wAbstract
@(1) We estimate CO2 implicitly exported via commodities relative
to a region's total emissions: We find - 15% for the industrialized,
12% for the developing region, and 24% for China. (2) We analyze
a Contraction and Convergence climate regime in a CGE model including
international capital mobility and technology diffusion: When
China does not participate in the regime and instead a carbon
tariff is imposed on its exports, it will likely be worse off
than when participating. This result does not hold for the developing
region in general. Meanwhile, the effect on emissions appears
small.
