En 2000, les importations chinoises représentaient 3% de l’empreinte carbone 🇫🇷; en 2009, 8%. La consommation totale de la France ayant progressé pendant ce temps-là, les émissions importées de Chine ont triplé sur cette période, indiquent @christophe-gouel.bsky.social et @pierrecotterlaz.bsky.social

In 2000, Chinese imports accounted for 3% of France's #CarbonFootprint. 8 years later, for 8%. Since France's total consumption increased during that period, emissions imported from China actually tripled, pointed @christophe-gouel.bsky.social and @pierrecotterlaz.bsky.social.

Quel a été le rôle du commerce dans l'évolution de l'empreinte carbone française entre 2000 et 2014 ?

🧵 J'explore cette question dans un travail récent fait au @cepii-paris.bsky.social avec @pierrecotterlaz.bsky.social.

Before Trump’s trade wars, global trade policy was more predictable—even if not perfect.

One oddity? A hidden climate distortion: dirty industries faced lower tariffs than cleaner ones (Shapiro 2021: doi.org/10.1093/qje/...).

Was this environmental bias real? We took a closer look.🧵
The Environmental Bias of Trade Policy*
Abstract. This article describes a new fact, then analyzes its causes and consequences: in most countries, import tariffs and nontariff barriers are substa
