The Role of Trade and Competitiveness Measures in US Climate Policy
Abstract
We review the proposed measures for addressing competitiveness and carbon leakage concerns in recent US climate policy legislation. For eligible energy-intensive, trade-exposed sectors, output-based rebates would initially dampen cost increases; later, border adjustments would ensure that imports face comparable cost burdens. Both measures can in theory enhance the economic efficiency of carbon reduction efforts, but both pose some interesting economic and practical trade-offs. This paper discusses our recent research into the welfare and carbon leakage effects of using output-based allocation and trade measures in conjunction with climate policies.

The major downside of output-based free allocation is that it severely weakens incentives for efficient domestic production.

Without carbon costs reflected in material prices, output-based allocation negates any economic incentive for efficient material use and thus raises the overall cost for any given goal.
“As illustrated in Figure 6 , although producers have incentives to make incremental carbon efficiency improvements to meet the benchmark, without carbon costs reflected in material prices, output-based allocation negates any economic incentive for efficient material use (85) and thus raises the overall cost for any given goal.”

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.
