Biofuels and Climate Change Mitigation : A CGE Analysis Incorporating Land-Use Change

Biofuels and Climate Change Mitigation : A CGE Analysis Incorporating Land-Use Change

The question of whether biofuels help mitigate climate change has attracted much debate in the literature. Using a global computable general equilibrium model that explicitly represents land-use change impacts due to the expansion of biofuels, this...
