Impacts of Border Carbon Adjustments on China's Sectoral Emissions : Simulations with a Dynamic Computable General Equilibrium Model

Bao, Qin; Tang, Ling; Zhang, ZhongXiang; Qiao, Han; … - 2012

decrease in export price, decreasing sectoral demand. Furthermore, such shrinkage of demand may similarly reduce energy prices …, which leads to energy substitution effect and somewhat stimulates carbon emissions. Depending on the relative strength of … the output-demand effect and energy substitution effect, sectoral carbon emissions and energy demands will vary across …

Unravelling the Worldwide Pollution Haven Effect

Grether, Jean-Marie; Mathys, Nicole A.; De Melo, Jaime - 2011

This paper tackles the 'pollution haven' argument by estimating the pollution content of imports (PCI). The PCI is then decomposed into three components: a 'deep' component (i.e. traditional variables unrelated to the environmental debate); a factor endowment component and a 'pollution haven'...

Economic and Poverty Impacts of a Voluntary Carbon Reduction for a Small Liberalized Developing Economy : The Case of the Philippines

Corong, Erwin - 2013

This paper analyzes the economic and poverty effects of a voluntary carbon emission reduction for a small liberalized economy - the Philippines. The simulation results indicate that tariff reductions undertaken by the Philippine government between 1994 and 2005 reduced the cost of fossil fuels...

Climate Change Meets Trade in Promoting Green Growth : Potential Conflicts and Synergies

Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2014

To date, border adjustment measures in the form of emissions allowance requirements (EAR) under the U.S. proposed cap-and-trade regime are the most concrete unilateral trade measure put forward to level the carbon playing field. If improperly implemented, such measures could disturb the world...

Second Best Environmental Policies under Uncertainty

Antoniou, Fabio; Hatzipanayotou, Panos; Koundouri, Phoebe - 2010

We construct a strategic trade model of an international duopoly, whereby production by exporting firms generates a local pollutant. Governments use environmental policies, i.e., an emissions standard or a tax, to control pollution and for rent shifting purposes. Contrary to their firm, however,...

Tradable Permits vs. Ecological Dumping

Antoniou, Fabio; Hatzipanayotou, Panos; Koundouri, Phoebe - 2010

In this paper we examine an alternative policy scenario, where governments allow polluting firms to trade permits in a strategic environmental policy model. We demonstrate, among other things, that with no market power in the permits market, governments of the exporting firms do not have an...

Enforcement and Environmental Quality in a Decentralized Emission Trading System

Valentini, Edilio; D'Amato, Alessio - 2014

This paper addresses the issue of whether the powers of monitoring compliance and allocating tradeable emissions allowances within a federation of countries should be appointed to a unique federal regulator or decentralized to several local regulators. To this end, we develop a two stage game...

Technology Transfer in the Non-Traded Sector as a Means to Combat Global Warming

Mukherjee, Vivekananda; Rübbelke, Dirk T. G.; Sanyal, Tilak - 2013

The paper considers a situation where two countries - the North and the South - use a non-traded polluting input to produce the goods for final consumption. The North is more efficient in both, production and abatement processes. The study compares the effects of the transfer of abatement...
