Is there a green dividend of national redistribution?
Gürer, Eren; Weichenrieder, Alfons J. - 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...

Reform of the United Nations Security Council : equity and efficiency
Gould, Matthew; Rablen, Matthew D. - 2014
Twenty years of negotiations over reform of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) are yet to bear fruit. We use recent advances in the theory of a-priori voting power to present a formal quantitative appraisal of the "structural reforms" contained within eleven current reform proposals, and...

Why are firms that export cleaner? : international trade and CO2 emissions
Forslid, Rikard; Okubo, Toshihiro; Ulltveit-Moe, Karen … - 2014 - This version: May 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...

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...

Per-capita income as a determinant of international trade and environmental 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...

Trade restrictiveness indices in presence of externalities : an application to non-tariff measures
Beghin, John C.; 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...

Kyoto and carbon leakage : an empirical analysis of the carbon content of bilateral trade
Aichele, Rahel; Felbermayr, Gabriel - 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...
