Abstract

Este artículo analiza las implicaciones económicas de un Sistema de Comercio de Emisiones (SCE) en Colombia para el cumplimiento de los acuerdos de reducción de emisiones. Para ello se disenó un módulo de comercio de emisiones en el modelo de equilibrio general MEG4C. A partir de este análisis se logró identificar que un SCE puede tener dos efectos: i) los sectores regulados incorporan el costo marginal de las emisiones en la producción, lo que trae una reducción en la producción y ii) los sectores sustituyen los bienes intensivos en emisiones, buscando minimizar los costos asociados al valor de permiso de emisión, lo que conduce a una disminución de las emisiones por cambio en la intensidad. Finalmente, se observa que cuando el recaudo, logrado por la venta de los permisos, se usa para fomentar la demanda de capital (incentivar la inversión), los resultados son positivos ya que estos recursos contribuyen a la transformación económica, al desarrollo sostenible y a la generación de otros co-beneficios.
