The Impacts of Environmental Regulations on Competitiveness (2017, background): “For example, a body of work evaluates the allowance allocation methods under emissions trading schemes (Fischer and Fox, 2007; Demailly and Quirion, 2008; Meunier and Ponssard, 2012); border carbon adjustments (Branger and Quirion, 2014; Boehringer et al., 2014); and consumption-based accounting (fo”
Carbon Leakage and Competitiveness of Cement and Steel Industries Under the EU ETS: Much Ado About Nothing (2016, background): “…the North American Free Trade Agreements in the 1990s (Jaffe et al., 1995), but as the decrease in trade tariffs has seemed to slow down, the pollution haven effect has become a more relevant concern (and carbon leakage due the EU ETS would be a “carbon haven effect” (Branger and Quirion, 2014a)).”
Searching for carbon leaks in multinational companies (2019, background): “Branger et al. (2016) focuses on the cement and steel sector while Sartor (2013) looks at the aluminum sector, and none of these papers find any evidence of carbon leakage due to the EU ETS carbon price. Finally, using data for French manufacturing firms, Colmer et al. (2016) find no impact of the E”
On the empirical content of carbon leakage criteria in the EU emissions trading scheme (2014, background): “Branger and Quirion (2014) review 25 studies from 2004 to 2012 and report that typical carbon leakage estimates range from 5% to 25%.”
Pulling up the carbon ladder? Decarbonization, dependence, and third-country risks from the European carbon border adjustment mechanism (2021, background): “coverage reduces leakage [29]; and a meta-analysis of different studies confirms that despite its complicated political feasibility, full sectoral coverage would reduce leakage [30].”
