The Intra-country Distributional Impact of Policies to Fight Climate Change: A Survey

Journal of Development Studies, 2011

In this paper we present a survey of distributional impact analysis of environmental policies with emphasis on taxes envisaged or implemented to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). These policies usually aim at reducing GHG directly or indirectly. However, they can produce important changes in factor allocation, relative prices in specific countries as well as on world markets when adopted by a large number of countries. Changes in welfare can be important for vulnerable groups of population in developing countries. This survey reviews the evidence on the incidence of these policies. In the process, it shows that the computable general equilibrium (CGE) microsimulation approach has not been fully exploited in the context.

Distributional impacts of long-term climate policies

2019

In light of the IPCC report on Global Warming of 1.5°C and using the targets of the Paris Agreement as a common point of reference, there is a clear need to accelerate policy efforts leading to reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Their successful implementation, however, requires social acceptance, which, in turn, is dependent on distributional impacts that climate action may have on different types of economic actors, sectors and geographies. Thus, assessment of long-term low-emission strategies should cover not only the impacts of transition on sectoral indicators and macroeconomic aggregates, but also address the question how the costs and benefits of climate action are distributed throughout the economy and society. Such assessment should also support the identification of suitable approaches to mitigate or minimise the negative consequences that could translate into increased social inequalities and poverty.

Distributional impact of global warming environmental policies: A survey

2008

In this paper we present a survey of distributional impact analysis of environmental policies envisaged or implemented to reduce greenhouse gasses emissions. Implementation of policies by developed countries has an objective of reducing greenhouse gasses directly or indirectly. However, these policies can produce important changes in factor allocation, relative prices in specific countries as well as on world markets when

Economic impact assessment of climate change on agriculture in Burkina Faso: A Ricardian approach

The mission of the Centre for Environmental Economics and Policy in Africa (CEEPA) is to enhance the capacity of African researchers to conduct environmental economics and policy inquiry of relevance to African problems and increase the awareness of the role of environmental economics in sustainable development for economic managers and policy makers. CEEPA PUBLICATIONS Aims and Scope CEEPA publishes peer-reviewed work in environmental economics in its Discussion Paper Series and other publications. The goal of the publications is to promote the exchange of ideas among environmental economists conducting both quantitative and qualitative analysis for both analytical and applied policy design in the public and private sectors in Africa. CEEPA also publishes research materials intended as useful resources for researchers, policy makers and students in environmental economics and policy.
