ZhongXiang Zhang (East-West Center, Honolulu) uses a global model
based on marginal abatement cost curves for 12 world regions to
estimate the contributions of the three flexibility mechanisms
under the Kyoto Protocol, i. e. emissions trading, joint
implementation, and the clean development mechanism. He shows how
the reduction in compliance costs of industrialized regions depends
on the extent to which the flexibility mechanisms will be
available. Not surprisingly, the fewer the restrictions on the use
of flexibility mechanisms will be, the greater the gains from their
use. These gains are unevenly distributed, however, with
industrialized regions that have the highest autarkic marginal
abatement costs tending to benefit the most. Restrictions on the
use of flexibility mechanisms not only reduce the potential of the
industrialized regions' efficiency gains, but are also not
beneficial to developing countries since they restrict the total
financial flows to developing countries under the clean development
mechanism. Christoph Bohringer (ZEW, Mannheim), Glenn W. Harrison
(University of South Carolina, Columbia), and Thomas F. Rutherford
(University of Colorado, Boulder) evaluate the welfare implications
of alternative ways in which the EU could distribute its aggregate
emission reduction commitment under the Kyoto Protocol across
member states. Using a large-scale CGE model, they compare a
uniform proportional cutback in emissions and the actual EU burden
sharing agreement with an equitable allocation scheme derived from
an endogenous burden sharing calculation. The latter equalizes the
relative welfare cost across member states.
