Description of model |
GREEN was developed in order to assess the economic impacts of imposing limits on carbon emissions. GREEN is a global computable general equilibrium model with a special focus on energy production and consumption. The GREEN model has a wide range of policy instruments, as well as many other exogenous factors. These include energy-efficiency improvements and the price of new forms of renewable energy. |
|
Particular relevance |
The model is relevant in analysing the impacts of climate change mitigation policies (especially through trading schemes) on energy production and consumption and on energy efficiency and new technologies. |

Model applications |
Environmental effects of liberalising fossil fuels trade: results from the OECD GREEN model - The research in this paper has been done in response to a request from the Trade Committee and the Environment Policy Committee – the parent committees of the Joint Working Party on Trade and Environment, (JWPTE) – to follow-up on earlier JWPTE work concerning the nature and extent of pricing distortions in fossil fuels in the industry and power sectors, and the effects of a potential liberalisation of fossil fuel trade on environmental quality. OECD GREEN model results are used in this analysis. (http://www.olis.oecd.org/olis/2000doc.nsf/LinkTo/NT00002EFE/$FILE/JT00112751.PDF). A (Preliminary) Analysis of the Kyoto Protocol: Using the OECD GREEN Model - This paper attempts to assess the economic costs of achieving the Kyoto emission reduction targets using the OECD GREEN model |
