Competitiveness and Leakage Concerns and Border Carbon Adjustments
Zhang, ZhongXiang - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012
This paper provides a review of the literature on competitiveness and leakage concerns associated with differentiated climate abatement commitments among countries. The literature reviewed is not exhausted, but it is sufficient to provide a balanced view of both academics and policy circles....

Green Investment Strategies and Export Performance: A Firm-level Investigation
Antonietti, Roberto; Marzucchi, Alberto - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
In this paper we empirically investigate the relationship between investments in environmentally-oriented equipment and firms’ export performance. Drawing on Porter hypothesis and firm heterogeneity theory, we adopt a structural model where first we estimate the impact of green investment...

The Critical Mass Approach to Achieve a Deal on Green Goods and Services: What is on the Table? How Much to Expect?
Melo, Jaime de; Vijil, Mariana - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014
At the Davos forum of January 2014, a group of 14 countries pledged to launch negotiations on liberalising trade in ‘green goods’ (also known as `environmental goods’(EGs)), focussing on the elimination of tariffs for an ‘APEC list’ of 54 products. The paper shows that the ‘Davos...

Global Climate Change, Technology Transfer and Trade with Complete Specialization
Rübbelke, Dirk T.G.; Mukherjee, Vivekananda - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2006
The paper develops a model in which a country with better technology for abatement of Green House Gas (GHG) emission (the North) commits to an international protocol to keep the global GHG emission within a specified limit while it helps the mitigation effort in the other country (the South)...

Impacts of Border Carbon Adjustments on China’s Sectoral Emissions: Simulations with a Dynamic Computable General Equilibrium Model
Bao, Qin; Tang, Ling; Zhang, ZhongXiang; Qiao, Han; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
Carbon-based border tax adjustments (BTAs) have recently been proposed by some OECD countries to level the carbon playing field and target major emerging economies. This paper applies a multi-sector dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to estimate the impacts of the BTAs...

Unravelling the Worldwide Pollution Haven Effect
Grether, Jean-Marie; Mathys, Nicole A.; Melo, Jaime de - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
This paper tackles the “pollution haven” argument by estimating the pollution content of imports (PCI). The PCI is then …) a factor endowment component and (iii) a “pollution haven” component reflecting the impact of differences in … ISIC 4-digit sectors. Decompositions based on cross-section econometric estimates suggest a significant pollution haven …

Trade of Woody Biomass for Electricity Generation under Climate Mitigation Policy
Favero, Alice; Massetti, Emanuele - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
Bio-energy has the potential to be a key mitigation option if combined with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS) because it generates electricity and absorbs emissions at the same time. However, biomass is not distributed evenly across the globe, and regions with a potentially high demand...
