Kartal M.T.

This paper examines the relationship between physical climate risk and green bond issuance using disaggregated US data and novel quantile-based methods. It provides empirical evidence on whether climate risk drives green finance, contributi…

Hua J.

This paper empirically analyzes the impact and mechanism of carbon emission trading on the total factor productivity of agricultural enterprises. It evaluates the policy effect to determine whether emissions trading contributes to productiv…

Barreto L.

This paper analyzes the impact of emissions trading (ETS) on technology deployment using a bottom-up energy systems model that incorporates technology learning. It shows that ETS price signals can promote low-carbon technology adoption, and…

Kerr S.

This paper analyzes the design and implications of an upstream point of regulation for energy in China's national ETS. It argues that upstream regulation can expand coverage and simplify enforcement, but may distort price signals and raise …

Gachanja K.

This paper analyzes the impact of the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) on the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), examining opportunities and challenges for African countries. It discusses risks to African exports an…

Deane F.J.

This paper analyzes the intersection of emissions trading and the GATS financial services provisions, using Australia's carbon pricing mechanism as a case study. It explores how international trade law frameworks influence the design of emi…

Santabárbara D.

This paper analyzes the impact of carbon pricing on inflation volatility. Carbon pricing alters firms' cost structures and may affect macroeconomic stability through price pass-through. Policymakers should consider inflationary effects when…
