A Regional Dynamic General-Equilibrium Model of Alternative Climate-Change Strategies
构建了区域综合气候经济模型,将全球分解为不同国家,分析纯市场、高效合作和非合作三种气候政策策略,发现合作策略减排力度更大,但高收入国家可能成为主要损失方。
Most analyses treat global warning as a single-agent problem. The present study presents the Regional Integrated model of Climate and the Economy (RICE) model. By disaggregating into countries, the model analyzes different national strategies in climate-change policy: pure market solutions, efficient cooperative outcomes, and noncooperative equilibria. This study finds that cooperative policies show much higher levels of emissions reductions than do noncooperative strategies; that there are substantial differences in the levels of controls in both the cooperative and the noncooperative policies among different countries; and that high-income countries may be the major losers from cooperation.
