Abstract

La première partie de ce rapport utilise les versions les plus récentes des modèles DICE, FUND et PAGE ainsi que cinq scénarios socioéconomiques nouvellement conçus pour estimer le coût social du carbone en 2020 à 107,79$CA2018, précédemment évalué à 48,50$CA2018 par le groupe de travail canadien interministériel sur le coût social des gaz à effet de serre. La deuxième partie de ce rapport présente une revue de littérature sur les élasticités-prix dans le domaine des transports, avec un intérêt particulier pour celles de l’essence et des transports publics. La revue de la littérature est suivie d’une section empirique dans laquelle un modèle inspirée des travaux présentés plus tôt estime l’élasticité-prix de l’essence au Québec entre -0,113 et -0,125.
