Abstract
MERGE is a model for estimating the regional and global effects of greenhouse gas reductions. It quantifies alternative ways of thinking about climate change. The model contains submodels governing:
-
▪
the domestic and international economy;
-
▪
energy-related emissions of greenhouse gases;
-
▪
non-energy emissions of GHGs;
-
▪
global climate change — market and non-market damages.
