Border adjustments are currently discussed to limit the possible adverse impact of climate policies on competitiveness and carbon leakage. We discuss the main choices that will have to be made if the European Union implements such a system alongside with the EU ETS. Although more analysis is...

We analyse variations of carbon emissions in the European cement industry from 1990 to 2011, at the European level (EU 27), and at the national level for six major producers (Germany, France, Spain, United Kingdom, Italy and Poland). We apply a Log-Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method, crossing data...

Since 2007, the European cement and steel sectors have been characterized by substantial surplus production capacity. Hence re-investment in primary production of many materials remains limited and endangers the longer-term economic viability of many plants. Opportunities for innovation and...

Seit 2007 ist die europäische Zement- und Stahlindustrie mit einer starken Nachfragereduktion konfrontiert, die zu Überkapazitäten führte. Aus diesem Grund kommt es nur in begrenztem Maße zu Reinvestitionen bei Produktionsanlagen. Dies gefährdet jedoch die längerfristige...

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...
