Specifically, the general equilibrium effects of the introduction of a tariff on carbon-intensive products on European Union (EU) and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) members and non-members are assessed. For the EU, we find an increase in the terms of trade and consequently small positive welfare effects, whereas there are tiny negative effects on real wages. Non-EU countries face a decline in the terms of trade and a small welfare loss as well as marginally declining real wages. Global CO2 emissions are marginally reduced, although they minimally increase in the EU due to specialisation effects UR - https://wiiw.ac.at/p-7075.html ER -
