Leakage and Instruments to Address Leakage

The issue of leakage of carbon emissions from emission trading schemes to other regions resulting from competitiveness pressures is a crucial political issue underpinning the design of such schemes.  Our research focuses on analysing the scale of such leakage, the potential impacts of competitiveness concerns and the use of instruments such as Border Tax Adjustments to mitigate such concerns.
