Specifying parameters in computable general equilibrium models using optimal fingerprint detection methods

Koesler, Simon - 2014

to improve the standard parameter specification of computable general equilibrium (CGE) models. On that account, we …. This method originates from climate science and combines a simple model validation exercise with a structured sensitivity … in CGE models, for example for the definition of elasticities or productivity growth rates. …

Economic effects of climate change in developing countries: Economy-wide and regional analysis for Ethiopia

Yalew, Amsalu W.; Hirte, Georg; Lotze-Campen, Hermann; … - 2017

Quantifying the economic effects of climate change is a crucial step for planning adaptation in developing countries. This study assesses the economy-wide and regional effects of climate change induced productivity and labor supply shocks in agriculture in Ethiopia. The study shows, in worst...

General equilibrium effects of public adaptation in agriculture in LDCs: Evidence from Ethiopia

Yalew, Amsalu W.; Hirte, Georg; Lotze-Campen, Hermann; … - 2017

Ethiopia is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change. This is because its important economic sector, agriculture, is virtually rain-fed. The role of the sector in the current economic structure and the potency of the anticipated biophysical impacts of climate change necessitates...

Cap-and-Trade Climate Policy, Free Allowances, and Price-Regulated Firms

Lanz, Bruno; Rausch, Sebastian - 2013

Firms subject to cost-of-service regulation cannot withhold windfall profits associated with free emissions allowances. This paper examines the efficiency and distributional impacts of two approaches to transfer free allowances to consumers: output subsidies and lump-sum payments. We employ an...

Revisión de modelos energéticos

Martínez Torrico, Karen M.; Aliaga, Francisco Javier - 2015

Throughout our history we have demonstrated the relationship between the decisions of energetic character, economy and the environment. For this reason is that they begin to develop and implement energetic modeling techniques as alternative tools for both the development of energy policies, and...

Terms-of-trade and the funding of adaptation to climate change and variability: An empirical analysis

Schenker, Oliver; Stephan, Gunter - 2012

This paper analyses the interplay between international trade, regional adaptation and North-to-South transfers for funding adaptation within the framework of a dynamic computable gen-eral equilibrium model, where impacts of climate change depend on changes in precipitation and temperature. If...

Implementing a Dual Income Tax in Germany: Effects on Investment and Welfare

Radulescu, Doina Maria; Stimmelmayr, Michael - 2005

This paper investigates the effects of implementing a dual income tax (DIT) in Germany. We follow the reform proposal of the German Council of Economic Advisors(2003) and analyze its implications on capital formation, investment and welfare using a dynamic computable general equilibrium model....

Economic and Poverty Impacts of a Voluntary Carbon Reduction for a Small Liberalized Developing Economy: The Case of the Philippines

Corong, Erwin L. - 2007

This paper analyzes the economic and poverty effects of a voluntary carbon emission reduction for a small liberalized economy - the Philippines. The simulation results indicate that tariff reductions undertaken by the Philippine government between 1994 and 2005 reduced the cost of fossil fuels...
