“…The elasticity of substitution between the emissions and the conventional inputs is estimated to match a Marginal Abatement Cost (MAC) curve that is derived from detailed bottom-up studies (see Hyman et al, 2002;Reilly et al 2002). Gerlagh et al (2002) and Dellink et al (2004) introduce for each pollutant an abatement sector producing mitigation technologies in a region. Emission reductions can be achieved by increasing the input of abatement goods in the production of a polluting sector, which allows for an abatement-specific input mix.…”

This paper uses the computable general equilibrium model WorldScan to analyse interactions between EU's air pollution and climate change policies. Covering the entire world and seven EU countries, WorldScan simulates economic growth in a neo-classical recursive dynamic framework, including emissions and abatement of greenhouse gases (CO 2 , N 2 O and CH 4) and air pollutants (SO 2 , NO x , NH 3 and PM 2.5). Abatement includes the possibility of using end-of-pipe control options that remove pollutants without affecting the emissionproducing activity itself. This paper analyses several variants of EU's air pollution policies for the year 2020. Air pollution policy will depend on end-of-pipe controls for not more than 50%, thus also at least 50% of the required emission reduction will come from changes in the use of energy through efficiency improvements, fuel switching and other structural changes in the economy. Greenhouse gas emissions thereby decrease, which renders climate change policies less costly. Our results show that carbon prices will fall, but not more than 33%, although they could drop to zero when the EU agrees on a more stringent air pollution policy.

“…Following the methodology proposed by Dellink et al (2003), the model is developed by using the mathematical program system for general equilibrium (MPSGE), which is a general algebraic modeling system (GAMS) extension developed by Rutherford (1998), with the MCP GAMS solver. A diagrammatic overview of the main structure of the model is presented in figure 1.…”

Assessing economic impacts of China’s water pollution mitigation measures through a dynamic computable general equilibrium analysis

In this letter, we apply an extended environmental dynamic computable general equilibrium model to assess the economic consequences of implementing a total emission control policy. On the basis of emission levels in 2007, we simulate different emission reduction scenarios, ranging from 20 to 50% emission reduction, up to the year 2020. The results indicate that a modest total emission reduction target in 2020 can be achieved at low macroeconomic cost. As the stringency of policy targets increases, the macroeconomic cost will increase at a rate faster than linear. Implementation of a tradable emission permit system can counterbalance the economic costs affecting the gross domestic product and welfare. We also find that a stringent environmental policy can lead to an important shift in production, consumption and trade patterns from dirty sectors to relatively clean sectors.
