  1. Technology Change and US Participation in the Kyoto Protocol Jeffrey Binggeli and Joachim Schleich

  2. Research design based on GTAP-E Scenario 1: US participates in Kyoto Protocol (KP); no technological change (TC) in the electricity generation from coal quota for USA, full trading among all Annex 1; afall ("Coal, "Electricity", "USA") = 0; Scenario 2: US does not participate in KP; no TC no quota for USA, full trading among other Annex 1, afall ("Coal, "Electricity", "USA") = 0; Scenario 3: US does not participate in KP; TC no quota for USA, full trading among other Annex 1, afall ("Coal, "Electricity", "USA") = 10; Scenario 4: US participates in KP; TC quota for USA, full trading among all Annex 1, afall ("Coal, "Electricity", "USA") = 10;

  3. Selected results

  4. Conclusions • TC in electricity generation from coal in the US results in: • - a decrease in coal output (dominating technology effect) • a decrease in electricity generation in the US under Kyoto only • substitution of gas by coal • higher welfare gains to US, if US participates in KP (b/c of lower MAC) • TC in US is more beneficial to other countries, if US participates in KP • TC of 10% is not enough to make US participation in KP beneficial (from US perspective!) because of „Hot Air“ from Russia • Would need TC >> 50% to make US benefit from participation
