Abstract
This paper argues that large scale economic models have an important role to play in evaluating alternative greenhouse gas abatement policies. The role of these economic models is to give some quantitative estimates but more importantly to improve our understanding of the important factors underlying future projections of greenhouse emissions as well providing a framework for exploring the impact of a range of policies. The G-Cubed Multi-country model is outlined and the insights we have learnt from this model are summarised.

| Other | This is the second of two forums sponsored by the National Academies Forum on Australia and the world's changing climate. The first, held in November 1996, focused on the science of climate change, including human responses and projected effects. The second will build on previous discussions by confronting specific public policy issues. Speakers from diverse disciplines will consider the challenge of global climate change and suggest how Australia should respond. The program aims to encourage discussion within Australia in the lead-up to the international Conference on Climate Change, to be held in Japan later this year. This is a forum for reseachers, policy makers, environmentalists, representatives of business and farm sectors, and everyone interested in the impact of the changing climate on Australia's future. |
