      abstract = {Border carbon adjustments (BCAs) have been proposed to  address leakage and competitiveness concerns. In  traditional assessments, firms regard BCAs as output taxes  rather than implicit emissions taxes. Using a stylized  energy-economic model, we analyze the impact of BCAs for  alternative producer responses. When firms view BCAs as an  implicit emissions tax, the outcome depends on whether or  not firms can differentiate production across destination  markets. If firms are able to produce a lowemissions  variety for regions imposing BCAs, results are similar to  when firms regard BCAs as an output tax. If firms produce a  single variety for all markets, BCAs result in larger  leakage reductions than in standard approaches. We also  find that BCAs are less effective at addressing competitive  concerns in scenarios that result in larger leakage  reductions.},
