This paper describes two mitigation scenarios leading to the stabilization of atmospheric CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> concentrations at 550 and 750ppm. These mitigation scenarios are developed from the A2-ASF baseline scenario, which characterizes a regionalized world with continuous population growth (to about 15...</subscript>

This study examines how economic structural change has brought about an increase in CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> emissions and analyzes CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> emission composition in Korean industry, using an input-output table. It also extends the input-output framework so the roles of imports and exports are taken into account when...</subscript></subscript>

Technical measures for reducing CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> emissions are assessed with a global energy model on the basis of the SRES baseline scenarios. The model study suggests some insights regarding the question as to what combination of measures would be the cost-minimal technological responses to the global...</subscript>

Global warming has become one of the most important issues in international society. Though environmental taxes and economic instruments are becoming popular among policy makers in Japan, there is little acceptance of the idea of introducing a new carbon tax to abate CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> emissions. The Japanese...</subscript>

How to stabilize the CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> concentration in the atmosphere depends crucially on baseline assumptions of future economic growth, energy demand and supply technologies, etc. In this paper we investigate how different assumptions about the future affect the necessary global policy measures to reach...</subscript>

This paper combines data from a double-bounded referendum contingent valuation survey and a travel cost survey. Rather than linking the two data sets through a common utility function, as in Cameron (1992) and Niklitschek and Leon (1996), we link them through the expenditure difference function....

An agricultural sector model based on the principle of economic welfare maximization was modified to derive the supply schedules for carbon sequestered by afforestation in Taiwan. Competition for land between agricultural and forest enterprises provided the basis for simultaneous price...

This article analyzes the use of economic instruments for environmental policy in four European countries. The study employs data from national and international sources for an ex post evaluation of the effects of economic policy instruments in the clean water programs of Denmark, France,...

We studied the optimal age- and season-specific sustainable harvesting policy for a fish population. We assumed that body weight, reproduction rate, and natural mortality of a fish vary with age. By assuming completely age- and season-specific harvesting, we can obtain a new, simple criterion...
