The creation and accumulation of knowledge constitutes without any doubt one of the major drivers of progress and development. The incontrovertible evidence of that creative process is present everywhere in our daily routines and societies. However, it is rather difficult to define a measure of...

Multi-sector, multi-region computable general equilibrium (CGE) models are typically based on the most recent consistent accounts of region- and sector-specific production, consumption, bilateral trade and energy flows as provided by the GTAP data base. However, even the most recent data base...

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). We conduct a quantitative assessment of the Chinese emissions trading scheme (ETS) with the help of PACE (Policy Analysis...

Russia is currently experiencing a turnaround in its energy and climate policy. In this paper, we analyse the effects of different environmental and energy policies on the Russian economy and the state of the environment at both federal and regional level. The core SUSTRUS model augmented by the...

Global impact assessment of unilateral climate policies is commonly based on multi-sector, multi-region computable general equilibrium (CGE) models that are calibrated to consistent accounts of production, consumption, and bilateral trade flows. However, global economic databases such as GTAP...
