MODELLING THE COSTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY: A DYNAMIC APPLIED GENERAL EQUILIBRIUM ASSESSMENT

Book ID/图书代码： 04289510B37835

English Summary/英文概要： This important new book enhances our understanding of the dynamic interactions between economic activity, economic growth, pollution abatement and environmental policy. It addresses one main policy problem: how can the direct and indirect costs of environmental policy for multiple pollutants be properly assessed in an applied model?

Using an original methodology, the author constructs a multi-sectoral dynamic applied general equilibrium model. This new integrated model greatly improves the empirical analysis of the dynamic reactions of economic agents to pollution control, explicitly taking into account the direct and indirect effects of abatement on the economy and the environment. The author goes on to apply the model to study the costs of various environmental policies including climate change, acidification, eutrophication, smog formation and the dispersion of fine dust. He finds that if environmental policies can be implemented simultaneously and in a cost-effective manner, the economic costs of these policies can be effectively limited through a combination of economic restructuring and adopting technical abatement measures.

Modelling the Costs of Environmental Policy will prove essential and enlightening reading for scholars, students and researchers of environmental and resource economics, environmental policy and economic modelling.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书最能令读者获益之处在于，它能够增强我们对经济活动、经济增长、污染减排以及环境政策相互之间动态作用的理解。本书涉及到一个重要的政策论题：如何使得多种污染物环境政策的直接和间接开支在应用模型中能够得以合理的评估？
使用原始的方法，笔者构建了一个多部门动态应用普遍均衡模型。这种新的一体化模式，大大提高经济主体对于污染控制动态作用的实证分析，明确考虑到对经济和环境治理的直接和间接影响。笔者接着运用模型来研究各种环境政策的成本，包括气候变化，酸化，富营养化，烟雾的形成和细微粉尘的扩散。他认为，如果环境政策可以同时实施，并符合成本效益，这些政策的经济成本可以有效地通过经济结构调整和采取减排措施相结合的技术来加以限制。
对于学者、学生以及从事环境和资源经济学、环境政策和经济模式的研究人员来说，《建模环境政策成本》（MODELLING THE COSTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY）是非常具有启发性的一本书，值得一读。(兼职翻译FSF)

Awards/获奖情况："’In this book, Rob Dellink shows he is a skillful applied modeller of environment-economy interactions. The DEAN model that is developed is innovative in its treatment of environmental resources, careful in its dynamic structure, yet simple in its basic set up. Importantly, the model codes (GAMS) are freely accessible on the Internet. The book also includes three stylized models that will prove to be a great help for students who want to understand the basics of environmental policy analysis in general equilibrium models. The full DEAN model, on the other hand, will be more useful to advanced researchers who want to develop their own simulations. The book is also valuable in its own right, as it presents a fine examination of various environmental policies and their economic consequences.’---Reyer gerlagh, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, the Netherlands

’Extending economic models to include environmental emissions and environmental policy is now commonplace. Yet, the linking is often ad hoc and based on peculiar assumptions. In this book, Rob Dellink shows how emissions and emission reduction policies for five different environmental issues can be included in a forward-looking computable general equilibrium model, building emissions into production and consumption functions. At the technical level the book is superb and stands out for its exact specification of how this is done.’---Richard S.J. Tol, Hamburg University, Germany, Free University Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Carnegie Mellon University, US"

本书中作者充分显示了，自身在掌控环境-经济相互作用这一应用模式上驾轻就熟的技巧。
书中包括三个程式化的模式，对于想要了解均衡模型中环境政策分析基础的同学会有很大的帮助。另一方面，对于想要进一步开展模拟实验的高级研究员来说，本书也由很强的实用性。
本书还有一个很重要的价值就是它对各种环境政策及其所引发的经济后果提出了很好的检验依据。

经济模式范围扩展到将环境排放和环境政策也包含在内的现象，在当今社会早已是司空见惯，只是此间连接的种种均是基于特殊的假设。而在本书中，B. DELLINK却展示了五个不同环境问题排放及减排政策，是如何被包含在具有前瞻性的普遍均衡模型中。
