Abstract

A computationally fuzzy multiobjective programming (MOP) approach with a Leontief interindustry model is used to investigate the trade-offs between per capita gross domestic product, national employment, and per capita CO 2 emissions in Taiwan. To achieve the objectives of our investigation, the relevant literature is first reviewed, followed by construction of a fuzzy MOP coupled with an input-output model to evaluate the economic impact of the reduction of CO 2 emissions on Taiwan’s economy as a whole. Empirical data have been collected, and various strategies for mitigating industrial CO 2 emissions are simulated. Based on these simulations, policy recommendations are also proposed.
