Most studies have assessed the distributional impact of carbon taxes through their effects on commodity prices alone, while ignoring their impact on individual welfare brought about by changes in factor prices. Yet, the remunerations of capital and labor are not affected by these taxes...

In the existence of trade interaction, a sub-global climate change policy can generate externality, which can cause competitiveness issues for the producers in compliant regimes. However among compliant regions, a small economy also receives a significant spillins effect when a large economy...

Using a multi-region, multi-sector computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, this paper compares the efficiency, distributional and emission leakage effects of border tax adjustments (BTAs) as part of unilateral climate policies that are based on carbon dioxide (CO2)-only versus those based on...

As a net exporter of oil, the recent upward trend in the world prices of energy products represents both an opportunity and a challenge for Canada. This study investigates the aggregate and sectoral effects of a sustained increase in these prices on the Canadian economy using a multi-sector...

<Para ID="Par1">Despite substantial interest in the role of energy in the economy, the degree of substitutability between energy and other production inputs and the way energy should be included in the production function remain unresolved issues. This study provides industry-level parameter estimates of...</para>

Empirical industry-level studies find a systematic pattern of output and price responses to variations in oil prices. This pattern depends on the energy-intensity of production and on the origin of oil price shocks. We build a multisector business cycle model that features endogenous production...
