On the Effect of Greenhouse Gas Abatement in Japanese Economy: an Overlapping
Generations Approach
Shimasawa Manabu
Akita University
March 2006
2
Slide2 Background
Goal of the project: the model analysis using Japanese NAMEA.
Key future in this paper: multi-sector, life-cycle agents.
Focus is on intergenerational equity of the greenhouse gas abatement policy.
3
Slide3 Background
The policy aimed at mitigating the problems of climate change has very long time horizon.
The greenhouse gas emission abatement policy has twofold aspects:
- (i) the effects to present various industries and macro economy
- (ii) the intergenerational equity problem
4
Slide4 Background
In Japan many researchers used simulation model in order to quantify the effect of greenhouse gas abatement policy.
- MARIA (Prof.Mori Tokyo university of Science)
- AIM model (NIES)
- GAMES (Prof.Goto Univ. of Tokyo ) But they focused only one aspect, i.e., “the effects to
present various industries and macro economy .”
5
Slide5 Background
This paper presents a multi-sector overlapping generations (OLG) model that captures important characteristics of Japanese economy and industrial structure in order to explore the intergenerational effects of the CO2 emissions abatement policy.
6
Slide6 Background
A number of papers written after the seminal study by Auerbach and Kotlikoff (1987) have examined the impacts of policy changes on the intergenerational equity by using computable general equilibrium models with the overlapping generations.
- Now, A-K type OLG model has been typical tool in order to investigate the impacts of policy changes on intergenerational redistribution.
7
Slide7 Background
Why we use NOT infinitely-lived agent (ILA) model BUT overlapping generations (OLG) model ?
We believe that the OLG framework has several advantages compared to the ILA model from the following reasons.
8
Slide8 Why OLG?
- (i) to investigate distributional effects between generations of greenhouse gas abatement .
- (ii) Schelling (1995) pointed out that using the ILA model in the context of environmental problems involves a fallacy of composition on the intergenerational fairness.

Slide10 The Model
We use Rasmussen Model(2003) with Japanese SAM.
The model assumes - overlapping generations
- perfect foresight households
- eight sectors and nine goods
- benchmark year 2000
11
Slide11 The Model
- calibrated to a 2000 SAM describing the Japanese economy
- perfect competition
- no uncertainty
- infinite supply & demand elasticities for exports and imports to and from the world market
12
Slide12 The Model
- endogenous labor supply
- The effects of greenhouse gas reduction are evaluated by considering the effects of an emissions tax that limits CO2 emissions by an amount roughly conforming to that required by the Kyoto protocol

15
Slide15 The Model
Production
- production activities are modeled by the nested constant elasticity of substitution (CES) and Leontief functions
16
Slide16 The Model
Each sector produces multiple goods and all goods are traded on the world market.
Armington specification is adopted to account for the simultaneous presence of imports and exports.
Energy enters production and final demand in the form of a composite of the 5 energy goods.

Slide21 The Model
Household- each generation enters the model (at age 20) and die (at
age 80) at the end of year g + N (N=59).
- each generation chooses consumption and leisure to maximize his/her intertemporal utility.

Slide34 Main Conclusions
The cost of greenhouse gas emission abatement policy is distributed between generations unequally; small for current generations, large for future generations.
- in the OLG setup, each generation maximizes ONLY his/her own utility, NOT his/her descendants’.
- the reduction cost of CO2 abatement would rise rapidly, because we need to consume more fossil fuel in the process economy evolve under the constant technical level.
