Effects of international climate policy for India: Evidence from a national and global CGE model
Matthias Weitzel, Joydeep Ghosh, Sonja Peterson and Basanta K. Pradhan
Abstract: In order to reach the two degree target it is necessary to
control CO2 emissions also in fast growing emerging economies such as
India. The question is how the Indian economy would be affected by e.g.
including the country into an international climate regime. Existing
analyses with either a global model or a single country computable general
equilibrium model miss important aspects such as distributional issues or
international repercussions. By soft-linking models of these two classes,
we provide a more detailed view on these issues. In particular, we analyze
different options of transferring revenues from domestic carbon taxes and
international transfers to different household types and how different
assumptions on exchange rates affect transfer payments. We also show
effects stemming from international price repercussions. Our analysis
focusses on how these transmission channels affect welfare of nine
different household types
