FEEM seminar on “Macroeconomic Impacts of Sectoral Approaches: The Role of the Cement Sector”
Meno di un minuto
Sectoral approaches to climate change mitigation may represent viable options to engage emerging economies such as China, Mexico and Brazil in setting low-carbon policies and to assess the impacts of mitigation policies on key industries in the EU. Drawing on the example of the cement sector, alternative designs of sectoral approaches to climate mitigation -developed within a standard Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) framework integrated with bottom-up marginal abatement cost curves from relevant sectoral studies- will be presented and discussed on October 6, 2011 at the FEEM seminar given by Sebastian Voigt, Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW), and visiting fellow at FEEM.
