Title: North-South negotiations on emission reductions: A bargaining approach Speaker:Jie Li,Jinan University Host: Zhang Lan, Associate professor, RIEM Time: 14:00-15:30, Dec. 16, Friday Venue: Yide building H503, Liulin Campus Abstract: This article models North–South negotiations on emission reductions, where the North provides side payments in exchange for the South’s adoption of a more stringent emission standard. We find that depending on where firms compete, strong asymmetry among regions (the two regions’ different valuations of side payments and climate change damage)also hold true when both parties bargain over the South’s emission tax.
