How Large are the Impacts of Carbon Motivated Border Tax Adjustments

This paper discusses the size of impact of carbon motivated border tax adjustments on world trade. We report numerical simulation results which suggest that impacts on welfare, trade, and emissions will likely be small. This is because proposed measures use carbon emissions in the importing country

本文探讨了碳导向边境税调整（carbon motivated border tax adjustments）对全球贸易的影响幅度。本文报告的数值模拟结果显示，该类措施对社会福利、贸易及碳排放的影响大概率较为有限。究其原因，所提议的措施以进口国境内的碳排放量为计算依据。
