This paper investigates the effectiveness of different carbon reduction policies in China using a multi-technology sectoral dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model. The study compares a carbon emission cap policy with fossil fuel and renewable energy technology subsidy policies. Findings suggest that subsidy policies are more effective for long-term emission reduction, with fossil fuel subsidies proving more cost-efficient. The paper also analyzes the impact of various economic shocks on macroeconomic growth and pollutant emissions under each policy scenario.
