Impacts of regulating greenhouse gas emissions on livestock trade flows
研究温室气体排放监管如何影响牲畜贸易流动，发现监管会减少从限制排放国向非限制国、限制国之间以及非限制国向限制国的贸易流量。
Policies regulating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are expected to create a significant burden on emitting industries as well as final consumers, which can lead to a strong influence on international trade flows of commodities. This study examines whether the regulation of GHG emissions affects livestock trade flows. A commodity-specific gravity model approach is employed to estimate and test the impact of regulating GHG emissions on livestock trade flows. The results show that regulation of GHG emissions has a negative effect on livestock trade flows from countries restricting GHG emissions to countries without GHG restriction, from restricting countries to restricting countries, and unrestricting countries to restricting countries.
