Outline of Final Research Achievements

Japan has decided to reduce greenhouse gases by 80% until 2050. To achieve the target, the government plans to introduce various GHG abatement policies. To discuss such policies, the information about their economic impacts is very important. This study aims to quantitatively analyze the economic impacts of the future GHG reduction policies and nuclear reduction policies in Japan.

For the analysis, we use the simulation approach by a computable general equilibrium model. As a result of our analysis, we have shown the economic impacts of GHG reduction policies in Japan.
