Trade and Climate Change : Global Value Chain and Policy Analysis
This thesis investigates the intricate relationship between international trade and climate change, employing new quantitative trade (NQT) models to analyze the impact of trade policies on global carbon emissions and economic structures. It explores counterfactual scenarios to assess the consequences of different trade patterns and climate policies, revealing how global trade imbalances contribute to carbon emissions and how trade liberalization can mitigate climate-induced welfare losses. The research integrates detailed data and theoretical models to provide policy recommendations aimed at harmonizing economic growth with environmental sustainability, emphasizing the critical need for coordinated climate and trade policies to address global challenges effectively.
