【摘要】The inability to achieve a globally-binding agreement on greenhouse house gasreduction reflects a wide disagreement on the uncertain consequences of environmentalregulations currently envisioned. This paper builds a two-sector trade model featuringheterogeneous firms, individual firm’s endogenous innovation, entry-exit, and exportdecisions, as well as environmental constraints. The analytical model is supplementedwith numerical simulations to shed light on the interactive roles played by trade policies,environmental regulations, and innovation uncertainty. Simulation results show thetrade policy of border adjustments based upon sector emission intensity and stringentenvironmental policies can result in resources reallocation favoring the clean sectorrather than the dirty sector. However, these effects on the dirty sector could be greatlyalleviated if this sector could enjoy some advantage in the innovation.
