| Abstract | In light of the recent argument that rapid economic growth in Russia over the next decade might result in emissions higher than the Kyoto target, thereby putting muchneeded growth at risk, this paper revisits the discussion on the costs and benefits of ratification of the Kyoto Protocol by Russia. The paper concludes that even under a very high economic growth assumption, and even under very conservative assumptions about the decoupling between CO2 emissions and economic growth, Russia still benefits from a net surplus of emissions allowances, and thus will not see its growth adversely affected by the Kyoto target. In addition, a review of the possible costs and benefits of the Kyoto Protocol suggests that the potential sale of excess allowances far outweighs the other costs. |
