Computable general equilibrium modelling in Australia is oriented towards providing inputs to the policy-formation process, a process that requires detail. We explain how the necessary level of detail can be provided using analysis of the potential economic impacts of a carbon price on the...

A key distinguishing characteristic of computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling in Australia is its orientation to providing inputs to the policy-formation process. Policy makers require detail. They want to be able to identify convincingly which industries, which occupations, which regions...

The objective of this paper is to study CO2 taxation in its dual role as a climate and fiscal policy instrument. It develops marginal abatement cost curves for CO2 emissions using a dynamic general equilibrium model of the Portuguese economy which highlights the mechanisms of endogenous growth...

In the light of climate change, transport systems become increasingly stressed by extreme weather and gradual climatic changes, resulting in direct costs which arise in the affected sector as well as indirect costs due to economic spill-over effects. To attenuate these costs, sector specific...

Using a disaggregated energy–economy–environmental model, we investigate the economic and environmental impact of a Scottish specific carbon tax under three alternative assumptions about the use of the revenue raised by the tax: revenues raised are not recycled within Scotland; revenues are...

In the last decades supply chains emerged that stretch across many countries. This has been explained with decreasing trade and communication costs. We extend the literature by analyzing if and how unilateral environmental regulation induces offshoring to unregulated jurisdictions. We first...

La France s'est fixée comme objectif de diviser par quatre ses émissions de gaz à effet de serre d'ici 2050 par rapport au niveau de 1990. L'objectif de l'étude est de déterminer les politiques publiques à mettre en œuvre pour atteindre ce Facteur 4 compte tenu de la disponibilité de la...
