Doupe - Discussant (Lu) (ANU) Emissions intensity targeting Crawford PhD Conference 2012 1 / 4
Why and what
This is a paper about the meeting environmental policy targets.
China (and others) are focusing on emissions intensity targeting
Intensity = Emissions LevelsIncome
Chinese climate policy is important
Enviro econ 101 focuses on levels
Finds that there is a set of emissions-growth trajectories that can achieveChina’s domestic and international commitments

Levels, income and intensity
Emissions Levels(E )
Income(I )
E = Intensity0 × I
E = Intensity1 × I

Comments
How is this modelled?
Technology change (AEEI) appears to be exogenousThere is a numerical algorithm from a previous paper
minTax Profile
Economic Loss subject to Intensity Target
So, what does this paper do that is novel?
Broader question
How does one design policy that achieves a medium term emissionsintensity target?
