      abstract = {Following the international debate on the implications of  international trade for global climate policy, this paper  analyses the role of international trade in the growth of  GHG emissions and introduces the important topic of the  economic benefits related to emission generation. We use a  multiregional input-output model and the World Input-Output  Database to decompose the change in the evolution of GHG  emissions in the period 1995-2008. We find that i) the  evolution of emissions is mainly driven by the growth in  the level of domestic final demand; ii) trade plays a  secondary but relevant role in the growht of GHG emissions;  iii) technological change contributes notably to offset the  other two factors. We have also assessed the employment and  greenhouse gas (GHG) generated worldwide by the production  of exports. We show that, international trade should not be  ignored when assessing the options for reducing global GHG  emissions, since 24% of global GHG emissions are linked to  trade. When doing that, it should bear in mind that 20% of  the employment around the world is generated by  international trade.},
