unilateral climate policies. Embodied carbon tariffs tax the direct and indirect carbon emissions embodied in imported goods. The …, carbon tariffs could substantially extend the reach of OECD climate policies. We investigate this claim by simulating the … effects of embodied carbon tariffs with a computable general equilibrium model of global trade and energy use. We find that …

We build a novel stochastic dynamic regional integrated assessment model (IAM) of the climate and economic system including a number of important climate science elements that are missing in most IAMs. These elements are spatial heat transport from the Equator to the Poles, sea level rise,...
