“…By establishing a single-country (Japan) dynamic computable general equilibrium model with endogenous technological change, Matsumoto [10] evaluated the economic and environmental effects of climate change mitigation in a country scale considering various time horizons in the analysis. O'Ryan et al [11] developed a dynamic CGE model for Chile and made a quantitative analysis of the socioeconomic and environmental impacts of different trade agreements. This study aimed to compare the consequences of unilateral liberalization and trade agreements from Chile with the performance from European Union (EU) and the United States (USA).…”

This paper investigates the development trends and variation characteristics of China's economy, energy consumption and carbon emissions from 2007 to 2030, and the impacts on China's economic growth, energy consumption, and carbon emissions under the carbon tax policy scenarios, based on the dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model. The results show that during the simulation period, China's economy will keep a relatively high growth rate, but the growth rate will slow down under the benchmark scenario. The energy consumption intensity and the carbon emissions intensity per unit of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will continually decrease. The energy consumption structure and industrial structure will gradually optimize. With the economic growth, the total energy consumption will constantly increase, and the carbon dioxide emissions are still large, and the situation of energy-saving and emission-reduction is still serious. The carbon tax is very important for energy-saving and emission-reduction and energy consumption structure optimization, and the effect of the carbon tax on GDP is small. If the carbon tax could be levied and the enterprise income tax could be reduced at the same time, the dual goals of reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions and increasing the GDP growth can be achieved. Improving the technical progress level of clean power while implementing a carbon tax policy is very meaningful to optimize energy consumption structure and reduce the carbon emissions, but it has some offsetting effect to reduce energy consumption.

“…That would be the case if the relatively high domestic saving rate that is necessarily associated to an external demand-reliant pattern fosters growth, in particular, by sustaining a relatively more competitive real exchange rate. While this section does not establish the actual domestic savings-real exchange rate-growth causal links, it shows comparative data for LAC-SAM (South America and Mexico) and the four Southeast Asian 34 See Valdes and Foster (2003), Regunaga (2010), andO'Ryan et al (2011). 35 See Mandel (2009).…”

The Policy Research Working Paper Series disseminates the findings of work in progress to encourage the exchange of ideas about development issues. An objective of the series is to get the findings out quickly, even if the presentations are less than fully polished. The papers carry the names of the authors and should be cited accordingly. The findings, interpretations, and conclusions expressed in this paper are entirely those of the authors. They do not necessarily represent the views of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development/World Bank and its affiliated organizations, or those of the Executive Directors of the World Bank or the governments they represent.

“…Much of this literature has been cast in terms of the scale and composition effects of trade liberalization, the greater levels of both depletion and emissions associated with higher levels of output being the scale effect, and the reallocation of resources towards activities in which a country has comparative advantage being the composition effect. The two effects have the capacity to move in the same or opposite directions depending on the nature of environmental policies in all countries (Abler et al , 1999; Barrett, 2000; Coxhead and Jayasuriya, 2004; O'Ryan et al , 2011).…”

This paper reviews the evolution of the field of environment and development over the last two decades. I argue that a central concern of the field has been the relation between natural resource use, income and growth, under the institutional and market conditions that prevail in developing countries. Particular attention is paid to the demographic and other drivers of change in the asset base, the linkages between poverty, property rights and the allocation of natural resources, the valuation of environmental assets and investment of resource rents, and the development of policies for managing environmental externalities and environmental public goods. I consider how the balance between topics and the treatment of individual topics has changed over time, and indicate how the field might be expected to move in the future.
