Efficiency and Equity of Climate Change Policy is a comprehensive
assessment of the economic effects of climate change policy, addressing
the issues with a quantitative modelling approach. The book thus goes
beyond the usual statements on the efficiency of economic instruments to
identify the way gains and losses are distributed; who gains and who
loses. Both the costs and benefits of climate change policies are
analyzed. Most papers also provide useful information on the economic
features of the Kyoto Protocol, its possible extensions, and the effect
of different implementation strategies (such as the debate on emissions
trading ceilings).
Readership: Scientists and policy makers, students and specialists in
climate related industries, members of NGOs, and policy advisors.
