"Green Infrastructure, Energy Transition, and Carbon Pricing in Morocco: A GTAP-E Computable General Equilibrium Analysis" by Kharbouche, Ayoub and Radouane Raouf Abstract Energy transition and greenhouse gas reduction are critical challenges, particularly for emerging economies with high energy dependence. In Morocco, public investment in green infrastructure—such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, and low-carbon transport—plays a key role in supporting sustainable growth. This paper examines the macroeconomic and environmental impacts of such investments using a computable general equilibrium model (GTAP-E), which captures interactions between energy use, production, trade, and CO2 emissions. Green infrastructure is modeled as an improvement in energy efficiency, reducing energy input requirements and costs. Simulation results show that these investments lead to moderate gains in real GDP and welfare, while significantly reducing energy intensity and CO2 emissions. Structural changes occur as economic activity shifts toward less carbon-intensive sectors, with some contraction in energy-intensive industries. When combined with environmental policies, emission reductions are reinforced. Overall, the findings highlight green infrastructure as a key driver of sustainable growth and decarbonization in Morocco. |
