The Pricing of Natural Resources in a Regional Economy
利用纽约州的可计算一般均衡模型,分析现有自然资源补贴及同等成本替代方案的影响,发现将水电以居民和商业价格出售给制造业并提供等成本劳动力补贴,能更有效促进就业和节能。
A computable general equilibrium model for New York State is used to analyze the effects of existing natural resource subsidies as well as the impact of alternative schemes of equal cost. The resource under consideration is hydroelectric power generated by state-owned facilities. Simulations indicate that, measured in terms of employment, the state would be better off selling hydropower to manufacturing at the residential and commercial rate and providing industry with an equal cost labor subsidy instead. This would promote energy conservation through more efficient pricing. 28 references, 5 tables.
