摘要：

We analyze theoretically and quantitatively the interactions between international trade and the environment in the context of Global Value Chains (GVCs), by incorporating pollution abatement and emissions into a multi-country-multi-sector structural gravity trade model with multi-stage sequential production. Based on this framework, we extend the classic pollution decomposition equation to include a novel stage effect, which reflects the impacts of an economy’s relative position in the global production chain on the environment. We find that including GVCs in the model completely reshapes how trade affects the environment. Particularly, including GVCs strengthens the power of environmental regulations as a source of comparative advantage at the sectoral level, and allows a new margin of international specialization, i.e., stage. However, environmental regulations are still a weak trade determinant compared with other forces such as productivity and trade costs. We simulate different levels of US-China trade decoupling in terms of production stages that are affected, and find that both countries lose in terms of production and trade, but tend to emit less.
