  • Working Paper 19-17: WTO'ing a Resolution to the China Subsidy
    WORKING PAPER 19-17 WTO’ing a Resolution to the China Subsidy Problem Chad P. Bown and Jennifer A. Hillman October 2019 Abstract The United States, European Union, and Japan have begun a trilateral process to confront the Chinese economic model, including its use of industrial subsidies and deployment of state-owned enterprises. This paper seeks to identify the main areas of tension and to assess the legal-economic challenges to constructing new rules to address the underlying conflict. It begins by providing a brief history of subsidy disciplines in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) predating any concerns introduced by China. It then describes contemporary economic problems with China’s approach to subsidies, their impact, and the apparent ineffectiveness of the WTO’s Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (ASCM) to address them. Finally, it calls for increased efforts to measure and pinpoint the source of the problems—in a manner analogous to how the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) took on agricultural subsidies in the 1980s—before providing a legal-economic assessment of proposals for reforms to notifications, evidence, remedies, enforcement, and the definition of a subsidy. JEL Code: F13 Keywords: WTO, subsidy, state-owned enterprise, dispute settlement Chad P. Bown is the Reginald Jones Senior Fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics and Jennifer A. Hillman is senior fellow for trade and international political economy at the Council on Foreign Relations. Authors’ Note: A revised version of this paper is forthcoming in the Journal of International Economic Law.

  • The Eu Ets Emissions Reduction Target and Interactions with Energy and Climate Policies
    CHAPTER THE EU ETS EMISSIONS REDUCTION TARGET AND INTERACTIONS WITH ENERGY AND CLIMATE POLICIES Authors: Matthieu JALARD, Lara DAHAN and Emilie ALBEROLA (I4CE – Institute for Climate 1 1 Economics), Sylvain CAIL and Kimon KERAMIDAS (ENERDATA) KEY MESSAGES • Introduction to the proposal for a revised EU ETS directive based on the European Council agreement - The -43% of CO2 emissions reduction EU ETS target and the linear reduction factor reduced at 2.2% from 2021 onwards correspond to a net additional reduction of 556 MtCO2e of the cumulative emissions cap by 2030. In addition, the European Council enforced in a binding EU target of at least 40% GHG reduction compared to 1990, a binding EU target of at least 27% Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in final energy, and an indicative EU target of at least 27% energy efficiency improvement compared to 2007 baseline - both without any binding targets for individual Member States. • In the EU 2020 energy & climate package, renewable energy policies account for a large share of emissions reductions but do not contributed significantly to the increasing surplus, in contrast to the impact of energy efficiency policies and offsets which were not factored into the cap - The surplus undermined the EUA price incentive which seems to have played a weak role, giving however a strong incentive for the 1.2 billion tons of CO2 emission reductions outside the EU ETS through Kyoto credits (CDM-JI). Steering technology developments in storage and demand response, together with more market based renewable supports and a targeted power market design are likely to enhance the ability of the EU ETS to drive emissions cost effectively in the power sector.

Goulder and Andrew Schein NBER Working Paper No. 19338 August 2013 JEL No. H23,Q50,Q54 ABSTRACT We examine the relative attractions of a carbon tax, a “pure” cap-and-trade system, and a “hybrid” option (a cap-and-trade system with a price ceiling and/or price floor). We show that the various options are equivalent along more dimensions than often are recognized. In addition, we bring out important dimensions along which the approaches have very different impacts.

  • Reducing CO2 from Cars in the European Union: Emission Standards Or Emission Trading?1
    Reducing CO2 from Cars in the European Union: Emission Standards or Emission Trading?1 Sergey Paltsev2, Y.-H. Henry Chen, Valerie Karplus, Paul Kishimoto, John Reilly MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA Andreas Loeschel University of Muenster and Centre for European Economic Research, Germany Kathrine von Graevenitz, Simon Koesler Centre for European Economic Research, Germany Abstract CO2 emissions mandates for new light-duty passenger vehicles have recently been adopted in the European Union (EU), which require steady reductions to 95 g CO2/km in 2021. Using a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, we analyze the impact of the mandates on oil demand, CO2 emissions, and economic welfare, and compare the results to an emission trading scenario that achieves identical emissions reductions. We find that vehicle emission standards reduce CO2 emissions from transportation by about 50 MtCO2 and lower the oil expenditures by about €6 billion, but at a net added cost of €12 billion in 2020. Tightening CO2 standards further after 2021 would cost the EU economy an additional €24-63 billion in 2025 compared with an emission trading system achieving the same economy-wide CO2 reduction. We offer a discussion of the design features for incorporating transport into the emission trading system. 1 This paper is an extended version of the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change Report 281 2 Corresponding Author: [email protected] 1. Introduction European Union legislation sets mandatory CO2 emissions reduction targets for new cars (EC, 2009). The legislation is based on the EU strategy for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles that is at once aimed at fighting climate change, reducing the EU reliance on imported fuels, and improving air quality (EC, 2007).
