A Bayesian Approach to the Estimation of Environmental Kuznets Curves for CO2 Emissions

Mazzanti, Massimiliano; Musolesi, Antonio; Zoboli, Roberto - 2006

This paper investigates the EKC curves for CO2 emissions in a panel of 109 countries during the period 1959-2001. The length of the series makes the application of a heterogeneous estimator suitable from an econometric point of view. The results, based on the hierarchical Bayes estimator, show...

A CGE-Analysis of Energy Policies Considering Labor Market Imperfections and Technology Specifications

Küster, Robert; Ellersdorfer, ingo; Fahl, Ulrich - 2007

The paper establishes a CGE/MPSGE model for evaluating energy policy measures with emphasis on their employment impacts. It specifies a dual labor market with respect to qualification, two different mechanisms for skill specific unemployment, and a technology detailed description of electricity...

The Value of ITC under Climate Stabilization

Gerlagh, Reyer - 2005

We assess the effect of ITC in a global growth model, DEMETER-1CCS, with learning by doing where energy savings, an energy transition, and carbon capturing and sequestration (CCS) are the main options for emissions reductions. The model accounts for technology based on learning by doing embodied...

On International Equity Weights and National Decision Making on Climate Change

Anthoff, David; Tol, Richard S.J. - 2007

Estimates of the marginal damage costs of carbon dioxide emissions require the aggregation of monetised impacts of climate change over people with different incomes and in different jurisdictions. Implicitly or explicitly, such estimates assume a social welfare function and hence a particular...

Trade, Technique and Composition Effects: What is Behind the Fall in World-Wide SO2 Emissions 1990-2000?

Grether, Jean-Marie; Mathys, Nicole A.; de Melo, Jaime - 2007

world-wide SO2 emissions and estimate the impact of trade on emissions. Contrarily to concerns raised by environmentalists …, by allowing clean countries to become net importers of emissions, leads to a 10% increase in world emissions with respect … situations where world emissions are either maximal or minimal. It turns out that effective emissions correspond to a 90 …

Introducing Imperfect Competition in CGE Models: Technical Aspects and Implications

Roson, Roberto - 2006

This paper considers the technical aspects and the consequences, in terms of simulation results and policy assessment, of introducing imperfect competition in a CGE model. The modifications to the standard CGE framework needed to model imperfect competition in some industries are briefly...

Induced Technological Change in a Limited Foresight Optimization Model

Hedenus, Fredrik; Azar, Christian; Lindgren, Kristian - 2005

The threat of global warming calls for a major transformation of the energy system the coming century. Modeling technological change is an important factor in energy systems modeling. Technological change may be treated as induced by climate policy or as exogenous. We investigate the importance...
