A Climate Treaty and the Norwegian Economy: A CGE Assessment

The Energy Journal, 1994, vol. 15, issue 1, 77-93

Abstract: This paper examines the impact of an international climate treaty on a single country—Norway. A disaggregate computable general equilibrium (CGE) model is used. We discuss the treaty's effects on main macroeconomic indicators, economic growth, distributional impacts, the impact on pollutant emissions other than C02, and the secondary benefits of this reduction. The. results suggest that C02 emissions will decrease compared to the current level. The distributional impacts are modest. Increases in secondary benefits recoup almost one half of the loss in private consumption. We characterize the uncertainty of this estimate.
