An investigation into the effects of border carbon adjustments on the Canadian economy / by Y.-H. Henry Chen, Hossein Jebeli, Craig Johnston, Sergey Paltsev and Marie-Christine Tremblay.: FB3-5/2023-27E-PDF

"This paper examines how border carbon adjustments (BCAs) may address the unintended consequences of uncoordinated global climate action, focusing on the economic implications for Canada. We investigate these implications under different BCA design features and by considering a coalition of countries and regions that adopt BCAs. We find that BCAs, in the form of import tariffs, reduce Canada’s carbon leakage to the rest of the world and improve its domestic and foreign competitiveness when Canada is part of a coalition of countries and regions that implement BCAs that includes the United States"--Abstract.
