Carbon border adjustment mechanisms (CBAMs), which are currently being implemented by the EU and UK, aim to realign incentives by improving domestic competitiveness, reducing emissions leakage, and encouraging other countries to tax carbon. However, policy discussions also note that CBAMs could unfairly disadvantage lower-income trading partners. We evaluate these issues with a quantitative trade model and plant-level data for two key industries \u2013 steel and aluminum \u2013 which are the focus of early CBAM implementation. Together, they account for 14% of global emissions. We show that CBAMs can facilitate collective climate action, while largely avoiding disproportionate burdens on lower-income countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #008000;\">About the Speaker<\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"zfr3Q CDt4Ke \" dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"C9DxTc \">Jonathan Colmer is an Associate Professor of Economics and Public Policy in the <\/span><span class=\"C9DxTc aw5Odc \">Department of Economics<\/span><span class=\"C9DxTc \"> at the <\/span><span class=\"C9DxTc aw5Odc \">University of Virginia<\/span><span class=\"C9DxTc \">, and the Co-Founder and Director of the <\/span><span class=\"C9DxTc aw5Odc \">Environmental Inequality Lab<\/span><span class=\"C9DxTc \">.<\/span><span class=\"C9DxTc \">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"zfr3Q CDt4Ke \" dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"C9DxTc \">Jonathan works to understand how economic activity, policy, and the environment interact to shape prosperity, opportunity, and well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"zfr3Q CDt4Ke \" dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"C9DxTc \">He is a <\/span><span class=\"C9DxTc \">Theme Leader for the Climate &amp; Environment Program at <\/span><a class=\"XqQF9c\" href=\"https:\/\/pedl.cepr.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"C9DxTc aw5Odc \">PEDL (CEPR)<\/span><\/a><span class=\"C9DxTc \">, a <\/span><span class=\"C9DxTc \">research affiliate of <\/span><a class=\"XqQF9c\" href=\"https:\/\/cepr.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"C9DxTc aw5Odc \">CEPR<\/span><\/a><span class=\"C9DxTc \">, the <\/span><a class=\"XqQF9c\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cesifo.org\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"C9DxTc aw5Odc \">CESifo Network<\/span><\/a><span class=\"C9DxTc \">, <\/span><span class=\"C9DxTc \">and <\/span><span class=\"C9DxTc \">the <\/span><a class=\"XqQF9c\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theigc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"C9DxTc aw5Odc \">IGC<\/span><\/a><span class=\"C9DxTc \">, a research fellow of IZA, and a <\/span><span class=\"C9DxTc \">research associate at the <\/span><a class=\"XqQF9c\" href=\"http:\/\/cep.lse.ac.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"C9DxTc aw5Odc \">Center for Economic Performance<\/span><\/a><span class=\"C9DxTc \">.
