    • Biomass Energy and Competition for Land 

      Reilly, John; Paltsev, Sergey (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2007-04)
      We describe an approach for incorporating biomass energy production and competition for land into the MIT Emissions Prediction and Policy Analysis (EPPA) model, a computable general equilibrium model of the world economy, ...

    • Canada’s Bitumen Industry Under CO2 Constraints 

      Chen, Y.-H. Henry; Paltsev, Sergey; Reilly, John; Chan, Gabriel (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2010-01)
      We investigate the effects of implementing CO2 emissions reduction policies on Canada’s oil sands industry, the largest of its kind in the world. The production of petroleum products from oils sands involves extraction of ...

    • Carbon Tax Revenue and the Budget Deficit: A Win-Win-Win Solution? 

      Rausch, Sebastian; Reilly, John (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2012-08)
      Bush-era tax cuts are scheduled to expire at the end of 2012, leading to interest in raising revenue through a carbon tax. This revenue could be used to either cut other taxes or to avoid cuts in Federal programs. There ...

    • Electricity Investments under Technology Cost Uncertainty and Stochastic Technological Learning 

      Morris, Jennifer; Webster, Mort; Reilly, John (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2016-05-10)
      Given that electricity generation investments are expected to operate for 40 or more years, the decisions we make today can have long-term impacts on the electricity system and the ability and cost of meeting long-term ...

    • Green Growth and the Efficient Use of Natural Resources 

      Reilly, John (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2012-06-14)
      The relatively new concept of "green growth" can be fruitfully connected to concepts and theories in neoclassical economics including market externalities, Ricardian and Hotelling rents, and policies that would correct ...

    • Heavier Crude, Changing Demand for Petroleum Fuels, Regional Climate Policy, and the Location of Upgrading Capacity: 

      Reilly, John; Paltsev, Sergey; Choumert, Frederic (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2007-04)
      The crude slate is likely to become heavier in the future with greater reliance on bitumens, tar sands, heavy oils, and eventually possibly shale oil. Under standard refining processes these crude oil sources produce a ...

    • Valuing Climate Impacts in Integrated Assessment Models: The MIT IGSM 

      Reilly, John; Paltsev, Sergey; Selin, Noelle E.; Cai, Yongxia; Nam, Kyung-Min; e.a. (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2012-05-22)
      We discuss a strategy for investigating the impacts of climate change on Earth’s physical, biological and human resources and links to their socio-economic consequences. The features of the integrated global system framework ...

    • Will Border Carbon Adjustments Work? 

      Reilly, John; Paltsev, Sergey; Winchester, Niven (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2010-02)
      The potential for greenhouse gas (GHG) restrictions in some nations to drive emission increases in other nations, or leakage, is a contentious issue in climate change negotiations. We evaluate the potential for border ...
