Climate Finance, Carbon Market Mechanisms and Finance 'Blending' As Instruments to Support NDC Achievement Under the Paris Agreement
Strand, Jon - 2019
This paper considers the impacts of "finance blending" whereby climate finance is added to international carbon markets for offset trading. The paper first discusses climate finance and the carbon market as free-standing finance solutions by high-income countries to increase mitigation in...

Strategic Climate Policy with Offsets and Incomplete Abatement : Carbon Taxes Versus Cap-and-Trade
Strand, Jon - 2017
This paper provides a first analysis of optimal offset policies by a "policy bloc" of fossil fuel importers implementing a climate policy, facing a (non-policy) fringe of other importers, and a bloc of fuel exporters. The policy bloc uses either a carbon tax or a cap-and-trade scheme, jointly...

Understanding the Economic Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Policies on Shipping : What is the State of the Art of Current Modeling Approaches?
Halim, Ronald Apriliyanto - 2019
The International Maritime Organization's initial strategy on reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from ships stipulates that the international shipping sector should assess the impacts on states prior to adoption of the mitigation measures included in the strategy. This assessment should be...

Biofuels and Climate Change Mitigation : A CGE Analysis Incorporating Land-Use Change
Timilsina, Govinda R. - 2017
The question of whether biofuels help mitigate climate change has attracted much debate in the literature. Using a global computable general equilibrium model that explicitly represents land-use change impacts due to the expansion of biofuels, this study attempts to shed some light on this...

Macroeconomic and Distributional Impacts of Jatropha-Based Biodiesel in Mali
Boccanfuso, Dorothée - 2017
Mali, a landlocked West African nation at the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, has introduced a program to produce biodiesel using jatropha curcas, a non-edible shrub widely available throughout the country by farmers for generations as a living fence for their gardens. The aim of the program...

Potential Gains and Losses of Biofuel Production in Argentina : A Computable General Equilibrium Analysis
Chisari, Omar O. - 2017
Argentina is one of the world's largest biodiesel producers and the largest exporter, using soybeans as feedstock. Using a computable general equilibrium model that explicitly represents the biofuel industry, this study carries out several simulations on two sets of issues: (i) international...

The Impact of Infrastructure Spending in Sub-Saharan Africa : A CGE Modeling Approach
Perrault, Jean-François - 2017
The authors constructed a standard computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to explore the economic impact of increased spending on infrastructure in six African countries: Benin, Cameroon, Mali, Senegal, Tanzania, and Uganda. The basic elements of the model are drawn from EXTER, adjusted to...
