"How to Model Border Carbon Adjustments in a Trade-Oriented CGE Framework" Authors: Pereira, Maria Filipa Seara, Cecilia Bellora and Przemyslaw Kowalski Abstract Carbon pricing varies globally, creating incentives for producers to relocate to low-carbon-price jurisdictions, reducing mitigation effectiveness. This proposal develops a flexible modeling tool—extending the OECD's METRO CGE model—to evaluate border carbon adjustments (BCAs) as a trade policy response. The tool integrates greenhouse gas intensity coefficients across global supply chains using the GTAP Circular Economy database and OECD carbon pricing data, enabling policymakers to simulate production shifts, bilateral trade flows, and embodied emissions under different BCA designs. The model captures short-term economic effects but excludes endogenous technological adaptation, providing scenario analysis for how trade reallocation affects emissions absent behavioral change. |
