TL;DR: In this article, the empirical literature documents that the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) may have important consequences for firms' competitiveness or profitability, and that the ETS may have significant consequences for companies' competitiveness and profitability.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the main reasons for the absence of negative impacts on competitiveness are a large over-allocation of emissions allowances leading to a price drop and the ability of firms to pass costs onto consumers in some sectors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore climate-friendly projects that could be part of the COVID-19 recovery while jump-starting the transition of the European basic materials industry, based on a literature review.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on potential explanations for why the empirical literature finds hardly any significant competitiveness effects on firms, least not during the first two phases of the scheme (2005-2012), and reason why the third phase (2013-2020) could reveal similar results.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluate for the first time whether these costs have led to packaging waste reduction and substitution of packaging materials, and they find that the EPR financial incentive has resulted in very little (though statistically significant) packaging reduction and no systematic substitution effects between packaging materials.
