The study of economic impacts of climate change mitigation policies requires the use of different methodologies. This article discusses the most used models in literature as well as its applications. We presents dynamic Applied General Equilibrium model (AGE) that implement a market for emissions permits. Emission markets are reality in European Union since the introduction in 2005 of the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). Through this model it is possible to estimate the minimum cost of controlling greenhouse emissions. The model is used to analyse emission reductions for the case of Spain.
