Will the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism Impact European Electricity Prices? A GNN-Based Network Analysis
The European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) creates a complex challenge for the interconnected European electricity market. Traditional static analyses often miss the cross-border spillover effects that are vital for understanding this policy. This paper addresses this gap by developing a spatio-temporal Graph Neural Network (GNN) framework. It quantifies how CBAM affects electricity prices and carbon intensity (CI) at the same time. We modeled a subgraph of eight European countries. Our results suggest that CBAM is not just a uniform tax. Instead, it acts as a tool that transforms the market and creates structural differences. In our simulated scenarios, we observe tha...
