Will Cap and Trade Incite Protectionism?

CAMBRIDGE There is a serious danger that the international adoption of cap and trade legislation to limit carbon dioxide emissions will trigger a new round of protectionist measures. While aimed at reducing long term environmental damage, cap and trade policies could produce significant harmful economic effects in the near term that would continue into the future.

And the third day, it would be a Shikari cap just like an adventurer's cap.

Go to ClimateCrisis.org or CarbonCalculator.com and buy carbon credits. You could join other leaders in mandating, lobbying for mandated cap and trade in U.S. greenhouse gas reductions.

The first day, it was a huge umbrella cap, like a captain's cap.

Where at first we had a small cap of higher rainfall, that cap is now widening and getting higher.

Even if every country has a cap and trade system and all aim at the same relative reduction in national CO2 emissions, the resulting permit prices will differ because of national differences in initial CO2 levels and in domestic production characteristics. Because the price of the CO2 permits in a country is reflected in the prices of its products, the cap and trade system affects its international competitiveness.

Better roads, ports, and even schools all contribute to a country s competitiveness. No one attempts to use tariffs to balance those government created differences in competitiveness, and there should be no such attempts if a cap and trade system is introduced.

In the United States, the highly successful cap and trade system for sulfur dioxide emissions has effectively vanished. In Europe, the Emissions Trading System (ETS), the world s largest market for carbon allowances, has become increasingly irrelevant as well.

First, the overcapacity cut is not a simple cap control.

Second, energy rationing policies like cap and trade will be a permanent drag on economic activity. Ironically, emissions have not decreased as a result of these policies, but are doing so now as the world economy moves into recession.

With a tax, the costs are obvious. With a cap and trade system, the costs in terms of jobs, household consumption, and economic growth are hidden, shifted around, and not easy to estimate, though models indicate they will run into trillions of dollars.

The Obama administration has already moved against Chinese exports of tires and steel pipes, but this year s confrontation will extend well beyond trade. When Congress takes up the debate over climate change, for example, and some lawmakers call for a cap and trade system, others will demand to know why America should accept binding commitments to limit emissions while the Chinese refuse.

But the reality is that, if two sides willingly trade, it can be assumed that both are better off otherwise, one of them would refuse to trade. So, while trade liberalization may entail some (smaller) losses for certain groups, these can and should be addressed through domestic relocation and assistance schemes, such as America s Trade Adjustment Assistance program, and transition rules for affected industries, firms, and workers.
