The project CGEUKR (Regulation of Air Pollution and Economic Growth in Ukraine: A General Equilibrium Approach – CGEUKR) aimed at providing an integrated assessment of economic growth, air pollution, related health effects and economic implications of carbon reduction policies in Ukraine.The analysis was carried out both at the country and at the international level.

The project CGEUKR (Regulation of Air Pollution and Economic Growth in Ukraine: A General Equilibrium Approach) aimed at providing an integrated assessment of economic growth, air pollution, related health effects and economic implications of carbon reduction policies in Ukraine. The analysis was carried out both at the country and at the international level.

During the project the following modelling tools have been developed:

  • A forward-looking dynamic general equilibrium model of Ukrainian economy. This model was employed to evaluate the alternative post-2012 CO2 reduction policies for Ukraine.
  • A bottom-up sub-model of electricity sector linked to a top-down recursive-dynamic general equilibrium model. This hybrid model was employed to evaluate the alternative post-2012 CO2 reduction policies for Ukraine.
  • A multi-country dynamic-recursive general equilibrium model ICES completed with equations that connect discharges of non CO2 air pollutants with sectors’ outputs and consumption of fossil fuels.

The project was financed by the European Commission, within the Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowship scheme of the FP7 People Programme, Grant Agreement PIIF-GA-2008-220852. Dr. Olga Diukanova, from Ukraine, was the Marie Curie Fellow. She developed the project under the supervision of Dr. Francesco Bosello.
