The economic implications for Australia of replacing its carbon tax policy with an Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF) scheme are examined. A computable general equilibrium model is used to show that the budget allocated for the ERF is about 50 per cent of that required to meet Australias greenhouse...

Using a dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, we analyze the energy and economic implications of carbon neutrality in China. Our CGE model, CHINAGEM-E, has detailed up-to-date data and an innovative power generation nesting structure. Impacts of carbon neutrality are calculated by...

This paper asks three questions. First, how do carbon taxes drive economic and environmental outcomes? Second, what is the appropriate economic base on which carbon taxes should be levied? Finally, how well does a carbon tax deliver economic environmental outcomes compared to a comparable...
