Per-Capital Income as a Determinant of International Trade and Environment Policies

Markusen, James R. - CESifo - 2014

International trade policy analysis has tended to focus on the production side of general equilibrium, with policies such as a tariff or carbon tax affecting international and internal income distributions through a Heckscher-Ohlin nexus of factor intensities and factor endowments. Here I move...

Trade Restrictiveness Indices in Presence of Externalities: An Application to Non-Tariff Measures

Beghin, John; Disdier, Anne-Célia; Marette, Stéphan - CESifo - 2014

We extend the trade restrictiveness index approach to the case of market imperfections and domestic regulations addressing them. We focus on standard-like non-tariff measures (NTMs) affecting cost of production and potentially enhancing demand by reducing negative externalities. We apply the...

Why are Firms that Export Cleaner? International Trade and CO2 Emissions

Forslid, Rikard; Okubo, Toshihiro; Ulltveit-Moe, Karen … - CESifo - 2014

This paper develops a model of trade and CO2 emissions with heterogenous firms, where firms make abatement investments and thereby have an impact on their level of emissions. The model shows that investments in abatements are positively related to firm productivity and firm exports. Emission...

Carbon Tariffs: An Analysis of the Trade, Welfare and Emission Effects

Larch, Mario; Wanner, Joschka - CESifo - 2014

Carbon tariffs are one prominently discussed climate policy. The proponents stress the carbon tariffs’ ability to restore competitiveness, avoid carbon leakage, and reduce world carbon emissions. We analyze the effects of carbon tariffs on trade, welfare, and carbon emissions in a structural...

Kyoto and Carbon Leakage: An Empirical Analysis of the Carbon Content of Bilateral Trade

Aichele, Rahel; Felbermayr, Gabriel J. - CESifo - 2011

Has the Kyoto Protocol induced carbon leakage? We conduct the first empirical ex-post evaluation of the Protocol. We derive a theoretical gravity equation for the CO2 content of trade, which accounts for intermediate inputs, both domestic and imported. The structure of our new panel database of...

Trade with Endogenous Transportation Costs: The Value of LNG Exports

Oglend, Atle; Osmundsen, Petter; Kleppe, Tore Selland - CESifo - 2015

This paper investigates the economic value of trade when prices of transportation services are endogenous to cross-market price spreads. This is relevant for liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports. LNG transportation capacity is limited in the short-run, and long lead-times are involved in...

Modeling UK Natural Gas Prices when Gas Prices Periodically Decouple from the Oil Price

Asche, Frank; Oglend, Atle; Osmundsen, Petter - CESifo - 2015

When natural gas prices are subject to periodic decoupling from oil prices, for instance due to peak-load pricing, conventional linear models of price dynamics such as the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) can lead to erroneous inferences about cointegration relationships, price adjustments...
