Abstract

Carbon prices are an integral tool to tackle climate change, yet they could lead to competitive disadvantages for firms that have to pay them. This paper finds that German foreign direct investment decreases in response to higher carbon prices in the destination country, particularly in industries that are both emission-intensive and exposed to international trade.
