The economic and environmental effects of an EU ban on illegal logging imports : insights from a CGE assessment
Bosello, Francesco; Parrado, Ramiro; Rosa, Renato - 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...

Combination of equilibrium models and hybrid life cycle-input-output analysis to predict the environmental impacts of energy policy scenarios
Igos, Elorri; Rugani, Benedetto; Rege, Sameer; Benetto, … - 2015
Nowadays, many countries adopt an active agenda to mitigate the impact of greenhouse gas emissions by moving towards less polluting energy generation technologies. The environmental costs, directly or indirectly generated to achieve such a challenging objective, remain however largely...

Integration of power generation capacity expansion in an applied general equilibrium model
De Maere d'Aertrycke, Gauthier; Durand-Lasserve, Olivier; … - 2014
This paper presents a version of a hybrid (top-down bottom-up), multi-region multi-period forward looking applied general equilibrium model, MERGE, that includes a capacity expansion submodel of the electricity sector with demand represented by various time segments. This model is solved...

Assessing direct and indirect economic impacts of a flood event through the integration of spatial and computable general equilibrium modelling
Carrera, Lorenzo; Standardi, Gabriele; Bosello, Francesco; … - 2014
In this paper we developed and tested an integrated methodology for assessing direct and indirect economic impacts of flooding. The methodology combines a spatial analysis of damage to physical stocks with a general economic equilibrium approach using a regionally-calibrated (to Italy) version...

Integrating water resources into computable general equilibrium models : a survey
Ponce, Roberto; Bosello, Francesco; Giupponi, Carlo - 2012
Water resources are facing several stresses in terms of quantity and quality. These pressures are closely related to the human interventions in fields like: agriculture, land-use/land use change, construction/management of reservoirs, pollutant emissions, and water /wastewater treatment, among...

Improving land-use modelling within CGE to assess forest-based mitigation potential and costs
Michetti, Melania; Parrado, Ramiro - 2012
We present a computable general equilibrium model properly modified to analyse the potential role of the European forestry sector within climate mitigation. Improvements on database and modelling frameworks allow accounting for land heterogeneity across and within regions and for land transfers...

The value of biodiversity in economic decision making : applying the IEEM+ESM approach to conservation strategies in Colombia
Banerjee, Onil; Cicowiez, Martín; Malek, Žiga; … - 2020
In this paper we evaluate the economic, natural capital and ecosystem services impacts of strategies for conserving Colombias rich natural capital endowment. Specifically, we consider Government program proposals for establishing Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES), implementing more...
