In Climate Change - Research and Technology for Adaptation and Mitigation
There have been a lot of debates around the concerns of international competitiveness and carbon leakage which are related to the asymmetric implementation of climate policies in the Annex I and non-Annex I countries as a result of the Kyoto Protocol. Border adjustment measures (BAM), in particular border tax adjustment (BTA), are proposed to...

In 19th International Input-Output Conference, 13-17 June 2011, Alexandria, Virginia, USA
Sector aggregation can influence the robustness of the results of environmentally-extended analysis using MRIO models which limits its practical application. In this paper, we examined the size of the aggregation error in carbon footprint accounting using MRIO models and tried to explore factors which influence the effect of the aggregation error...
Peer-reviewed Article
In 19th International Input-Output Conference, 13-17 June 2011, Alexandria, Virginia, USA
Competitiveness and carbon leakage are two central concerns in the international negotiations of a future climate policy. With more attentions given to border adjustment measures to address these concerns, it is rational to consider consumption-based national inventory to account for emissions embodied in international trade. In this work, we...

Peer-reviewed Article
In Journal of Environmental Economics and Policy
This paper points out major problems associated with conventional accounting method of ecological footprint and provides a regional approach for ecological footprint calculation using the multi-regional input-output model and regional land use data. By accounting for the ecological footprints of China’s eight regions, this paper draws two...
Data or Tool
Government policies promoting biofuels will have economic impacts on different sectors, especially agriculture, transportation and fossil fuels, as well as social impacts on employment, particularly in rural areas in developing countries. To assess these economy-wide impacts within a country or among countries, CGE models are usually considered as...
Peer-reviewed Article
In International Environmental Agreements: Politics, Law and Economics
Asian countries are building domestic institutions in response to climate change at both the international and domestic levels. Many countries have adopted the inter-agency coordination mechanism (IACM) as a national institutional approach to adjust the functions of various governmental agencies to tackle climate change. This article compares and...
Peer-reviewed Article
In Ecological Economics
The calculation of national ecological footprints usingworld average productivities can lead to biased results due to the neglect of spatial variation in in-situ ecological impacts. To address this issue,we apply a regional approach to generate ecological footprints based on the multi-region input–output model. This method enables us to trace the...
Non Peer-reviewed Article
Carbon leakage and international competitiveness are two policy concerns related to the asymmetric domestic climate policies as a result of the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol. Among other policy alternatives, the use of offsetting measures at the border to level the playing field is getting popular in policy debates. Climate change related...
