The market and land-use impacts of agricultural intensification and fuelwood taxation in Uganda have been estimated using a computable general equilibrium model. Across-theboard yield growth causes total agricultural output to rise and commodity prices to fall. Forest area increases, as does...

Emissions trading takes place from two alternative baselines: 1) emission reduction credits (ERCs) in which the baseline is existing regulations which are often activity-based; or 2) cap-and-trade which specifies the total allowable emissions. This paper examines the effects of these two tradable...
