On the Geographic Implications of Carbon Taxes
使用多部门动态空间综合评估模型，研究发现欧盟征收的碳税若规模适中，可通过将经济活动集中到高生产率非农业核心区并激励移民，反而扩大欧洲经济规模，改善全球效率与福利。
Abstract Using a multi-sector dynamic spatial integrated assessment model, we argue that a carbon tax introduced by the European Union and rebated locally can, if not too large, increase the size of Europe’s economy by concentrating economic activity in its high-productivity non-agricultural core and by incentivising immigration to the European Union. The resulting change in the spatial distribution of economic activity improves global efficiency and welfare. A carbon tax introduced by the United States generates similar effects. This stands in sharp contrast with standard models that ignore trade and migration in a world shaped by economic geography forces.
