The purpose of this paper is to describe principles of policy design that can help make the implementation of output-based allocations (OBAs) efficient, fair and effective. The principles discussed in this paper apply not only to Alberta and the federal government, but also to those provinces that are implementing their carbon price through a cap-and-trade system.
