They conclude that even under a very high economic growth assumption, and even under very conservative assumptions about the decoupling between carbon dioxide emissions, and economic growth, Russia still benefits from a net surplus of emissions allowances, and thus will not see its growth adversely affected by the Kyoto target. In addition, a review of the possible costs, and benefits of the Kyoto Protocol suggests that the potential sale of excess allowances, far outweighs the other costs. 2013-06-26T13:39:42Z 2013-06-26T13:39:42Z 2004-11 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2004/11/5442638/kyoto-protocol-affect-growth-russia http://hdl.handle.net/10986/14188 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No.3454 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, D.C.
