"The Impacts of Regionally Fragmented Climate Policies on Trade Flows and CO2 Emissions in Northeast Asia: A Recursive Dynamic CGE Analysis"
by Kim, Jintea


Abstract
This study examines the economic and environmental implications of fragmented climate policies in Northeast Asia (NEA)—South Korea, China, Japan, Mongolia, North Korea, and Russia—using a recursive dynamic CGE model based on the PEP-w-t framework. Despite high trade integration, the region faces significant policy asymmetry in decarbonization pathways.
A key contribution of this research is the granular representation of NEA through the explicit disaggregation of six countries, including a newly reconstructed Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) for North Korea. The model utilizes the GTAP-Power 11 Data Base and incorporates recalibrated CES parameters to reflect empirical energy price elasticities. Furthermore, advanced mitigation options, such as backstop technologies and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), are explicitly modeled for hard-to-abate sectors like steel and cement.
