“…Fisher-Vanden and Ho (2010) consider the impacts of increased R&D activity on factor input shares and the energy intensity of GDP in China. Das et al (2005) examine the effects associated with environmental and technological policy shifts in the US forest sector by using a multiregional CGE model.…”

Technological change is one factor used to justify the existence of an Environmental Kuznets Curve, and technological improvements have been argued to be a key factor in mitigating the impacts of economic growth on environmental quality. In this paper we use a CGE model of the Scottish economy to consider the factors influencing the impacts of one form of technological changeimprovements in energy efficiency -on absolute levels of CO2 emissions, on the carbon intensity of the economy (CO2 emissions relative to real GDP), and the per capita EKC relationship. These factors include the elasticity of substitution between energy and non-energy inputs, responses in the labour market and the structure of the economy. Our results demonstrate the key role played by the general equilibrium price elasticity of demand for energy, and the relative influence of different factors on this parameter.

“…These models take into account opportunity costs of land uses, trade-offs between agriculture and forestry, and the mitigation strategies. Das et al (2005) simulated different forest conservation policies and spotted owl conservation in a multiregional applied general equilibrium model of the US economy. That was the first global CGE model with disaggregated land use information.…”

“…The theoretical structure of bottoms-up regional models is similar to that of world models such as GTAP (Hertel 1997), see for example Liew (1984). For an analysis of US regional issues in an applied general equilibrium framework, see Canning and Tsigas (2000) and Das et al (2005). 6 Group consists of the following I-O sectors: five dairy sectors, meat packing plants, canned and cured fish and seafoods, sugar, and tobacco stemming and redrying.…”
