Abstract
The measures taken in order to fight against the climate change can create conflict when trying to achieve certain economic goals. That is why the design of economic and environmental policies can be understood as a multi-criteria decision problem. In this article we tackle the design of public policies combining multi-criteria techniques and the modeling of computable general equilibrium. More precisely, we define the �efficient policy� concept and we apply such definitions to the Spanish economy with the 2000 year data. The methodology proposed enables the construction of a set of efficient policies in terms of economic growth and polluting emissions. We also illustrate how to address problems with a larger set of policy objectives.
