This paper aims at clarifying some conceptual flaws blurring the equity-efficiency debates involved in the setting of objectives of GHGs emissions control beyond 2012. To this end, it carries out numerical experiments that test the viability of agreements grounded on two contrasting target...

This paper aims at clearing up misunderstandings about the social impacts of carbon taxes, which proved to be a decisive obstacle to their further consideration in public debates. It highlights the gap between the cost of a carbon tax reform as it is spontaneously perceived by the taxpayers and...

Cet article vise à dissiper les malentendus sur les impacts distributifs de taxes carbone, malentendus qui constituent un obstacle jusqu'ici dirimant à leur plus ample examen dans les débats publics. Il met en évidence l'écart entre les analyses en équilibre partiel, proches de la...

This research aims at clearing up misunderstandings about the distributive impacts of carbon taxes, which proved to be a decisive obstacle to their further consideration in public debates. It highlights the gap between partial equilibrium analyses, which are close to the agents' perception of...

The successive versions of the GTAP databases are provided with GTAPAgg, a programme that computes values of the series of the database for any regional and sectoral aggregation. A 'self-trade' issue arises from the fact that GTAPAgg aggregates the several series concerned with international...

Energy-Economy-Environment (E3) modelers have called to develop “hybrid” models that aim at reconciling bottom-up and top-down approaches (Hourcade et al. 2006) to overtake their respective limits: on the one hand, engineers focus on the fine representation of technologies but without taking...

[fre] Les travaux sur les impacts macro-économiques d'écotaxes ont confirmé l'existence d'une forme « faible » de double dividende si leur produit est utilisé pour réduire les taxes préexistantes les plus distorsives ; mais elles ont mis en évidence des conditions restrictives quant à...
