Did Germany reach its 2020 climate targets thanks to COVID-19?
Shammugam, Shivenes; Schleich, Joachim; Schlomann, Barbara - 2021
In this paper, we estimate the effects of COVID-19 on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in Germany in 2020 at the sectoral and national level. Counterfactual emissions are estimated based on autoregressive econometric models and distinguish between different factors of emissions based on...

Kyoto and the carbon content of trade
Aichele, Rahel; Felbermayr, Gabriel - 2010
A unilateral tax on CO2 emissions may drive up indirect carbon imports from non-committed countries, leading to carbon leakage. Using a gravity model of carbon trade, we analyze the effect of the Kyoto Protocol on the carbon content of bilateral trade. We construct a novel data set of CO2...
