摘要：
To what extent can trade policy curb global carbon emissions? To answer this question, we introduce transboundary carbon externality into a multi-country, multi-industry quantitative trade model. Our framework accommodates a rich set of policy considerations, including firm delocation in response to policy, multilateral carbon leakage, and returns to scale in production and abatement. We derive simple analytic formulas for optimal carbon, production, and trade taxes within this framework. With the aid of these formulas, we quantify the extent to which trade policy can reduce CO2 emissions under two widely-discussed scenarios. First, we show that carbon border taxes (when adopted non-cooperatively by all governments) can replicate only 3% of the CO2 reduction attainable under global climate cooperation. Second, we find that Nordhaus’s (2015) climate club proposal can induce global climate cooperation, reducing global CO2 emissions by 81%. This successful outcome hinges on both the US and EU committing to the climate club as core members, using their collective trade penalties to enforce global climate cooperation.

摘要：
Firms’ R&D activities increasingly rely on foreign inputs in the form of immigrant researchers and imported R&D services. This paper studies firms’ decision on using foreign inputs in R&D and its implication on firm performance and aggregate productivity. Using administrative data from Denmark, we document two facts: that the use of foreign inputs increases firms’ R&D efficiency and boosts firm performance, and that recruiting immigrants reduces the barriers that firms face in sourcing R&D services from abroad. We develop and estimate a firm dynamics model in which R&D can be done with a combination of domestic inputs, immigrant researchers, and imported R&D services. Two elements of the model—love for variety of ideas in R&D and an information channel of immigrants—rationalize the two facts and imply complementarity between different R&D inputs. Counterfactual experiments show that incorporating the use of foreign inputs in R&D is important for assessing the impacts of immigration, service offshoring, and R&D policies.

摘要：
Manufacturing growth can benefit the agricultural sector if the outflow of labor from agriculture improves land allocation efficiency and facilitates capital adoption. Using destination prefectures’ trade shocks in the manufacturing sector driven by China’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the origin village’s initial internal migration network, we construct the exposure to manufacturing trade shocks for a panel of 295 villages from 2001 to 2010. We find that villages with larger increases in trade exposure had larger increases in the share of non-agricultural laborers, more fluid local land markets, and faster modernization of production through the adoption of agricultural machinery. Village-level agricultural productivity improved through the allocation of land towards more productive farmers within a village. During the era we study, transaction costs declined in the agricultural land market. We use a quantitative model to show that the growth in non-agricultural productivity had a larger impact on urbanization and agricultural modernization than reductions in transaction costs.
