This paper studies how firms’ CO2 emission intensity (CEI) responds to trade shocks. I develop a unified framework that decomposes within-firm changes in CEI into three components: shifts in (i) the product portfolio, (ii) factor-neutral physical productivity (TFPQ), and (iii) CO2-abatement technology, defined as factor-augmenting productivity that reduces emissions relative to other inputs. The...

Using linked employer-employee data with newly linked German firm data and web-scraped patent documents, we leverage quasi-random assignment of patent applications to examiners. Patent allowance reduces market exit...
