Bioenergy production in Finland and its effects on regional growth and employment

Simola, Antti; Kinnunen, Jouko; Törmä, Hannu; Kola, Jukka - 2010

Finnish national climate and energy strategy sets the share of renewables in energy use to 38%, and a significant amount of this should be covered by biomass based energy. In 2020 forestry is set to contribute 24 TWh and agriculture 4-5 TWh to energy production. In particular, bioenergy...

Integrating biofuels into the DART model: Analysing the effects of the EU 10% biofuel target

Kretschmer, Bettina; Peterson, Sonja; Ignaciuk, Adriana M. - 2010

Biofuels and other forms of bioenergy have received increased attention in recent times: They have partly been acclaimed as an instrument to contribute to rural development, energy security and to fight global warming but have been increasingly come under attack for their potential to contribute...

Capital malleability and the macroeconomic costs of climate policy

Lanzi, Elisa; Sue Wing, Ian - 2010

This paper argues for introducing the role of capital malleability into the analysis of environmental policies. The issue is explored by means of a theoretical model, a numerical analysis and a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model. Considering the three approaches together is fundamental...

Measuring the impacts of the CAP in Spain: A CGE model approach

Philippidis, George - In: Economia Agraria y Recursos Naturales 10 (2010) 1

The Mid Term Review introduced a decoupling of agricultural support from production decisions, although with opt-out clauses for specific payments in particular sectors. The â€˜Health Checkâ€™ seeks to deepen the degree of decoupling, whilst importantly for Spain, offers the option of...

Effects on the U.S. of an H1N1 epidemic: analysis with a quarterly CGE model

Dixon, Peter B.; Lee, Bumsoo; Muehlenbeck, Todd; … - Centre of Policy Studies and Impact Project (COPS), … - 2010

We simulate the effects of a hypothetical H1N1 epidemic in the U.S. using a quarterly CGE model. Quarterly periodicity allows us to capture the short-run nature of an epidemic. We find potentially severe economic effects in the peak quarter. Averaged over the epidemic year the effects are...

Johansen's contribution to CGE modelling: originator and guiding light for 50 years

Dixon, Peter B.; Rimmer, Maureen T. - Centre of Policy Studies and Impact Project (COPS), … - 2010

Johansen was first, he is not the father of the whole field. CGE modelling in different styles sprang largely independently … from several sources. This paper describes how Johansen's style of CGE modelling took root in Australia in the 1970s and … Johansen-style CGE modelling to elucidate policy questions in trade, taxation, environment, labour markets, immigration, income …
