This paper analyzes the impact of the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) on India's export competitiveness using a PPML gravity model, within the context of the India-EU economic partnership. It offers policy implications for tr…

Liming Hong, Sajid Anwar, Lili Yu

This paper develops a theoretical North–South trade model to examine trade-offs between environmental regulation, competitiveness, and consumer welfare under trade frictions. It finds that the optimal environmental tax is lower than the Pig…

Qixin Liu, Timur Sayfutdinov, Arman Alahyari +1

This paper proposes a carbon emissions accounting method for jointly optimizing energy and carbon trading in virtual power plant (VPP) operations. It leverages VPP flexibility to balance emission reductions with economic efficiency, offerin…
