We show that these emissions reductions are primarily driven by within-product changes in emissions intensity rather than changes in output or in the composition of products produced. We then develop and estimate a quantitative model linking trade wit...

This is because labour productivity is a complex and multifaceted issue. Given the recent industrial initiatives of Rethinking Construction and Respect for P...
