Abstract
The purpose of this study is to assess the possible benefits and costs of greenhouse
gases emission control, e.g., planting energy crops on set-asides fields, in Taiwan’s
agricultural sector using Taiwan Agricultural Sector Model (TASM). The TASM is
formulated in a multi-product partial equilibrium framework based on the previous
work of Baumes (1978), Burton (1987), McCarl and Spreen (1980), Chang et al.
(1992), Coble et al. (1992) and Tanyeri-Abur et al (1993). Agricultural sector
model has been applied to evaluate the impacts of domestic and trade policy change
as well as the technology adoption on the allocation of resource, agricultural
production and welfare distributions. The empirical structure has been adapted to
Taiwan and used in a number of policy-related studies, e.g., Chang and Chen (1995)
and Chang (1999). The current version of TASM accommodates more than 100
commodities for 4 major production regions that can be further divided into 15
sub-regions.
