Abstract We analyze the long‐term impacts of large‐scale expansion biofuels on land‐use change, food supply and prices, overall economy in various countries or regions using a multi‐country, multi‐sector global computable general equilibrium model augmented with an explicit module detailed biofuel sectors. find that production to meet existing even higher targets would slightly reduce GDP at level but mixed effects across regions. Significant land re‐allocation take place notable decreases...

There is a growing interest in using carbon taxes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, not only industrialized economies but also developing economies. Many countries have considered pricing, including taxes, as policy instruments meet their emission reduction targets set under the Paris Climate Agreement. However, makers, particularly from countries, are seeking clarity on several issues—particularly impacts of economy, distribution these across households, tax design architectures, effects...

This study determines the factors responsible for growth of transport sector CO2 emissions in 20 Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries during 1980–2005 period by decomposing into components associated with changes fuel mix (FM), modal shift economic growth, as well emission coefficients (EC) transportation energy intensity (EI). The key finding is that EI are principal driving considered. While increasing trend Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Peru Uruguay, effect Bolivia, Caribbean,...

Transaction costs (TCs) must be taken into account when assessing the performance of policy instruments that create markets for diffusion and commercialization low-carbon technologies (LCTs). However, there are no comprehensive studies on development application transaction cost analysis to LCTs. In this meta-analysis, a wide-ranging evaluation TCs associated with energy efficiency, renewable energy, carbon market is provided. There plethora different definitions of, measurement techniques...

The existing literature on the relationship between infrastructure and economic growth is inconclusive. We estimate effect GDP of three main categories – transport, electricity, telecommunications using data from 87 countries over period 1992–2017. This study uses more recent than previous research includes new types such as mobile phones. Our estimates use PMG estimator that allows us to test for weak exogeneity variables. key finding an increase in infrastructure, especially electricity...
