Technical efficiency and CO2 abatement policies in the Dutch glasshouse industry
构建了荷兰温室产业的短期微观经济模拟模型，研究技术效率与二氧化碳边际减排成本的关系，并分析不同减排政策对不同技术效率企业的影响。
This paper develops a short-run microeconomic simulation model of the Dutch glasshouse industry in order to investigate the relation between technical efficiency and marginal abatement costs of CO2 emission. The model is also used to determine the effects of an emission tax and systems of tradable and non-tradable quota for groups of firms with different rates of technical efficiency. The results show that marginal abatement costs are very responsive to changes in technical efficiency. Furthermore, it is found that firms with a low technical efficiency are faced with a higher profit reduction under different abatement policies than firms with a high technical efficiency.
