Using Advanced Technology-Rich Models for Regional And Global Economic Analysis of GHG Mitigation

  • Chapter
Decision & Control in Management Science

Part of the book series: Advances in Computational Management Science ((AICM,volume 4))

Abstract

This article presents the case for a detailed regional analysis of the economic impacts of GHG control, via a set of inter-connected, long term, technology rich, integrated equilibrium models of the energy systems of the countries constituting a region of interest. The potential extension to global analysis is also examined. The article applies the proposed methodology to the region composed of Canada and the United States of America.
