Abstract

This paper surveys integrated assessment models applied to Brazil. We show that these models belong to the environmental economics literature that fails to consider some of the most important aspects of the modern macroeconomic dynamics in Brazil. These features include monetary and financial balances, income distribution, and physical limits to growth. We argue that the most suitable framework for modeling a low-carbon Brazilian economy would incorporate both Post-Keynesian and ecological economics principles. This new modeling method would strengthen our understanding of environmental mitigation action consequences and would allow us to explore new climate-policy packages.

综合评估环境模型的宏观经济批判:巴西的案例

本文调查了适用于巴西的综合评估模型。我们表明，这些模型属于环境经济学文献，没有考虑巴西现代宏观经济动态的一些最重要方面。这些特征包括货币和金融平衡、收入分配以及增长的物理限制。我们认为，建立低碳巴西经济模型的最合适框架将包括后凯恩斯主义和生态经济学原则。这种新的建模方法将加强我们对环境缓解行动后果的理解，并使我们能够探索新的气候政策包。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
