DESCRIPTION:New date: Join Clara Brandi as she explores how trade provisions can enhanc
 e the adaptability and impact of environmental agreements. The Competence C
 entre for International Economics Research (FIW) kindly invites to particip
 ate in the Seminar in International Economics on the topic Using trade prov
 isions to make environmental agreements more dynamic Description: The paper
  examines the impact of trade provisions on treaty dynamism. It distinguish
 es between static treaties\, which remain unchanged\, and dynamic treaties
 \, which evolve by generating new commitments through additional rules or t
 he inclusion of new parties. The research argues that incorporating trade p
 rovisions into multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs) enhances their 
 dynamism. These provisions can empower interest groups to advocate for new 
 international commitments and encourage businesses in non-party states to p
 ressure their governments to join the MEA. By analysing a dataset of 647 ME
 As\, the study finds that provisions restricting economic activities are as
 sociated with higher numbers of amendments and accessions. These findings p
 rovide crucial insights into addressing the ‘ambition/participation dilem
 ma’ of MEAs and designing more flexible treaties\, particularly at a time
  of growing interest in using trade measures to establish international cli
 mate clubs. Speaker: Clara Brandi is Head of Department at the German Insti
 ute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS) and Professor of International
  Economics / Development Economics at the University of Bonn. She studied e
 conomics and political science in Freiburg and Oxford and received her PhD 
 from the European University Institute. Discussant: Joschka Wanner is an a
 ssistant professor of quantitative international and environmental economic
 s at the University of Würzburg\, fellow at the Kiel Institute for the Wor
 ld Economy and CESifo affiliate. He is an economist working on internationa
 l and environmental economics\, as well as on econometrics. His work is rel
 ated to the so-called gravity model in international trade. He obtained his
  PhD in economics from the University of Bayreuth in November 2019. Venue:
