Voluntary Emission Restraints in Developing Economies : The Role of Trade Policy

Caliendo, Lorenzo; Dolabella, Marcelo; Moreira, … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

We study the role of trade policy in one of the most pressing climate policy challenges that developing countries face: meeting voluntary emission restraints (VERs). To do so, we develop a general equilibrium trade model that extends Caliendo and Parro (2015) in three dimensions. First, we model...

The Macroeconomic Impact of Climate Change : Global vs. Local Temperature

Bilal, Adrien; Känzig, Diego R. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

This paper estimates that the macroeconomic damages from climate change are six times larger than previously thought. We exploit natural variability in global temperature and rely on time-series variation. A 1°C increase in global temperature leads to a 12% decline in world GDP. Global...

On the Geographic Implications of Carbon Taxes

Conte, Bruno; Desmet, Klaus; Rossi-Hansberg, Esteban - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

A unilateral carbon tax trades off the distortionary costs of taxation and the future gains from slowing down global warming. Because the cost is local and immediate, whereas the benefit is global and delayed, this tradeoff tends to be unfavorable to unilateral carbon taxes. We show that this...

Think Globally, Act Globally : Opportunities to Mitigate Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Low- and Middle-Income Countries

Glennerster, Rachel; Jayachandran, Seema - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

Reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are a global public good, which makes it efficient to act globally when addressing this challenge. We lay out several reasons that high-income countries seeking to mitigate climate change might have greater impact if they invest their resources in...

The IPCC Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) : Explained, Evaluated, Replaced

Welch, Ivo - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

Shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs) are perhaps the most influential economic policy analyses today. My paper evaluates their development, natural associations, logical consequences, and economic identification. All five SSP baseline scenarios are predicting scenarios that historical...

Contingent Trade Agreements

Harstad, Bård - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

There are often conflicts between proponents of trade and environmental activists. This paper shows, however, how trade agreements can be designed so as to motivate environmental conservation. I first analyze a standard trade model, where resource exploitation (e.g., deforestation) is a...

Uncharted Waters : Effects of Maritime Emission Regulation

Hansen-Lewis, Jamie; Marcus, Michelle M. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

Maritime shipping emits as much fine particulate matter as half of global road traffic. We are the first to measure the consequences of US maritime emissions standards on air quality, human health, racial exposure disparities, and behavior. The introduction of US maritime emissions control areas...

Population, Productivity, and Sustainable Consumption

Pindyck, Robert S. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

How does the sustainable level of consumption depend on productivity growth and the size and growth rate of the population? What is the effect of uncertainty over these growth rates? I address these questions using a model in which productivity and population growth are stochastic, and social...
