First, we analyse the relative importance of the determinants of maritime transport costs for trade and economic development, and secondly assess the transmission channels and economic effects of a carbon price on maritime transport costs. We argue that the introduction of a carbon price has a limited impact on total maritime transport costs for the average country. However, Small Island Developing States and Least Developed Countries are more likely to be negatively impacted by such a measure in terms of maritime transport costs as we provide novel evidence that the relationship between per unit transport costs and trade flows is negative and elastic at least for the case of Pacific Small Island Developing States. date: 2021-10 date_type: published official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpol.2021.104653 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1879242 doi: 10.1016/j.marpol.2021.104653 lyricists_name: Rehmatulla, Nishatabbas lyricists_name: Smith, Tristan lyricists_id: NREHM95 lyricists_id: TWPSM74 actors_name: Kalinowski, Damian actors_id: DKALI47 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Marine Policy volume: 132 article_number: 104653 citation: Rojon, I; Lazarou, NJ; Rehmatulla, N; Smith, T; (2021) The impacts of carbon pricing on maritime transport costs and their implications for developing economies.
