    The design on China's carbon tax policy to mitigate climate change

    Chinese Academy for Environmental Planning, 2010
    Carbon tax was an effective policy tool to cope with the climate change and promote energy saving and emission reduction. A Computable General Equilibrium Model was set up to simulate the influence of levy carbon tax on China's macro-economy, energy saving and CO2 emission reduction. The results suggest that low rate carbon tax was a feasible option in China's near future.
