Trade and the environment : new methods, measurements, and results

Cherniwchan, Jevan; Copeland, Brian Richard; Taylor, … - 2016

We review recent research linking international trade to the environment, with a focus on new results and methods. The review is given structure by a novel decomposition linking changes in emissions to changes in productive activity at the plant, firm, industry, and national levels. While some...

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...

World-trade growth accounting

Egger, Peter; Nigai, Sergey K. - 2016 - This draft: March 2016

We undertake a trade-growth accounting exercise by decomposing data on changes in bilateral international trade flows into their direct (endowment accumulation, productivity growth, changes in trade costs, changing preferences) and indirect components (general equilibrium effects). Furthermore,...

Oil trade and climate policy : presented at CESifo Area Conference on Energy and Climate Economics, October 2014

Curuk, Malik; Sen, Suphi - 2015

It has been argued that a depletable resource owner might optimally increase near-term supply in response to environmental policies promoting the development of alternative resources, which might render climate policy ineffective or even counterproductive. This paper empirically confirms this...

Subnational income growth and international border effects

Adam, Hanna L.; Larch, Mario; Stadelmann, David - 2021

This paper analyses the effect of international borders and of trade agreements at international borders on subnational (i.e. regional) growth. We construct an extensive panel dataset covering 1,350 regions in 86 countries worldwide between 1950 and 2017. Our results show that international...
