Description (excerpt):

In this paper, we document an integrated CGE framework to assess the global trade and environmental impacts of biofuel policies, focusing on the indirect land use effects related to biofuel policies. We rely on a modified version of the trade policy CGE model MIRAGE, or modeling international relationships in applied general equilibrium (Decreux and Valin 2007), and on an expanded global trade analysis project (GTAP) 7 database (Narayanan and Walmsley 2008).
