• The Impacts of Environmental Regulations on Competitiveness (2017, background): “The carbon leakage literature can be distinguished from the literature on trade-embodied carbon (e.g., Peters et al. 2011), which includes all embodied emissions in trade regardless of whether they are induced by asymmetric policies or other underlying economic factors that influence trade patterns.”
• Assessment of China's virtual air pollution transport embodied in trade by using a consumption-based emission inventory (2014, background): “In the past several years, environmental extended MRIO models have been developed to quantify global CO2 emissions embodied in international trade, initially for a specific year (Davis and Caldeira, 2010; Feng et al., 2012) and later for multiple years (Peters et al., 2011).”
• Global unsustainable virtual water flows in agricultural trade (2019, background): “Research on the environmental impacts of trade and trade policies (Peters et al 2011, Zhang et al 2017) suggests that production is expected to shift to regions of the world with weaker environmental regulations (Dean et al 2009).”
• Carbon emissions of cities from a consumption-based perspective (2019, background): “At the global level, research has studied emission characteristics triggered by multinational trades [28, 29].”
• Unwelcome exchange: International trade as a direct and indirect driver of biological invasions worldwide (2021, background): “increased from 20% of global emissions in 1990 to 26% in 2008.(86) In addition, emissions from trade-related movement of commodities account for 40% of all greenhouse gases emitted from all forms of transport worldwide.”
• Economic Growth and Climate Change: A Cross-National Analysis of Territorial and Consumption-Based Carbon Emissions in High-Income Countries (2014, background): “[23], who calculated them by adjusting the territorial emissions data to account for emissions transfers via international trade.”
• Carbon and Materials Embodied in the International Trade of Emerging Economies (2012, background): “Most of these studies focus on embodied CO2 emissions (e.g., Atkinson et al. 2011; Bruckner et al. 2010; Davis and Caldeira 2010; Hertwich and Peters 2009; Nakano et al. 2009; Peters et al. 2011; Wiedmann et al. 2010).”
