Özet:

 


This paper examines the
possibility of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Turkey and estimates its
costs in a number of sectors of the economy. The main output of this paper is
introduced as a "marginal cost reduction curve" or MACC for Turkish
economic sectors. A MACC is a graphical representation of the extent of
emissions reductions that can be achieved through carbon pricing made in
different rates across the economy, and the benefits or costs associated with
reducing emissions per ton. 





In order to build the
MACCs for Turkish economy, we use computable general equilibrium model. The
scenarios of the model is to run the model under different constraints
corresponding to different carbon prices, such as 1,5, 10, 25, 50, 75, and 100
dollars per ton of carbon. For each set of carbon price constraints, the
corresponding regional levels of carbon abatement are generated by the model.
We then determine the levels of abatement as a function of the carbon prices
for economy.
