Trade, Leakage, and the Design of a Carbon Tax

Weisbach, David A.; Kortum, Samuel S.; Wang, Michael; … - 2022

Climate policies vary widely across countries, with some countries imposing stringent emissions policies and others doing very little. When climate policies vary across countries, energy-intensive industries have an incentive to relocate to places with few or no emissions restrictions, an effect...

Population under a cap on Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Bohn, Henning; Stuart, Charles - 2010

A cap on greenhouse gas emissions makes total emissions a fixed common-property resource. Population increases under a cap are therefore self-limiting: a population increase raises labor and reduces emissions per unit of labor, which lowers incomes and fertility. Because a marginal birth under a...

Trade of woody biomass for electricity generation under climate mitigation policy

Favero, Alice; Massetti, Emanuele - 2013

Bio-energy has the potential to be a key mitigation option if combined with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS) because it generates electricity and absorbs emissions at the same time. However, biomass is not distributed evenly across the globe, and regions with a potentially high demand...

Technology, International Trade, and Pollution from U.S. Manufacturing

Levinson, Arik - 2014

Total pollution emitted by U.S. manufacturers declined over the past 30 years, even though manufacturing output … of pollution-intensive goods ("international trade"). In this paper, I first show that most of the decline in pollution … pollution-intensive goods are too small to explain more than about half of the pollution reductions from the changing mix of …

Exports and externalities : the other side of trade and ecological risk

Warziniack, Travis; Finno, David; Shogren, Jason F.; … - 2009

This paper develops a general equilibrium model to measure welfare effects of taxes for correcting environmental externalities caused by domestic trade, focusing on exter- nalities that arise through exports. Externalities from exports come from a number of sources. Domestically owned ships,...

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...
