Résumé

This report analyses how economic models of climate change mitigation depict firms' and individuals' adjustments to changing energy prices. An economic model is used that, compared to other models, depicts a relatively complete set of substitution possibilities for consumers and producers. The most striking conclusion of the report is that the failure to depict the full range of historically-observed substitution possibilities, as many economic models do, can lead to as much as a doubling of the estimated costs of a climate change policy, an overestimate that is wholly attributable to this one pivotal assumption. A complete copy of the report is available on Pew Center's Web site.
