregation (primary, secondary, tertiary activities and energy-intensive firms)....

Terms-of-trade and the funding of adaptation to climate change and variability: An empirical analysis

Schenker, Oliver; Stephan, Gunter - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2012

This paper analyses the interplay between international trade, regional adaptation and North-to-South transfers for funding adaptation within the framework of a dynamic computable gen-eral equilibrium model, where impacts of climate change depend on changes in precipitation and temperature. If...

Technological change in economic models of environmental policy: a survey

Löschel, Andreas - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2001

This paper provides an overview of the treatment of technological change in economic models of environmental policy. Numerous economic modeling studies have confirmed the sensitivity of mid- and long-run climate change mitigation cost and benefit projections to assumptions about technology...

Economic impacts of a premature nuclear phase-out in Switzerland

Böhringer, Christoph; Wickart, Marcel; Müller, Andre - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2001

This paper investigates the economic impacts of two policy proposals: "Strom ohne Atom" (SOA) and "Moratorium Plus" (MOP), both of which contain a premature phase-out of nuclear power in Switzerland. While MOP restricts business-as-usual operation time of existing nuclear power plants to 40...

Combining Top-Down and Bottom-up in Energy Policy Analysis: A Decomposition Approach

Rutherford, Thomas F.; Böhringer, Christoph - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2006

The formulation of market equilibrium problems as mixed complementarity problems (MCP) permits integration of bottom-up programming models of the energy system into top-down general equilibrium models of the overall economy. Despite the coherence and logical appeal of the integrated MCP...

Linking CGE and Microsimulation Models: A Comparison of Different Approaches

Colombo, Giulia - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2008

In the paper we describe in detail how to build linked CGE-microsimulation models (using fictitious data) following … inconsistencies, we propose an alternative way of taking into account feedback effects from the micro level of analysis into the CGE …
