Kyoto Protocol and Emission Trading: Does the US Make a Difference?Alessandro LanzaFondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM), Milan; Centre for North South Economic Research (CRENos) Umberto CiorbaENEA Francesco Pauliaffiliation not provided to SSRN December 2001 FEEM Working Paper No. 90.2001 Abstract: This paper presents an estimate of the costs of reducing CO2 emissions as agreed in Kyoto by Annex 1 countries. Unlike most of the existing literature, this paper uses an Almost Ideal Demand System model for energy products to estimate the role of each country within the Annex 1 market. A major result is the provision of marginal (and total) abatement costs for each. The recent position of the US is also discussed, showing the cost of some alternative outcomes.
