| Abstract: | The residential sector presents a great potential for greenhouse gases (GHG) mitigation. We perform an integrated assessment
of different mitigation policies for Switzerland focusing on the residential sector. We analyze the case of pure incentive
taxes and technical regulations. For our analysis, we have coupled a general equilibrium model with a Swiss residential energy
model. We find that a progressive GHG tax of more than 200 USD2000/tCO2 eq is necessary to reach a target of 50% reduction of GHG emissions in 2050. Finally, we also find that efficiency-based
technical regulations provide limited additional abatement incentives. |
