Join this seminar to explore how tariffs and non-tariff measures influence firms’ green technology imports and impact climate goals.

This seminar investigates the role of trade policy in firms’ adoption of green technologies by analysing firm-level import transaction data from 35 emerging markets. It explores how tariffs and non-tariff measures (NTMs) impact imports of key products in solar photovoltaic, wind power, and electric vehicle value chains. The findings reveal that tariffs significantly reduce firms’ green technology imports, particularly affecting downstream segments and smaller firms, while NTMs have more varied effects. The study provides key policy insights, advocating for open trade policies in emerging markets to facilitate green technology diffusion and support climate goals.

This event is co-organised with the European University Institute (EUI) and the Research Centre International Economics (FIW). The seminar provides a forum for presentation and discussion of recent academic research in the field of international economics.

The event will be recorded.
