Energy is an important commodity in many economic activities. Its usage affects the environment via CO2 emissions and the Greenhouse Effect. Modeling the energy-economy-environment-trade linkages is an important objective in applied economic policy analysis. Previously, however, the modeling of these linkages in GTAP has been incomplete. This is because energy substitution, a key factor in this chain ...
The main aim of this paper is to investigate quantitatively the economic impacts of emissions stabilization scenarios with and without the inclusion of induced technological change (ITC). Improved technological innovations are triggered by increased research and development (R&D) expenditures that advance energy efficiencies. Model results show that ITCs due to increased investment in R&D reduce compliance ...
Das Gutachten ist in vier Kapitel untergliedert. Im ersten Kapitel schätzen die Institute die Entwicklung des Energieverbrauchs in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland bis zum Jahre 1985 nach verschiedenen Verbrauchssektoren und Energieträgern voraus. Ein Nachtrag zu dieser Energieschätzung wird im zweiten Kapitel gebracht, in dem - zwischenzeitlich konzipierte - neue energiepolitische Maßnahmen und jene ...
