Assessing alternative solutions to carbon leakage

Energy Economics, 2013
Abstract A modified version of the computable general equilibrium GTAP-E model is developed in order to assess the economic and carbon emission effects of alternative trade policy measures aimed at reducing carbon leakage. We compare several unilateral policy measures implemented by countries subject to an emissions level cap.

On Carbon Leakage and Technological Change

Energy & Environment, 2000
This paper discusses the impact of greenhouse gas emission penalties on the production costs of western European industrial product and agricultural products. The relevance of technological change for the price impact of a penalty differs significantly, but for most products the price impact is still so high that a significant increase of materials ...

The Implications of Alternative Biofuel Policies on Carbon Leakage

Research Papers in Economics, 2010
We show how leakage differs, depending on the biofuel policy and market conditions. Carbon leakage is shown to have two components: a market leakage effect and an emissions savings effect. We also distinguish domestic and international leakage and show how omitting the former like the IPCC does can bias leakage estimates.

Leakage in California's Carbon Market

The Electricity Journal, 2014
Although California's carbon market is generally seen as a model climate policy, recent reforms now credit utilities for shifting legacy coal contracts to their unregulated neighbors, a practice that causes leakage. To the extent the market relies on leakage to generate compliance on paper, it is producing the false appearance of emissions reductions ...

Modeling Carbon Leakages with Forestation Policies

2011
This paper analyzes carbon leakage due to reduced emissions from deforestation (RED). We find that leakage with RED is good because the policy induces afforestation that contributes to a further carbon sequestration. By ignoring the domestic component of carbon leakage, the literature can either overestimate or underestimate leakage, depending on the ...

CDM baseline approaches and carbon leakage

Energy Policy, 2007
Carbon leakage is an important issue because it can reduce the environmental effectiveness of international climate agreements. Under the Kyoto Protocol, the clean development mechanism (CDM) can potentially reduce carbon leakage significantly. To what extent this potential can be realized depends on how the CDM baseline approach accounts for this ...

Carbon Leakage with Structural Gravity [PDF]

, 2013
The future international climate policy architecture will most likely consist of partial climate policy initiatives like the EU's Emission Trading System. Trade integration threatens to undermine these systems' environmental effectiveness by shifting emissions to other countries. We estimate a gravity model based on 103 countries and use it to simulate

Is carbon leakage really low? A critical reconsideration of the leakage concept

2012
The emphasis of the book lies in finding critical solutions to global climate change including chapters on environmental fiscal reform and unemployment in Spain, EU structural and cohesion policy and sustainable development, ecological tax reform in Europe and Asia, Australia’s carbon pricing mechanism, and many other timely topics.

Why the CDM will reduce carbon leakage

Climate Policy, 2007
Carbon leakage is an important concern because it can reduce the environmental effectiveness of the Kyoto Protocol. The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), one of the flexibility mechanisms allowed under the protocol, has the potential to reduce carbon leakage significantly because it reduces the relative competitive disadvantage to Annex-B countries of
