If you teach an undergrad international trade course and want some hands-on experience with real data & Stata or R, consider my “Gravity for Undergrads” Chapter. It may be useful in econometrics, undergrad seminars, and undergrad theses. Gravity Rules 💪

The US is playing countries off against each other. A coalition of the 🇪🇺,🇨🇦,🇲🇽,🇧🇷 & 🇰🇷 could put real pressure on Washington with a joint response. They would have strong leverage against tariffs. Read more in the new KPB 👉 ifw-kiel.de/publications...

Our paper is officially out 🎉

We argue that climate clubs show promise:

- A climate club with coordinated penalties could curb 68% of excess emissions from free-riding

-Unilateral carbon tariffs? Not nearly as effective

Econometrica @ecmaeditors.bsky.social · Jul 7

We study how trade policy can reduce global emissions. Unilateral carbon border taxes have limited efficacy at cutting foreign emissions. By contrast, coordinated trade penalties under a climate club prove highly effective. buff.ly/NEE3Uy8

Die geplante Finanzierung der #Gasspeicherumlage aus dem #KTF (TSP Background) entspricht einer Senkung des effektiven CO2-Preises auf Gas um 16 Euro. Größte Ironie: mit Einnahmen aus CO2-Preis bzw. dem Sondervermögen (das in den KTF fließen soll) wird nun fossile Energie subventioniert.
