Greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture in the EU: A spatial assessment of sources and abatement costs
de Cara, Stephane; Houze, Martin; Jayet, Pierre-Alain - 2004
Agriculture contributes significantly to the emissions of greenhouse gases in the EU. By using a farm-type, linear-programming based model of the European agricultural supply, we first assess the initial levels of methane and nitrous oxide emissions at the regional level in the EU. For a range...

The costs of stopping deforestation in PNG and Indonesia
Hunt, Colin - 2010
Even though deforestation in tropical developing countries releases large quantities of greenhouse gases, the Kyoto Protocol does not include mechanisms for forest conservation. Nevertheless, deforestation and forest degradation has now taken centre-stage as the developed countries, having...

An EU Sky Trust: Distributional Analysis for Hungary
Ferjentsik, Viola; Ash, Michael - 2007
We analyze the effects of EU adoption of a Sky Trust (Barnes and Breslow 2003) on the income distribution of Hungary, a lower-middle income EU member. We use plausible parameters for an EU carbon charge and revenue recycling system, input-output data to track the effect of a carbon charge on...

MITIGATION OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS: THE IMPACTS ON A DEVELOPED COUNTRY HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON AGRICULTURE
Saunders, Caroline M.; Wreford, Anita - 2003
This paper focuses on the impact of mitigating greenhouse gases (GHG) on agricultural trade. In particular, the paper assesses the impact on New Zealand (NZ), which is highly reliant on agricultural trade, with a high percentage of its total GHG emissions are originating in the agricultural...

The Welfare Effects of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in German Pork Production
Heinrich, Barbara; von Cramon-Taubadel, Stephan - 2011
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are an externality of the pork production process. To respond to climate change concerns and reduce GHG emissions, internalizing this exter-nal effect using a market-based economic instrument would be economically efficient. We calculate the welfare effects of GHG...

Adjusting Carbon Cost Analyses to Account for Prior Tax Distortions
Parry, Ian W.H. - 2002
This paper discusses how carbon abatement policies interact with the tax system, and how these interactions affect the overall costs of carbon controls. We provide formulas for adjusting cost estimates of auctioned and grandfathered carbon emissions from partial equilibrium energy models into...

Urban congestion charging : road pricing as a traffic reduction measure / W. Heyns
Heyns, Werner - 2005
Urban traffic congestion is recognised as a major problem by most people in world cities. However, theimplementation of congestion reducing measures on a wide scale eludes most world cities suffering fromtraffic congestion, as many oppose the notion of road pricing and despite economists and...
