Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental Regulation and U.S. Economic Growth
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify the costs of pollution controls by reporting the results of simulations of the growth of the U.S. economy with and without regulation and find that pollution abatement has emerged as a major claimant on the resources of the American economy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The theoretical and empirical structure of the G-Cubed model
TL;DR: G-Cubed as discussed by the authors is a general equilibrium model that combines the attractive features of macroeconometric models and computable general equilibrium models into a unified framework, which has been used to study a variety of topics including greenhouse gas policy, trade liberalization, tax policy and macroeconomic policy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Economics in Climate Change Policy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the key economic characteristics of climate change and argue that economic theory provides good guidance on the design of an efficient and politically realistic policy for climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reducing US carbon emissions: an econometric general equilibrium assessment
TL;DR: In particular, the authors showed that in the United States, the effects of a carbon tax will be very similar to those of a tax placed solely on coal, and that higher energy prices will cause gross national product to fall unless the revenue from tax is used to reduce high marginal tax rates elsewhere in the economy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emissions trading, capital flows and the Kyoto protocol
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use an econometrically estimated multi-region, multi-sector general equilibrium model of the world economy to examine the effects of the tradable emissions permit system proposed in the 1997 Kyoto protocol, under various assumptions about that extent of international permit trading.
