Modelización de los efectos macroeconómicos del calentamiento global

Resumen

En este artículo realizamos una panorámica de los modelos macroeconómicos medioambientales que abordan los costes económicos del cambio climático, y simulan los efectos de las políticas con las que reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, mediante impuestos medioambientales que reflejen el coste social del carbono y las inversiones en nuevas tecnologías que permiten reducir o capturar las emisiones de CO₂ y producir energía verde. En el artículo también se resumen los principales resultados de la investigación empírica que, utilizando distintas metodologías econométricas, estima los efectos económicos del cambio climático y de la imposición medioambiental.
