Working Papers

• Carbon Leakage and the Global Supply Chain: The Trade Effects of Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism 2026
  Climate regulations can disadvantage domestic producers and shift emissions abroad through carbon leakage. This paper argues that the effectiveness of carbon border measures is constrained by two structural features of trade policy: border regulation operates on goods at specific points in global supply chains, and tariff categories reflect market definitions rather than production processes. Evaluates these constraints using monthly bilateral EU import data around the introduction of CBAM.
• The Political Benefits of the Monoculture: Estimating the Electoral Effect of the Market Facilitation Program 2026
  with Anton Strezhnev
  Does the distribution of government transfers affect elections? Analyzes the 2019 Market Facilitation Program, which allocated $14.5 billion to farmers via a formula that produced arbitrary variation in county-level compensation. Finds that counties receiving greater compensation had higher Republican presidential vote shares in 2020.
