Abstract: As the assignment of greenhouse gas emissions to the region of production falls short in addressing emissions embodied in trade, additional accounting principles are discussed in the literature and applied to historic data. By model development and policy simulation we analyze five emission policies in their effectiveness to reduce production based and consumption based emissions. We use a mulit-regional multi-sectoral Computable General Equilibrium model to simulate five emission policies and link the model to a Multi Regional Input Output model to calculate production and consumption based emissions. The sectoral hotspots of Austrian emissions shift from electricity and energy intensive sectors towards the construction sector, government services and trade when applying a consumption based accounting principle. The effectiveness of reducing carbon emissions on a production and consumption based principle also varies between the selected policies. Further insights will be given in the full paper version.
