题目：Empirical Analyses of Economic Climate Policies

报告摘要：
Aiming to support the discussions of climate policies from the business perspective, Kansai Research Centre of Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (KRC/IGES) arranged a project, namely ‘Market-based Instruments (MBIs) for Improving Company’s Carbon Performance in Northeast Asia’, during 2010 to 2012. The MBIs project targets the three major economies in this region, including Japan, China and the Republic of Korea, and gives the focus to how to design carbon pricing tools acceptable for the industry. This lecture introduces the research outputs from the MBIs project, particularly the empirical analyses in China. The main contents include the measurement of energy saving practices of Chinese companies and the determinants, the estimations of carbon prices affordable for the companies using the approach of willingness-to-pay (WTP), and the analysis of company’s preference to the alternatives of carbon pricing policies through a choice experiment. This lecture may enhance the understanding of company’sopinions to carbon pricing tools, which are viewed cost-effective but always against by the industry.
