Abstract (EN)
We compare several options for a border adjustment to the European Union Emission Trading  System. We discuss their WTO‐compatibility and provide a quantitative assessment based on the  partial equilibrium model CASE II. We conclude that, firstly, if the EU wants to implement such a  border adjustment, it should cover imports and exports rather than only imports, in order to  maximise the impact on world emissions. Secondly, the import part should consist in an obligation to  buy EU ETS allowances rather than a tax, in order to maximise both the WTO‐compatibility and the  impact on world emissions. Thirdly, both the import and the export adjustment should be based on  the recently defined EU product‐specific benchmarks. However, while border adjustments tackle  leakage efficiently, they are much less efficient than free allocation to mitigate the decrease in EU  production in GHG‐intensive sectors. Moreover they exacerbate the price increase of GHG‐intensive  products, which is detrimental to downstream industries.
