Fine particulate pollution (PM2.5) is a leading mortality risk factor in the People's Republic of China (PRC) and many Asian countries. Current studies of PM2.5 mortality have been conducted at the national and provincial levels, or at the grid-based micro level, and report only the exposure index or attributable premature deaths. Little is known about the welfare implications of PM2.5 mortality for urban areas. In this study, we estimate the total cost of PM2.5 mortality, the benefit of its reduction achieved through meeting various air quality targets, and the benefit of mortality reduction achieved through a uniform 10 micrograms per cubic meter decrease in PM2.5 concentration in the urban areas of 300 major cities in the PRC. Significant heterogeneity exists in welfare indicators across rich versus poor and clean versus dirty cities. The results indicate that cities in the PRC should accelerate the fine particulate pollution control process and implement more stringent air quality targets to achieve much greater mortality reduction benefits.
细颗粒物污染(PM2.5)是中华人民共和国和许多亚洲国家的主要死亡风险因素。目前对PM2.5死亡率的研究是在国家和省级层面进行的,或者是在基于网格的微观层面进行的,并且只报告了暴露指数或可归因的过早死亡。PM2.5死亡率对城市地区的福利影响知之甚少。在本研究中,我们估算了PM2.5死亡率的总成本、通过满足各种空气质量目标而实现的降低死亡率的效益,以及通过在中国300个主要城市的城市地区将PM2.5浓度均匀降低10微克/立方米而实现的降低死亡率的效益。富裕城市与贫穷城市、清洁城市与污染城市之间的福利指标存在显著的异质性。结果表明,中国城市应加快细颗粒物污染控制进程,实施更严格的空气质量目标,以实现更大的死亡率降低效益。

Xing Chen, Jintao Xu
The People's Republic of China (PRC) launched seven emissions trading scheme (ETS) pilot projects in 2013–2014 to explore a cost-effective approach for low-carbon development. The central government subsequently announced its plans for the full-fledged implementation of ETS in the entire PRC in late 2017. To ensure the success of ETS in the PRC, it is necessary to gain a better understanding of the experiences and lessons learned in the pilot projects. In this paper, we provide a policy overview of the seven pilot projects, including policy design, legislative basis, and market performance. We use the synthetic control method to evaluate the carbon mitigation effect of each of the seven ETS pilots. Our findings are that success has been limited and uneven across the pilot projects, which warrants deeper evaluation of the differences between them and caution in scheme expansion. Results from the analysis also shed light on policy improvements that can benefit the nationwide development of ETS.
2013-2014年,中国启动了7个碳排放交易机制试点项目,探索低碳发展的成本效益途径。随后,中央政府宣布计划于2017年底在全国全面实施碳排放交易体系。为了确保ETS在中国取得成功,有必要更好地了解试点项目的经验和教训。在本文中,我们提供了七个试点项目的政策概述,包括政策设计,立法依据和市场绩效。本文采用综合控制方法对七个碳排放交易体系试点的碳减排效果进行了评价。我们的发现是,试点项目的成功是有限和不平衡的,这需要对它们之间的差异进行更深入的评估,并在计划扩展时保持谨慎。分析结果还揭示了有利于全国ETS发展的政策改进。

Fossil Fuel Subsidy Reform in the Developing World: Who Wins, Who Loses, and Why? 发展中国家的化石燃料补贴改革:谁赢了,谁输了,为什么?
IF 1.5 Q4 DEVELOPMENT STUDIES Pub Date : 2018-08-01 DOI: 10.1162/adev_a_00119

Fossil fuel subsidies are widespread in developing countries, where reform efforts are often derailed by disputes over the likely distribution of gains and losses. The impacts of subsidy reform are transmitted to households through changes in energy prices and prices of other goods and services, as well as through factor earnings. Most empirical studies focus on consumer expenditures alone, and computable general equilibrium analyses typically report only total effects without decomposing them by source. Meanwhile, analytical models neglect important open-economy characteristics relevant to developing countries. In this paper, we develop an analytical model of a small open economy with a preexisting fossil fuel subsidy and identify direct and indirect impacts of subsidy reform on real household incomes. Our results, illustrated with data from Viet Nam, highlight two important drivers of distributional change: (i) the mix of tradable and nontradable goods, reflecting the structure of a trade-dependent economy; and (ii) household heterogeneity in sources of factor income.
化石燃料补贴在发展中国家很普遍,这些国家的改革努力经常因收益和损失可能分配的争议而脱轨。补贴改革的影响通过能源价格、其他商品和服务价格的变化以及要素收益传递给家庭。大多数实证研究只关注消费者支出,可计算的一般均衡分析通常只报告总效应,而不按来源进行分解。同时,分析模型忽略了与发展中国家相关的重要开放经济特征。在本文中,我们建立了一个先前存在化石燃料补贴的小型开放经济体的分析模型,并确定了补贴改革对实际家庭收入的直接和间接影响。越南的数据表明,我们的结果突出了分配变化的两个重要驱动因素:(一)可贸易和不可贸易商品的组合,反映了依赖贸易的经济结构;二要素收入来源的家庭异质性。

The People's Republic of China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea have launched individual emission trading schemes to control greenhouse gas emissions cost-effectively. This paper reviews key carbon market design elements in the three countries in terms of emission allowances, covered sectors, allowance allocations, monitoring, reporting and verification, compliance and penalties, and offset markets. We assess the performances of the emission trading schemes among the three countries based on secondary-market allowance transactions. Considering heterogeneous climate policy designs in the region, we explore various approaches for the linkage of East Asian carbon markets. Cooperation on carbon markets is instrumental for regional and global climate governance. It could not only help achieve cost-effective emission reductions in the region, but also signal the commitment of the three countries to climate change mitigation.
中华人民共和国、日本和大韩民国推出了单独的排放交易计划,以成本效益控制温室气体排放。本文回顾了这三个国家在排放配额、涵盖的部门、配额分配、监测、报告和核查、合规和处罚以及抵消市场方面的关键碳市场设计要素。我们根据二级市场补贴交易评估了这三个国家排放交易计划的表现。考虑到该地区不同的气候政策设计,我们探索了东亚碳市场联系的各种方法。碳市场合作有助于区域和全球气候治理。这不仅有助于在该地区实现具有成本效益的减排,而且标志着三国对缓解气候变化的承诺。

Indonesia's Moratorium on Palm Oil Expansion from Natural Forests: Economy-Wide Impacts and the Role of International Transfers 印度尼西亚暂停从天然林中开采棕榈油:全经济的影响和国际转让的作用
IF 1.5 Q4 DEVELOPMENT STUDIES Pub Date : 2018-08-01 DOI: 10.1162/adev_a_00115

Indonesia has introduced a moratorium on the conversion of natural forests to land used for palm oil production. Using a dynamic, bottom-up, interregional computable general equilibrium model of the Indonesian economy, we assess several scenarios of the moratorium and discuss its impacts on the domestic economy as well as on regional economies within Indonesia. We find the moratorium reduces Indonesian economic growth and other macroeconomic indicators, but international transfers can more than compensate the welfare losses. The impacts also vary across regions. Sumatra, which is highly dependent on palm oil and is home to forests that no longer have a high carbon stock, receives fewer transfers and suffers the greatest economic loss. Kalimantan, which is relatively less dependent on palm oil and has forests with a relatively high carbon stock, receives more transfers and gets greater benefit. This implies that additional policy measures anticipating the unbalanced impacts of the moratorium are required if the trade-off between conservation and reducing interregional economic disparity is to be reconciled.
印度尼西亚已暂停将天然林转为棕榈油生产用地。使用印尼经济的动态、自下而上、区域间可计算的一般均衡模型,我们评估了暂停的几种情景,并讨论了其对国内经济以及印尼境内区域经济的影响。我们发现,暂停令降低了印尼的经济增长和其他宏观经济指标,但国际转移支付可以弥补福利损失。影响也因地区而异。苏门答腊岛高度依赖棕榈油,是不再有高碳储量的森林的家园,其转让较少,经济损失最大。加里曼丹对棕榈油的依赖相对较少,森林碳储量相对较高,因此获得了更多的转移,并获得了更大的利益。这意味着,如果要调和保护和减少区域间经济差距之间的权衡,就需要采取额外的政策措施来预测暂停的不平衡影响。

Does Climate Change Bolster the Case for Fishery Reform in Asia? 气候变化是否支持亚洲渔业改革?

I examine the estimated economic, ecological, and food security effects of future fishery management reform in Asia. Without climate change, most Asian fisheries stand to gain substantially from reforms. Optimizing fishery management could increase catch by 24% and profit by 34% over business-as-usual management. These benefits arise from fishing some stocks more conservatively and others more aggressively. Although climate change is expected to reduce carrying capacity in 55% of Asian fisheries, I find that under climate change large benefits from fishery management reform are maintained, though these benefits are heterogeneous. The case for reform remains strong for both catch and profit, though these numbers are slightly lower than in the no-climate change case. These results suggest that, to maximize economic output and food security, Asian fisheries will benefit substantially from the transition to catch shares or other economically rational fishery management institutions, despite the looming effects of climate change.
我研究了亚洲未来渔业管理改革对经济、生态和粮食安全的影响。如果没有气候变化,大多数亚洲渔业将从改革中获得巨大收益。优化渔业管理可以使捕获量比正常经营管理增加24%,利润增加34%。这些好处来自于更保守地捕捞一些鱼类和更积极地捕捞另一些鱼类。尽管气候变化预计会降低55%的亚洲渔业的承载能力,但我发现,在气候变化的情况下,渔业管理改革带来的巨大效益仍然存在,尽管这些效益是异质性的。尽管这些数字略低于没有气候变化的情况,但对捕获量和利润进行改革的理由仍然很充分。这些结果表明,为了最大限度地提高经济产出和粮食安全,亚洲渔业将从向捕捞份额或其他经济上合理的渔业管理制度的过渡中获益,尽管气候变化的影响迫在眉睫。

Temperature Variability and Mortality: Evidence from 16 Asian Countries 温度变异性和死亡率:来自16个亚洲国家的证据

This paper presents an empirical analysis devised to understand the complex relationship between extreme temperatures and mortality in 16 Asian countries where more than 50% of the world's population resides. Using a country-year panel on mortality rates and various measures of high temperatures for 1960–2015, the analysis produces two primary findings. First, high temperatures significantly increase annual mortality rates in Asia. Second, this increase is larger in countries with cooler climates where high temperatures are infrequent. These empirical estimates can help inform climate change impact projections on human health for Asia, which is considered to be highly vulnerable to climate change. The results indicate that unabated warming until the end of the century could increase annual mortality rates by more than 40%, highlighting the need for concrete and rapid actions to help individuals and communities adapt to climate change.
本文提出了一项实证分析,旨在了解极端温度与16个亚洲国家死亡率之间的复杂关系,这些国家占世界人口的50%以上。通过对1960年至2015年的死亡率和各种高温测量数据进行国家年度小组分析,该分析得出了两个主要发现。首先,高温显著增加了亚洲的年死亡率。其次,在气候较冷、高温不常见的国家,这种增长幅度更大。这些经验性估计有助于为气候变化对亚洲人类健康的影响预测提供信息,亚洲被认为极易受到气候变化的影响。结果表明,到本世纪末,持续变暖可能会使年死亡率增加40%以上,这突出表明需要采取具体和迅速的行动来帮助个人和社区适应气候变化。

Regional Crop Diversity and Weather Shocks in India 印度的区域作物多样性和天气冲击

Agriculture in both the developing and developed country context is highly sensitive to weather shocks. The intensity of these shocks is likely to increase under climate change, leading to an ongoing debate regarding the ability of farmers to insulate yields and income against accelerating environmental extremes. We study crop diversity as an avenue for increased resilience. Diversity in agricultural systems has been suggested in the agroecology and environmental economics literatures as a powerful means of on-farm insurance, both through physical and market-based channels. However, large-scale empirical evidence of its effectiveness is lacking, and crop diversity is largely absent from the empirical climate impacts literature. We examine the insurance benefits of crop diversity in the context of India at the height of the Green Revolution, a period of rapid change in agricultural diversification due to the increased penetration of a small set of high-yielding variety crops. Building on a basic empirical model from the climate impacts literature, we show that areas with higher crop diversity of planted area display measurably more drought resilience, both in terms of gross and net revenues. We decompose this aggregate result to show that diversification has implications for farmer welfare both through physical (yield) and market (price) channels.
发展中国家和发达国家的农业对天气冲击都非常敏感。在气候变化的情况下,这些冲击的强度可能会增加,这引发了一场关于农民是否有能力将产量和收入与日益加剧的极端环境隔离开来的持续辩论。我们研究作物多样性,将其作为提高复原力的途径。农业生态学和环境经济学文献认为,农业系统的多样性是通过实物和市场渠道进行农业保险的有力手段。然而,缺乏其有效性的大规模实证证据,气候影响实证文献中也基本上没有作物多样性。我们在绿色革命最激烈的印度背景下研究了作物多样性的保险效益。绿色革命是一个农业多样化快速变化的时期,由于一小部分高产品种作物的渗透性增加。基于气候影响文献中的基本经验模型,我们表明,种植面积作物多样性较高的地区在总收入和净收入方面都表现出明显更强的抗旱能力。我们对这一总体结果进行分解,以表明多样化通过实物(产量)和市场(价格)渠道对农民福利都有影响。

We decompose this aggregate result to show that diversification has implications for farmer welfare both through physical (yield) and market (price) channels.","PeriodicalId":39852,"journal":{"name":"Asian Development Review","volume":"35 1","pages":"113-130"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1162/adev_a_00116","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41676521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines how interfirm heterogeneities in modes of technology acquisition and technology intensities are linked to firm ownership in India using a panel data set of about 2,000 firms listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange for the period 2003–2014 drawn from the Prowess database of the Center for Monitoring Indian Economy. Foreign ownership is categorized according to the level of control exercised by foreign firms as defined under the Companies Act of India. A comparative analysis of domestic and different categories of foreign firms was conducted for two time periods: (i) the global boom period of 2004–2008, and (ii) the post global financial crisis period of 2008–2014. A horizontal cluster analysis of 3-digit, industry-level data shows that foreign firms cluster in high-technology industries. The propensity score matching analysis, however, reveals that in a matched sample of foreign and domestic firms, majority-owned foreign firms spend less on research and development and more on technology transfers than their local counterparts, demonstrating that the level of equity holdings by a foreign firm matters. There is little evidence of the global financial crisis affecting the relocation of research and development activities to India. An alternative assessment based on panel data regression analysis confirms these findings and validates the propensity score matching results.
本研究利用2003-2014年期间在孟买证券交易所上市的约2000家公司的面板数据集,从监测印度经济中心的实力数据库中提取数据,考察了技术获取模式和技术强度的企业间异质性与印度企业所有权之间的关系。根据《印度公司法》界定的外国公司行使的控制水平,对外国所有权进行分类。对国内和不同类别的外国公司进行了两个时间段的比较分析:(i) 2004-2008年的全球繁荣时期,以及(ii) 2008-2014年的全球金融危机后时期。对三位数行业数据的横向聚类分析显示,外资企业集中在高科技行业。然而,倾向得分匹配分析显示,在外国公司和国内公司的匹配样本中,多数股权的外国公司在研究和发展上的支出比当地公司少,在技术转让上的支出更多,这表明外国公司持有的股权水平很重要。几乎没有证据表明,全球金融危机影响了研发活动向印度的转移。另一种基于面板数据回归分析的评估证实了这些发现,并验证了倾向评分匹配结果。
