Empirical studies testing for evidence of leakage from existing policies such as the EU ETS do not find strong support.
“empirical studies testing for evidence of leakage from existing policies such as the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) do not find strong support”
From Carbon Leakage, Consumption, and Trade (2022) · cites this paper as [35]
The lack of empirical evidence for leakage is hardly surprising given the generous free allocations granted with the express aim of preventing leakage.
“however, this is hardly surprising given the generous free allocations granted with the express aim of preventing leakage (35, 36) (Section 4).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
