摘要

In 2007, the European Union (EU) has agreed on an ambitious plan for the post-Kyoto era, envisioning a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions in Europe by 20 percent versus 1990 levels in 2020. To achieve that goal, the EU builds on the administrative framework of the emission trading system (ETS) which was established in 2005 and will enter its second phase in 2008. Obviously, more stringent environmental policies raise concerns on competitiveness, particularly to those sectors that are energy-intensive, export-oriented and not covered by globally harmonized policies but subject to unilateral actions: Companies from the EU member states facing high prices of emission certificates might find it difficult to compete against foreign companies unconstrained by such environmental regulation. As a remedy for this apparent problem, a range of alternative policy options may be applied. In this paper we investigate two different policies for mitigating detrimental effects of climate policy on domestic competitiveness and leakage rate: border tax adjustments (BTA) and integrated emission trading (IET). Whereas under the former both tax compensation for exporters and tariffs for importers are quantity-based, the latter system envisions trade in emission certificates for any company that intends to sell its goods in the domestic market.
