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...

New Trade Models, Same Old Emissions?

Sogalla, Robin; Wanner, Joschka; Watabe, Yuta - 2024

This paper investigates the role of firm heterogeneity in environmentally extended new trade models, contrasting Eaton-Kortum and Melitz models to Armington and Krugman models. We show that when emissions per sales are constant across firms -- a standard assumption in the literature -- all four...

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...

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...

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

Beghin, John; Disdier, Anne-Célia; Marette, Stéphan - 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...
