Abstract
SUMMARYThe objective of this study is to present some preliminary estimates of regional long run benefits and costs due to the CO2 greenhouse effect within an economic framework that permits an appraisal of CO2 policy control costs. We utilize a mathematical programming framework to solve for growth paths for North and South America both for CO2 constrained (by an optimal emissions tax rate) and unconstrained scenarios. The possible losses to North America and gains to South America suggest international cooperation on CO2 control policy may be very difficult. Cooperative adjustments to increased CO2 may prove more feasible.
