We analyze the effects of carbon tariffs on … trade, welfare, and carbon emissions in a structural gravity model. We find that the introduction of carbon tariffs reduces …

Recent quantitative trade models treat import tariffs as pure cost shifters so that their effects are similar to … iceberg trade costs. We introduce revenue-generating import tariffs, which act as demand shifters, into the framework of … quantification based on countries' observed degrees of openness, tariff revenues, and on the gravity elasticities of tariffs and …
