Carbon Tax, Pollution and Spatial Location of Heterogeneous Firms

Exbrayat, Nelly - 2016

This paper investigates the ability of a fully harmonized carbon tax to curb carbon emissions in a globalized economy characterized by an uneven spatial distribution of heterogeneous firms. The level of the carbon tax matters for the direction of the relocation and its impact on global...

Multiple pollutants, uncovered sectors, and suboptimal environmental policies

Fullerton, Don; Karney, Dan - 2014

In our analytical general equilibrium model where two polluting inputs can be substitutes or complements in production, we study the effects of a tax on one pollutant in two cases: one where both pollutants face taxes and the second where the other pollutant is subject to a permit policy. In...

Complementary taxation of carbon emissions and local air pollution

Mier, Mathias; Adelowo, Jacqueline; Weissbart, Christoph - 2022

complementary taxation of carbon emissions and local air pollution. We quantify results for the European power market until 2050 …. Taxing only air pollution results in social cost of 5,890 billion € and fosters nuclear deployment. Taxing only carbon yields … taxation can be complementary to a primary policy of air pollution abatement. On the contrary, a primary policy of …

Investigating the carbon leakage effect on the environmental Kuznets curve using luminosity data

Steinkraus, Arne - 2016

This paper studies the effect of carbon leakage on the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) using satellite nighttime light data. I show that nighttime lighting is an important variable for estimating carbon dioxide emissions that is superior to other existing indicators and covers all countries in...

Carbon Emissions and Economic Growth : Production-Based versus Consumption-Based Evidence on Decoupling

Mir, Goher-Ur-Rehman; Storm, Servaas - 2016

We assess the Carbon-Kuznets-Curve hypothesis using internationally consistent and comparable production-based versus consumption-based CO2 emissions data for 40 countries (and 35 industries) during 1995-2007 from the World Input Output Database (WIOD). The estimates for per capita CO2 emissions...

A dynamic approach to the environmental effects of trade liberalization

Fadaee, Mehdi - 2011

In this paper, we develop a two-country world differential game model with a polluting firm in each country where there is transportation cost to investigate the equilibrium of the game between firms when they decide to trade or not and to see under which conditions social welfare coincides with...

Energy tax exemptions and industrial production

Gerster, Andreas; Lamp, Stefan - 2023

Environmental policies are often accompanied by exemptions for energy-intensive and trade-exposed industrial ﬁrms to avoid leakage from regulated to unregulated jurisdictions. This paper investigates the impact of a large electricity tax exemption on production levels, employment, and input...

Embodied Carbon Tariffs

Böhringer, Christoph; Carbone, Jared C.; Rutherford, … - 2011

In a world where the prospects of a global agreement to control greenhouse gas emissions are bleak, the idea of using trade policy as an implicit regulation of foreign emission sources has gained many supporters in countries contemplating unilateral climate policies. Embodied carbon tariffs tax...

The Environmental Bias of Trade Policy

Shapiro, Joseph S. - 2020

This paper documents a new fact, then analyzes its causes and consequences: in most countries, import tariffs and non-tariff barriers are substantially lower on dirty than on clean industries, where an industry's “dirtiness” is defined as its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per dollar of...
