The impact of policy diffusion on optimal emission taxes

Michaelis, Peter; Ziesemer, Thomas - 2012

We incorporate the process of policy diffusion (i.e. the uncoordinated dissemination of policies among countries) into a probabilistic two-country-model of strategic environmental policy. Contrary to the usual setting with simultaneous decision making we consider the impact of sequential...

The case for international emission trade in the absence of cooperative climate policy

Carbone, Jared C.; Helm, Carsten; Rutherford, Thomas F. - 2008

We evaluate the efficacy of international trade in carbon emission permits when countries are guided strictly by their national self-interest. To do so, we construct a calibrated general equilibrium model that jointly describes the world economy and the strategic incentives that guide the design...

New trade models, same old emissions?

Sogalla, Robin; Wanner, Joschka; Watabe, Yuta - 2024

This paper investigates the role of firm heterogeneity in environmentally extended new trade models, contrasting Eaton-Kortum and Melitz models to Armington and Krugman models. We show that when emissions per sales are constant across firms -- a standard assumption in the literature -- all four...

New trade models, same old emissions?

Sogalla, Robin; Wanner, Joschka; Watabe, Yuta - 2024

This paper investigates the elusive role of productivity heterogeneity in new trade models in the trade and environment nexus. We contrast the Eaton-Kortum and the Melitz models with firm heterogeneity to the Armington and Krugman models without heterogeneity. We show that if firms have a...

Chapter 27 International Trade, Foreign Investment, and the Environment

Rauscher, Michael - In: Handbook of environmental economics : volume 3, …, (pp. 1403-1456). 2005

The 1990s produced a large literature on foreign trade and the environment, including both theoretical and empirical contributions. The paper surveys this literature. It starts by looking at the traditional Heckscher–Ohlin type models of international trade and then moves to noncompetitive...

A Stackelberg Game Model of Trade in Renewable Resources with Competitive Sellers

Batabyal, Amitrajeet A.; Beladi, Hamid - 2002

We model international trade in renewable resources between a single buyer and competitive sellers as a Stackelberg differential game. The buyer uses unit and ad valorem tariffs to indirectly encourage conservation of the renewable resource under study. First, we show that the efficacy of these...

Unilateral carbon pricing and heterogeneous firms

Sogalla, Robin - 2023

Several empirical studies document the relevance of firm heterogeneity to assess the effect of trade and environmental policy. This paper develops a multi-country and -sector general equilibrium trade model with heterogeneous firms and analyzes the effect of domestic carbon pricing as well as...

Climate Policy and Trade in Polluting Technologies

Ferguson, Shon M.; Heijmans, Roweno - 2023

This study estimates the impact of carbon pricing on international trade in equipment used in the combustion of fossil fuels during the period 1995--2021. Using detailed data on bilateral trade combined with data on domestic carbon prices, we find that carbon pricing policies are associated with...
