GTAP-Energy: A note Christine Lasco and Andy Mold
World Marketed Energy Use: OECD and Non-OECD, 1980-2030 Source: IEO, 2006
Possible problems with Burniaux and Troung (2002)…. • Paper uses 1997 GTAP to simulate impact of emissions cuts • Burniau and Troung use 1994 growth projections • Subsequently, parts of the world economy has experienced phenomenal growth, especially in Asia (China, India) • Thus need to update experiment?
Alternative Scenario…. • Model incorporates shock to basic E-GTAP model, augmenting factors of production and population on a regional basis using more recent data. • Base data subsequently used to re-rerun the basic Burniaux and Troung (2002), having recalculated the necessary cuts in CO2 required to meet the Kyoto commitments.
Welfare Decomposition of implementing Kyoto no trading Source: Burniau and Troung, 2002 and own elaboration
Explanations?... • Growth of China/India means a greater effort needs to be made by industrialised countries in order to attain the Kyoto objectives • Higher tax rates on fuel in RoA1 countries means that cost of achieving objectives is correspondingly higher • Terms of trade impact positive for EU and US, but sharply negative for energy exporters.
