Abstract

Políticas internacionales de limitación de emisiones de gases efecto invernadero en el período 2008-2012 pueden tener importantes efectos en la economía chilena. Durante este período,los países menos desarrollados no están sujetos a ningún tipo de control sobre estas emisiones, pero pueden participar en forma voluntaria, ya sea a nivel de proyectos en el mecanismo de desarrollo limpio (MDL), o, eventualmente, a nivel de país adquiriendo compromisos voluntarios de limitación de emisiones (CV). En este trabajo discutimos los costos y beneficios de una participación voluntaria de Chile, para lo cual se estiman los beneficios económicos de ambos mecanismos de participación, MDL y CV, bajo distintos escenarios, y considerando sus implicancias de más largo plazo cuando el PIB per cápita del país se aproxime al de países más industrializados que hoy día deben controlar sus emisiones.
