| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 自然資源與環境管理研究所 === 99 === To respond to climate change and global warming, the emissions trading scheme has become a major global economic instrument. Under the scheme, industrial carbon dioxide emissions will be limited by the government. This will increase carbon risk and has a negative impact on its competitiveness. This then causes the problem called carbon leakage. These issues are a concern for government and academia in general. One of the concerning issues is “ Border Adjustment “, limiting the impact of industries moving away from the country. (European Commission, 2008; de Bruyn et al., 2008; Fischer and Fox, 2004)
This research has a three major purposes. Firstly, this research builds up a theoretical model to discuss how the factors of carbon risk influence the value added and market share on representative company. These factors include abatement cost, purchase cost of allowance, and electricity cost etc. Secondly, the study uses econometric methodology to run an empirical analysis of carbon risk on energy intensity industries, in Taiwan. Thirdly, introducing GTAP-E model to assess how the effect of carbon leakage of nation-wide compares with other countries.
