Abstract

A ten-equation Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) model is designed to capture household optimization, firm production decisions, environmental dynamics, and banking sector vulnerabilities during Net Zero Emission transition periods. It is calibrated to Polish macroeconomic data from 2000 to 2019 to evaluate various policy scenarios, including gradual versus rapid carbon tax implementation and different emission reduction targets. Results highlight critical trade-offs among environmental goals, economic stability, and financial system resilience. The analysis shows that Poland can reach its net-zero emissions target while maintaining macroeconomic stability through coordinated policy measures, with productivity gains generating positive spillovers across the economy. This study addresses significant gaps in environmental macroeconomic modelling for Central and Eastern European contexts, providing new insights for Poland's EU-mandated decarbonization policy while preserving economic and financial stability.
