This study has developed Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model reflecting endogenous growth economic theory, with the aim of analyzing double dividend hypothesis. This study analyzes possibility of economic growth and environmental improvement at the same time when government recycles the revenue of carbon tax to reduce existed taxes such as consumption tax, labor income tax, corporate tax. It also assesses the case of subsidy on R&D investment of renewable energy. With new and renewable generation technology adopted and disseminated, GDP loss would be lessened to a great degree. Tax recycling would provide economic gain by reducing distortion existed in the existing fiscal structure. The magnitude of economic gains from carbon tax recycling is biggest for recycling into corporate tax, and labor income tax, and then consumption tax in this order. It is also shown that double dividend effects occur in dynamic terms when government uses a carbon tax revenue to subsidize on R&D investment. At the end of the analysis period, emissions reduction would not result in GDP loss but in GDP gain. In particular, recycling into R&D increase would produce the largest and fastest GDP gain. Thus, implementing emissions reduction target would require careful consideration of economic effects by various policy instrument, including carbon tax.

The parking management system can increase driver's convenience with detailed parking information service in the parking lot. At the same time, parking management system consumes non-negligible electrical energy with large amount of sensors, displays and control modules. With the increase in the demand for green and sustainable building design all over the world, it becomes a meaningful issue for parking management system to reduce operating power. This paper presents the preliminary design and estimated results of a parking management system which is optimized to reduce the power consumption mainly on detectors and displays. The system design is based on pre-developed wireless parking detectors, Park Tile and Park Disk. The system has a number of parking space detectors, vehicle count detectors, information displays, guidance terminals and other control units. We have performed system architecture design, communication network design, parking information service scenario planning, battery life regulation and at last operating power estimation. The estimated operating power was 0.93KW per parking-slot, which is 20% of traditional systems. The estimated annual maintenance cost was 18% of traditional systems.

Available evidence suggests that the average marginal propensity to consume (MPC) from the 2001 tax rebate in the US was not nearly as large as that from previous tax cuts. We examine if this phenomenon can be explained by the fact that the widespread use of credit cards has made borrowing accessible for most US households by constructing a model that simulates the dynamic effect of relaxed borrowing constraints. Our model uses Kreps-Porteus preferences which account for independent measures of relative risk aversion and the elasticity of intertemporal substitution, both of which can theoretically affect the willingness to save or spend. Our model shows that the average MPC drops substantially immediately after borrowing constraints are relaxed because few consumers have binding borrowing constraints at that time. The model also shows that consumers gradually reduce their wealth after borrowing constraints are relaxed, causing more of them to have binding constraints over time, which in turn causes the average MPC to rise gradually to a new steady state value that is slightly lower than the original value. This dynamic pattern of the MPC suggests that a greater ability to borrow with credit cards could explain the lower effectiveness of the 2001 tax rebate. In addition, the model predicts that consumers choose to hold lower amounts of liquid assets for precautionary reasons when they have a greater ability to borrow unsecured debt.

For reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the short-term strategy is of existing energy-efficient appliances to facilitate the spread of energy efficiency improvements to improve energy efficiency, energy saving projects that will include investments to enable. R&D is at the core of the long-term strategy. To reduce energy demand, the equipments and processes improved energy efficiency should be developed. In terms of energy supply, the policies for greenhouse gas reduction is to replace fossil fuels by expanding the supply of renewable energy such as solar, wind, geothermal, biomass and nuclear power as nearly zero-emission of greenhouse gas. In terms of energy consumption, measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is in line with the policy for efficiency improvement. The buildings & work-site of high-energy consumption in the building & Industry sectors, should implement a policy to strengthening the voluntary agreement on energy-saving facilities and expand to invest in energy saving facilities.

Due to greenhouse gas increased by human activities, abnormal climate changes are continuously occurring everywhere in the world and internationally people make efforts to reduce the emission of greenhouse gas. Our country also is making endeavors to realize low carbon society on the foundation of the green growth and for this low carbon consumption pattern settlement through green life is necessary. Therefore for the nationals the offering of the information on greenhouse gas emission that is reduced through the change to low carbon life is required. In this study the objects are beef and wine whose weight of import is high among the beverages and foods consumed in the country and we calculated the food mileage and emission of carbon dioxide of the domestic and foreign product beef and wine and estimated the potential amount that can be reduced when replacing the imported products with domestic products. As the year 2007 being standard if we replace 10% of imported beef with domestic products it is possible to reduce 14,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year and on one day out of a year if we replace imported beef with domestic beef the reduction of 384 tons of carbon dioxide is appeared to be possible. In the same standard year if we replace 10% of imported wine with domestic product we can reduce 1,396 tons and on one day out of a year if we replace imported wine with domestic wine reduction of 38 tons of carbon per year appeared to be possible. Through active promotion and expansion of variety of domestic foods and beverages in the real life of the nationals the consumption pattern of natural low carbon life should be achieved and offering of more systematized greenhouse gas emission DB is thought to be necessary.

We develop an energy-economy Bayesian DSGE model with the two sectors of electricity generations-traditional (fossil, nuclear) and renewable energy. Under imperfect substitutability between the two sectors, a technological shock on renewable energy sectors does not sufficient to facilitate energy conversion and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Technology innovation on greenhouse gas emission reduction is also required. More importantly, sufficient investment should be derived by a well-functioning electricity market where electricity price plays a signal role in efficient allocation of resources. Indeed, market rigidities cause reduced consumption.

오늘날 우리사회는 환경변화와 기후 위기 가속화로 인하여 삶의 질 악화는 물론 인류 생존까지도 걱정해야 시기에 이르렀는데, 이러한 변화의 주범인 온실가스의 75%가 도시에서 발생되고 있다(Global Sustainable Development Repor, 2019), 이에 국제 사회는 도시 중심의 녹색 전환 정책 추진 중인데, 우리나라는 2017년부터 '도시재생뉴딜사업'을 추진하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 지자체가 주도적으로 환경성과 창출 방안을 마련, 도시의 지속가능성 높이는데 일조하고자 탄소중립 선도 도시 사례와 도시재생의 문제점을 살펴봄으로써 도심 내 과밀화 문제와 탄소배출 해결 방안을 제시하였다. 당초 '도시재생뉴딜' 사업은 도시의 다양한 니즈를 충족시키기 위하여 시작되었으나, 최근에는 도시 노후화와 탄소배출 문제에 대응하기 위하여 '그린도시', '친환경 도시'를 지향하고 있다. 그러나 이를 뒷받침할 법·제도의 제·개정 및 이를 바라보는 이해관계자의 시각 전환이 이루어지지 않아 크고 작은 많은 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 도시재생의 첫 번째 문제점은 정책지원의 30% 이상이 일반근린형에 집중됨에 따라 주거형 도시재생 양상을 띄고 있다는 점이다. 이는 임기가 제한된 지자체장이 가시적인 성과를 위하여 도시 내 인프라 확충에 집중한 결과로 지속가능한 도시재생을 저하시키는 요인이 되고 있다. 두 번째, 도시재생 뉴딜사업이 계획수립과정에서 지속가능성에 대한 검토와 환경성 평가에 대한 고려 부족으로 기후 위기 대응에 미흡한 실정이다. 노후 도시의 주거 과밀화 문제를 해결하고 효과적인 도시 탄소 감축을 위하여 건물 - 마을 - 도시 등 여러 공간 단위의 온실가스 배출량 감축 전략 수립이 필요하다. 세 번째, 치·이수 위주의 도시재생 뉴딜사업으로 탄소 중립 대책이 미흡하다. 대응 방안으로는 자원의 관점에서 물 소비 감소 촉진 및 재생에너지 증가 전략이 필요하다.

A green market for a product refers to the market where the more willingness to pay for the product consumers have, the greener is the product. As the green markets begin to spread out, researches have been carried out mostly on the effects of various environmental policy measures such as unit emission standard, environmental taxes as they are applied in the green markets. This paper focus on a different issue in the green markets, that is, the effects of the greener market on pollution emission. We consider two kinds of markets, which are fully or partially covered. In the fully covered market where the products sold are necessities such that all consumers purchase the product, as the market gets greener, the amount of pollution emission decreases. On the other hand, in the partiaily covered market, it is shown that the amount of pollution emission could increase as the market becomes greener. This critically depends on whether the total output decreases or increases as the market turns greener.
