Is There a Green Dividend of National Redistribution?
Gürer, Eren; Weichenrieder, Alfons - 2022
CO2 emissions are disproportionately caused by more affluent consumers. In the political debate, this fact has triggered the demand for income redistribution and wealth taxes not only to reduce inequality but also to reduce CO2 emissions. This paper calculates the possible size of such a green...

Per-Capital Income as a Determinant of International Trade and Environment Policies
Markusen, James R. - 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...

Carbon Tariffs: An Analysis of the Trade, Welfare and Emission Effects
Larch, Mario; Wanner, Joschka - 2014
Carbon tariffs are one prominently discussed environmental policy. The proponents stress the carbon tariffs' ability to mitigate the potential negative effect of environmental-friendly production on competitiveness, to avoid carbon leakage and to reduce world carbon emissions. We analyze the...

Kyoto and carbon leakage: An empirical analysis of the carbon content of bilateral trade
Aichele, Rahel; Felbermayr, Gabriel J. - 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 and Trees: How Trade Agreements Can Motivate Conservation Instead of Depletion
Harstad, Bård - 2020
Free trade can often lead to resource depletion, such as deforestation in the tropics. This paper first presents a dynamic model whereby the South (S) depletes to export the extracted units (timber) or the produce (beef) from land available after depletion. Because of the damages, the North...

Advancing Global Carbon Abatement with a Two-Tier Climate Club
Iverson, Terrence - 2022
A two-tier climate club exploits the comparative advantage of large countries to mete out punishments through trade, while taking their capacity to resist punishment as a constraint. Countries outside the coalition price carbon at a fixed fraction of the average carbon price adopted within the...

The Carbon Footprint of Global Trade Imbalances
Mahlkow, Hendrik; Wanner, Joschka - 2023
International trade is highly imbalanced both in terms of values and in terms of embodied carbon emissions. We show that the persistent current value trade imbalance patterns contribute to a higher level of global emissions compared to a world of balanced international trade. Specifically, we...
