9321367 Nordhaus A better understanding of the impacts of global environmental changes and of the strategies to control them has emerged as a central concern of domestic and international economic policy over recent years. This research will continue work that will contribute to a better understanding of the underlying economic impacts and policies concerning global environmental problems. The investigators have already developed an aggregate, dynamic integrated climate and economic model to determine the efficient strategies for controlling green house gases. A major objective of this project is to disaggregate the model and extent it to encompass a multi-regional framework. This will enable the authors to investigate efficient green-house-gases control strategies at the regional level and to analyze economic losses arising from noncooperative behavior among regions. The second objective is to develop a better methodology for estimating the impact of global warming on U.S. agriculture using the results of general circulation climate models. ***

近年来，更好地理解全球环境变化的影响和控制它们的战略已成为国内和国际经济政策的中心问题。这项研究将继续进行，有助于更好地了解有关全球环境问题的潜在经济影响和政策。研究人员已经开发了一个综合的、动态的综合气候和经济模型，以确定控制温室气体的有效策略。该项目的一个主要目标是分解模型并扩大其范围，使其包括一个多区域框架。这将使作者能够在区域层面上研究有效的温室气体控制策略，并分析区域间不合作行为造成的经济损失。第二个目标是开发一种更好的方法，利用环流气候模型的结果来估计全球变暖对美国农业的影响。＊＊＊
