DESCRIPTION:The Competence Centre for International Economics Research (FIW) kindly 
 invites to participate in the Seminar in International Economics on the top
 ic Is Germany becoming the European pollution haven? Presenter: Kathrine vo
 n Graevenitz (ZEW - Leibniz Centre for European Economic Research in Mannhe
 im) Discussant: Armando Rungi (IMT School for Advanced Studies in Lucca) Ab
 stract: Relative prices determine the competitiveness of different location
 s. In this paper\, the focus is on the role of regulatory differences betwe
 en Germany and other EU countries which affect the shadow price of carbon e
 missions. The authors calibrate a Melitz-type model\, extended by firms’ 
 emissions and abatement decisions using data on aggregate output\, trade\, 
 and emissions. The parameter estimates are derived from the German Manufact
 uring Census. The quantitative model allows the recovery of a measure of ho
 w regulatory stringency evolved in the EU and Germany in terms of an implic
 it carbon price paid on emissions. This price reflects energy and carbon pr
 ices in addition to command-and-control measures and decreased from 2005 to
  2019 in most sectors – both in Germany and other EU countries. The trend
  is more pronounced in Germany than in the rest of the EU. In counterfactua
 l analyses\, it is shown that this intra-EU difference has substantially in
 creased German industrial emissions. Had the EU experienced the same decrea
 se in implicit carbon prices as Germany\, German emissions would have been 
 substantially lower. Germany has increasingly become a pollution haven. The
  presentation if available\, will be posted after the event. The seminar se
 ries is organised by the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studie
 s (wiiw) in co-operation with FIW and the European University Institute. Th
 e seminar provides a forum for presentation and discussion of recent academ
 ic research in the field of international economics.
