Per-Capita Income as a Determinant of International Trade and Environmental Policies
Markusen, James R. - 2017
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...

Why are Firms that Export Cleaner? International Trade and CO2 Emissions
Forslid, Rikard - 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...

Kyoto and Carbon Leakage : An Empirical Analysis of the Carbon Content of Bilateral Trade
Aichele, Rahel; Felbermayr, Gabriel J. - 2021
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...

Emission Permits and Public Pollution Abatement : Can Decentralized Environmental Policies Be Efficient?
Tsakiris, Nikos - 2015
We build a two regions general equilibrium model with cross-border pollution and either international or only inter-regional capital mobility. To control pollution each region uses public pollution abatement and issues either intra-regionally or inter-regionally tradable emission permits. We...

Pollution, Shadow Economy and Corruption : Theory and Evidence
Biswas, Amit K. - 2013
We study how the shadow economy affects pollution and how this effect depends on corruption levels in public administration. Production in the shadow economy allows firms to avoid environmental regulation policies; a large informal sector may be accompanied by higher pollution levels. Our...
